this video is brought to you by the Corsair obsidian 350d microatx case

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.400
exceptional expansion and cooling flexibility for compact high performance

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:15.160
PCS visit Corsair.com obsidian to learn

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:18.560
more welcome to my unboxing and First

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:22.039
Look aha at a type of packaging that

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:25.760
you'll likely never see so this is a

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:28.160
four pack of seat's new NZ hard drive so

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:33.559
what is a NZ hard drive see it requires a lot of explanation because similar to

00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:38.079
seates competitor who also has a Nas optimized drive this one has a very

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.640
cryptic name that doesn't in any way imply the functional oh wait no it's

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:45.680
called a NZ hard drive okay so it's for nazes it's available in a variety of

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:51.199
capacities up to 4 terabyte which for a consumer grade NAS drive is right now

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.879
the highest capacity that you can get it comes with a three-year warranty it uses

00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.399
a SATA 3 6 GB per second interface not

00:00:55.879 --> 00:01:01.559
that that matters in any way shape or form because quite frankly the things

00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:04.920
that matter for Naz drives are a couple of things so number one is vibration

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:09.240
tolerance these ones are optimized for anywhere from 1 to five drives in an

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:12.799
enclosure and they are optimized to not be interfered with by the other drives

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.360
around them the next thing is workload so these are rated for a 24/7 workload

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.159
however not to the same sort of extent that you'd find on something like a

00:01:19.479 --> 00:01:26.439
Seagate constellation es which is their their Enterprise class drive it's also

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:30.439
designed for quiet operation which is important if you're using your Nas or

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:34.240
your hard drive enoder encloser hard drive encloser it's a new thing I just

00:01:32.399 --> 00:01:37.920
invented a hard drive enclosure on something like a desktop next to your PC

00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:43.399
and you don't want to sit around and listen to it and um of course cost is a

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:48.439
factor so as a consumer grade device this particular NAS drive is not very

00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:52.280
expensive performance takes a back seat with a Nas hard drive and the reason for

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:56.520
that is because most nasas are going to be limited not by the performance of the

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:01.000
drives inside but by the performance of the network interface attached to them

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:04.240
in most cases gigabit which one of these drives can max out never mind if you go

00:02:02.759 --> 00:02:08.560
and Chuck like four of them in an enclosure running in RAID 10 which or

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:11.560
something like that um or they're going to be held back by the controller

00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:15.760
involved which in most nases is not going to be able to handle more than

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:20.480
gigabit operation anyway in something like a raid five which is what I

00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:24.319
personally would usually run four drives in as long as I have a controller that's

00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:28.879
powerful enough to deliver me at least you know 40 50 60 megabytes per second

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:32.920
of right speed because there are a lot of calculations in grade five is

00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:38.800
efficient because it gives you three drives worth of capacity with only one

00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:40.480
drive taken up in terms of redundancy

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.959
but it just means more calculation intensive therefore it is slower thank

00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:48.000
you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Seagate NAS drive and

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.760
hey guys stay tuned because I'm going to back up these claims where I'm actually

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:57.120
here first I want you guys to say what you think am I right or am I wrong about

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.200
the whole NAS Drives performance doesn't matter thing cuz I'm going to try and

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:03.239
back it up I've actually got slick working on a test right now where we're

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:08.720
going to be using a pretty high-end Synology Nas so $500 $600 for Bay Nas

00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:13.799
and we're going to go Seagate NAS drive versus WD red 3 terb and we're going to

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:17.120
find out which one performs better stay tuned for more don't forget to subscribe
