00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:15,440
welcome to my unboxing and first look at something that we've kind of looked at

2
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,800
before but not quite this is the Western

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,199
Digital My Book Velociraptor Duo so

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,599
we've already had a look at their other dual Drive Thunderbolt enclosure which

5
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:32,439
actually had green drives inside which means you've got bigger capacity so that

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:35,840
one was a 4 tbte model whereas this one

7
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:37,960
is only 2 terab of total capacity but

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,879
the big difference is this one instead of those screen drives which spin at a

9
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:49,480
around 5,400 RPM has two drives that spin at 10,000 RPM so we're going to

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:54,280
have more performance faster response times and lower capacity but more

11
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,559
performance and faster response times which is what Thunderbolt is all about

12
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:02,079
so let's see what WD I've already done my SPI but let's see what they think

13
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:06,080
dramatic performance data protection and daisy chain flexibility cool 2 terabytes

14
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:12,080
or up to 2 terabytes depending on how you configure it two WD Velociraptor

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,600
10,000 RPM drives inside compatible with

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,759
OSX 10 whatever you want to call it okay we're going to look at that when we open

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,040
it up blazing speed from WD Velociraptor

18
00:01:18,759 --> 00:01:24,880
10,000 RPM driv revolutionary Thunderbolt interface okay so we pretty

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,799
much covered this so let's open it up and have a look at what this one looks

20
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:33,920
like compared to the other one that we did already unbox and I am expecting it

21
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:40,680
to look very similar so we have a power brick we have really it includes a

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:46,600
Thunderbolt cable but not wait yeah it includes a Thunderbolt cable oh that's

23
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:48,479
awesome way to go WD for like Manning up

24
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:56,439
and including the cable with these expensive Thunderbolt products love it

25
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:58,840
good show okay moving right

26
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:01,479
along oh it says that right on the box had I not gone through the box so

27
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:08,840
quickly I might have noticed that it says Thunderbolt cable included and

28
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,959
contents Thunderbolt cable but I like

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,879
surprises that's half the fun of this unboxing channel it's like the surprise

30
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,040
of not reading the box and then being surprised by things that shouldn't

31
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,480
surprise us um you know what we should do just for giggle since I might not

32
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:28,840
actually open the enclosure is uh we should go be surprised that we have a

33
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Western Digital Velociraptor and we should see if like

34
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,360
uh so this is our Velociraptor let's just see if our Velociraptor is the same

35
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:41,840
as their Velociraptor but let's take a look at the at the enclosure first so

36
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,000
it's about the size of two 3 and 1 half in drives if you guys aren't sure of the

37
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:49,480
scale and uh I would also love to do the traditional iPhone size comparison I

38
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:53,239
know it's been a while since I've pulled this out but there you go iPhone size

39
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,599
comparison so now you all will know how big it is lots of cooling you can see

40
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:01,280
here there's passive ventilation going on in the bottom passive ventilation

41
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:06,120
going going on in the top heat does naturally rise so you'll get cool air

42
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,280
because these feet are so tall coming in through through the bottom of the

43
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:14,640
enclosure and then up through the top I wouldn't recommend running this on a soft surface such as like on your bed

44
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,920
next to your laptop although usually that probably wouldn't come up but I

45
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:23,319
would recommend putting it down on a hard surface okay at the back of oh

46
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,959
right indicator LED there it's hiding probably can't even see that on the

47
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,000
camera don't worry about it on the back you've got your power in your Kensington lock because this baby is valuable

48
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:32,879
you're going to want to lock that up if you were using it in

49
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:40,080
public or as a store demo you know there's a valid reason for this um two

50
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:47,280
Thunderbolt ports so these are passrs which means you can daisy chain up to

51
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,200
six of these which would be just oh way

52
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:55,000
too balling out so that would be 6 * 2 terabytes potentially with the whole

53
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:58,840
thing running in raid zero off a 10 GB per section thund you know I wonder if I

54
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:02,959
could convince WD to send me 10 uh six of these

55
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,840
probably not okay let's have a look at the drives inside so I'm expecting these

56
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,720
to be regular Velociraptor drives so you might as well look at the that while I

57
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:16,239
open it so this is a 2 and 1/2 in Drive however it is a thicker form factor

58
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:21,320
drive and it comes with a huge heat

59
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:23,800
sink that allows it to stay cool and uh

60
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:29,720
and and perform you know like it's 10,000 revolutions per minute that it

61
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:31,639
that it does and here we go a so only

62
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,759
only use WD Velociraptor drives now the other one was labeled only use green

63
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,880
drives I don't know if this is firmware locked or anything like that but it's

64
00:04:37,039 --> 00:04:43,840
clearly nothing to do with the actual cooling capacity of the unit because

65
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,560
they've taken their lowest power

66
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:49,840
um coolest running drives and their highest power hottest running drives and

67
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:57,520
they've put them both in this enclosure so maybe I'm overthinking this but yes

68
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:59,720
it just has this handy dandy pull tab

69
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:05,280
and other than that it looks the same as our Velociraptor down to the same part

70
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,320
number two 1 TB Velociraptors and now

71
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:12,720
they're like um now they're like dual

72
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:18,039
Raptors thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the WD mybook

73
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:21,600
Velociraptor Duo remember this is all about more performance and faster

74
00:05:20,039 --> 00:05:26,080
response times this is a professional grade product so if you were doing for

75
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:30,800
example video editing then you might want something

76
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:33,720
like this because it will be something that you can portably take with you with

77
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:38,960
your footage you'll get the again the response time that you get from the faster RPM drives and the capacity that

78
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:42,840
you need that's not always on for example um many modern notebooks that

79
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:50,759
are equipped with Thunderbolts so you can get that storage and the speed and the I think I've repeated myself a few

80
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,759
times so let's just finish up with

81
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:55,639
um I don't know clowns
