Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,040
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:16,480
is nc.com we're at the ASUS store Booth

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,800
here at computex 2013 and while you might not be familiar with ASUS store

5
00:00:18,279 --> 00:00:23,480
you're definitely familiar with their parent company if you watch this channel

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,920
ASUS created this entirely new subsidiary of their business in order to

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,520
address the very different needs that storage users have compared to the kinds

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,800
of folks who buy performance graphics cards say for example so here at the

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:41,360
show they're showing off the ASUS store 3 Series as well as the ASUS store 6

10
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:45,559
Series so unique features of the three series include an IR receiver which you

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:50,800
can clearly see right here on the 2bay version it's available in a 2bay and 3

12
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:54,640
Bay version as well as check this out there is an HDMI output on the back of

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:59,440
the unit that actually allows you to use it with boxy software they've got a demo

14
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:05,199
running to my right over here and their AI remote app here we go as a media

15
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,960
player which is pretty freaking cool and that's functionality that we haven't

16
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:12,680
seen in an as before speaking of more functionality the six series which is

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,240
available in anywhere from a two drive to an eight Drive configuration we've

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,479
got the two and the four right here actually has expandable memory in

19
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:24,880
addition to its dual core processor so ASUS store actually won a Best Choice

20
00:01:22,119 --> 00:01:29,520
Award here at computex 2013 for network attached storage data storage devices

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,000
and there's a very very big reason for that come on on over here so

22
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:36,280
expandability fine you expand your RAM fine you expand your connectivity now

23
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,119
you can expand your functionality on the device CU you might go I've had nazes in

24
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:44,439
the past and I've never needed to expand my RAM because they only do what they do

25
00:01:42,119 --> 00:01:48,360
with their App Central concept of being able to add functionality over time you

26
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,240
can add things such as their FTP Explorer which is available now there's

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:56,079
about 100 apps available at this time as well as their Dropbox app to increase

28
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:01,600
functionality I'm going to show you one of the apps that is on this iPad right

29
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:06,960
here it's called AI download and it's an easy way to here we go search and access

30
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:10,840
things like Torrance set them up for download without ever actually

31
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,680
interfacing through your computer now speaking of interfacing through your

32
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:18,519
computer guys the software is in beta right now so don't worry too much about the language barrier if you're if you're

33
00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:22,519
watching from another region but speaking of not needing to use the

34
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,680
computer they've actually added a spotlight search right here a search

35
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,959
light that allows you to find things on the nas directly through the web UI

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,480
rather than relying on simply navigating through the file explorer so the demo

37
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:40,040
search that they did for us was music which brings up well music that is

38
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:45,120
stored on your Naas server now speaking of not necessarily needing access to

39
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:49,000
your desktop as well as improving functionality a su store has added an

40
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:53,080
industry first so this is a search light type search functionality so it actually

41
00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:58,400
gives you suggestions for your search results as you go through the web UI

42
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,599
itself not even requiring you to use the regular File Explorer on your computer

43
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:08,000
this integrates nicely with their app functionality as well as their mobile

44
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:13,319
concept so you can use the AI Master app right here to actually access your files

45
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:18,120
as well as see the activity of your Nas and do things like backup and restore

46
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:22,560
it's available for iPad as well as Android devices and when I say iPad I

47
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,879
mean iOS of course now as you guys know we're here at the show powered by

48
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Western Digital so it'd be a real shame if I didn't tell you what would be the

49
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:34,959
optimal drives for these Naas enclosures so anything from a 3 Series 2 or 4 Bay

50
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:39,920
to a six- series 2 or 4 Bay is going to be a perfect pairing for a wd red Drive

51
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:44,000
they have lower noise characteristics as well as lower power consumption compared

52
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,920
to regular desktop drives making them perfect for these tight applications

53
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,840
where they are going to be sandwiched right up against each other however the

54
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:57,840
WD red is really optimal for anywhere from a 1 to five bay configuration so

55
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,640
something like a six series six Bay or 8 bay which is also available is going to

56
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:06,879
be a better fit for a wd SE they just launched these at the show they're

57
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:10,519
optimal for greater than five Drive configurations all the way up to 24

58
00:04:08,799 --> 00:04:16,799
drives or Beyond because of their Enterprise grade heritage but they don't

59
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,079
cost nearly as much as a wdr drive does

60
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:23,759
which is their raid Edition drive so it makes for a nice balance if you don't

61
00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:27,840
need the ruggedness of an re but you need something that is more resistant to

62
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:32,479
vibration from other drives because of a a larger multi-drive configuration

63
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,960
compared to a wd red thanks for checking out our coverage of the ASUS store Booth

64
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,120
here at computex 2013 don't forget we are powered by WD here as well as

65
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:44,680
