feels like I've been looking at a lot of Nas units lately but this is one from ly
which is uh unique in the fact that it is designed by Neil pton like to zoom in
on that right there this is the network Space 2 and Neil poulton has gone ahead
and designed a black glossy square box
that features torrent downloads media streaming and up to 65 megabytes per
second Ethernet speed you can see they've got it advertised as gigabit
Ethernet and USB 2 .0 although I'm not sure if it works as a USB 2.0 drive
right off your comp oh yes it does there you go all right right on the side it
answers that question so it has USB to connect to a disk key or printer and
then it also has like a usbb connector there so you can connect it directly to
a computer and use it as a USB drive instead of a Nas should you so desire
there's a power button as well as a power
input plug spot all right so they show
you how to connect it how to access all of your data anywhere using it and easy
setup access download files even with your computer off centralize share and
backup files at home create private accounts for everyone in your household
which has like four stars on it for some reason I'm not sure why maybe they're
just saying that you need to you know know how to do it or something all right
so backup iTunes server remote access eco-friendly it has a 2-year warranty
okay and then on the other side we've got the Box contents which we will find
out in just a moment when we open it
cuz that's what we do on this channel we open
boxes or unbox product whichever you
prefer there we are slicey
slicey ooh very very well packed
congratulations ly you have shipped a very well packaged product here I like
this closed cell foam that they're using because it is pretty much
indestructible I mean look at that you can take it and like drop it and you can
tell it's just there's no there's no give to it and yet there is it's a very
nice cushion for your uh for your hard drive I mean the last thing you want to
see is a hard drive that ships in something that's uh not
sturdy all right Network Space 2 quick install
guide this is the guide you will want to use to install it quickly there that's
the French section already so that was it it was like four pages then we have a
network Space 2 the 1.0 C utilities CD
or dvd you might want to go ahead and try that find out if there's anything
useful on it and if there are uh newer versions on the ly website then go ahead
and download them and use those instead included we have a very fancy looking
Ethernet cable see that mirrored finish on the side very nice very nice black
cable all right then we have a USB A to
B cable so that's for connecting it directly to your computer as a USB drive
here we have what appears to be an adapter
although I don't know if I've seen that standard before all right then there's
another adapter and then there's the one that I
need the US adapter okay so hey look at
that that's kind of neat it ships like International ready already so you just
go ahead and uh put that on there well
that's great if you're uh you're planning to travel with it or if you're
planning to uh live in another country other than the us or Canada and and buy
one of these it already comes with uh other adors although I don't recognize
either of these I've seen the ones with uh with the cylindrical prongs I've seen
some other ones I don't recognize either of those maybe you can tell me what
country those are for if you're watching this
video all right here is the network Space 2 so you can see clearly right
here there's a PCB and that's connected to all of your inputs and outputs so
there's your gigabit Ethernet there's your USB 2.0 there's a DC power in all
right and then on the bottom you've got this is kind of a neat way to do this
all of your uh certifications and branding and whatnot is on little
rubberized feet which will prevent the network Space
2 from moving when you put it down on the table you can see it is quite sturdy
that's not going to move at all so I'm going to go ahead and take
the plastic off it is extremely shiny so
you can see my chest mounted tripod cam
quite easily and we'll do the obligatory finger shot here so you can see just how
shiny it is it is very square and very
black well not really Square it's more of a rectangular prism see you've caught
me on like a holiday so my hair is like messier than usual even and here at the
front we find the USB port which we can use to plug in a USB thumb drive a
printer because it does act as a print server and then on the other side we
find the let see branding so I guess we
might as well do a quick test with it to find out if their claims of 65 megabytes
per second are true or false and other
than that that's all there is to really say about the network Space 2
