00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:09,120
so today on my floral couch for my video blog I'll be unboxing the thermal take

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:11,120
black widow or black X USB to es well

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:16,720
ESAT this is kind of a loose term I'm using here USB to SATA drive adapter so

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,480
this is basically a little dock that sits on your desk and you plug a hard

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,400
drive into the top of it and then you plug a USB cable into the back so it

6
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:29,800
supports 2 and 1/2 in and 3 and2 in drives it is hot swap ready it is USB

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:35,079
2.0 it is Windows and Mac ready and I think that pretty much covers all of the

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:38,920
pertinent specs so without further Ado I'm going to get my scissors here and

9
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:44,760
we're going to start opening this thing up it's kind of a neat product because

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,000
the the use for this is going to be for

11
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:50,440
people who want to Archive their data on

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,600
hard drives as it is right now hard drives are one of the cheapest per

13
00:00:52,239 --> 00:01:03,199
Gigabyte storage mediums even compared to things like DVD and Blu-ray and

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,760
mm they are also quite durable like

15
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,000
there's nothing that can cause a hard drive to Simply lose its data over time

16
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:14,840
whereas with something like a flash drive that can happen so the first thing

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,159
we find in the box is the black X itself

18
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:20,960
so hold on let me have a look at the accessories first and I'll get to that

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:27,079
in just a moment so please read first you've got a little um user's guide as

20
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,479
well as a little manual thingamajiggy here that basically gives you an

21
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,759
introduction to the unit itself okay and then they have how to set up

22
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:38,200
the software how to partition your drive on Windows that's a good thing to know

23
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,399
how to do and then further on down in the bottom oh we've got a power adapter

24
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,479
obviously especially for 3 and 1/2 in drives you are going to need external

25
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:54,280
power so it's just your Standard wall wart there and then we also have a USB

26
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:56,520
cable this is USB A2 B okay so it uses

27
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:01,079
the same USB plug as like a standard printer or a scanner so here's the unit

28
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:05,079
itself it's got a bit of a heft to it actually it's not it's not that light

29
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,920
but since it's something that would sit on your desk anyway I guess it's not

30
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:14,040
that big of a deal so on the front we've got the eject button which feels kind of

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:18,720
like a like an SNES like the actual feel of it is kind of it feels very solid

32
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,840
here is a power LED that glows around the outside here and then let's go

33
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:24,599
around to the back of the unit itself we got little rubber feet on the bottom so

34
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:29,120
it doesn't slide when it's sitting on your desk there is your power button

35
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,200
there's your power in as well as your USB interface and then on the top of the

36
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,239
drive itself also something I didn't mention before is where you'll find the

37
00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:41,840
interface so right inside there that's where your SATA ports are so that's a

38
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:46,280
SATA power and then a SATA data and you can see that without this flap down it's

39
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,760
actually just the right spacing for a 2 and 1/2 in Notebook drive but with the

40
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,200
flap up the spacing is just right for a

41
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,640
desktop drive so when you insert the drive in it's as simple as popping it in

42
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,280
so that the interface makes contact and then when you want to take it out it's

43
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:05,159
totally hot swap ready so you don't have to turn off the unit or turn off your

44
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,280
computer you just press the button and carefully remove your drive it's that

45
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:13,599
simple so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look of the thermal

46
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,599
