00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:15.440
welcome to my unboxing and first look at something that we've kind of looked at

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:18.800
before but not quite this is the Western

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:21.199
Digital My Book Velociraptor Duo so

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:26.599
we've already had a look at their other dual Drive Thunderbolt enclosure which

00:00:24.279 --> 00:00:32.439
actually had green drives inside which means you've got bigger capacity so that

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:35.840
one was a 4 tbte model whereas this one

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:37.960
is only 2 terab of total capacity but

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:43.879
the big difference is this one instead of those screen drives which spin at a

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

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:54.280
have more performance faster response times and lower capacity but more

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:58.559
performance and faster response times which is what Thunderbolt is all about

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

00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:06.080
dramatic performance data protection and daisy chain flexibility cool 2 terabytes

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:12.080
or up to 2 terabytes depending on how you configure it two WD Velociraptor

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.600
10,000 RPM drives inside compatible with

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

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:21.040
it up blazing speed from WD Velociraptor

00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:24.880
10,000 RPM driv revolutionary Thunderbolt interface okay so we pretty

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

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:33.920
like compared to the other one that we did already unbox and I am expecting it

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:40.680
to look very similar so we have a power brick we have really it includes a

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:46.600
Thunderbolt cable but not wait yeah it includes a Thunderbolt cable oh that's

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:48.479
awesome way to go WD for like Manning up

00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:56.439
and including the cable with these expensive Thunderbolt products love it

00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:58.840
good show okay moving right

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

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:08.840
quickly I might have noticed that it says Thunderbolt cable included and

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:10.959
contents Thunderbolt cable but I like

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.879
surprises that's half the fun of this unboxing channel it's like the surprise

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:19.040
of not reading the box and then being surprised by things that shouldn't

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.480
surprise us um you know what we should do just for giggle since I might not

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:28.840
actually open the enclosure is uh we should go be surprised that we have a

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:31.840
Western Digital Velociraptor and we should see if like

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.360
uh so this is our Velociraptor let's just see if our Velociraptor is the same

00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:41.840
as their Velociraptor but let's take a look at the at the enclosure first so

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

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:49.480
scale and uh I would also love to do the traditional iPhone size comparison I

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

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

00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:01.280
here there's passive ventilation going on in the bottom passive ventilation

00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:06.120
going going on in the top heat does naturally rise so you'll get cool air

00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:08.280
because these feet are so tall coming in through through the bottom of the

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

00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:17.920
next to your laptop although usually that probably wouldn't come up but I

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:23.319
would recommend putting it down on a hard surface okay at the back of oh

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.959
right indicator LED there it's hiding probably can't even see that on the

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

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:32.879
you're going to want to lock that up if you were using it in

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

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:47.280
Thunderbolt ports so these are passrs which means you can daisy chain up to

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:50.200
six of these which would be just oh way

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:55.000
too balling out so that would be 6 * 2 terabytes potentially with the whole

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

00:03:56.799 --> 00:04:02.959
could convince WD to send me 10 uh six of these

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

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.720
to be regular Velociraptor drives so you might as well look at the that while I

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

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:21.320
drive and it comes with a huge heat

00:04:16.239 --> 00:04:23.800
sink that allows it to stay cool and uh

00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:29.720
and and perform you know like it's 10,000 revolutions per minute that it

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.639
that it does and here we go a so only

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.759
only use WD Velociraptor drives now the other one was labeled only use green

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

00:04:37.039 --> 00:04:43.840
clearly nothing to do with the actual cooling capacity of the unit because

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.560
they've taken their lowest power

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:49.840
um coolest running drives and their highest power hottest running drives and

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:57.520
they've put them both in this enclosure so maybe I'm overthinking this but yes

00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:59.720
it just has this handy dandy pull tab

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:05.280
and other than that it looks the same as our Velociraptor down to the same part

00:05:02.080 --> 00:05:07.320
number two 1 TB Velociraptors and now

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:12.720
they're like um now they're like dual

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:18.039
Raptors thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the WD mybook

00:05:16.039 --> 00:05:21.600
Velociraptor Duo remember this is all about more performance and faster

00:05:20.039 --> 00:05:26.080
response times this is a professional grade product so if you were doing for

00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:30.800
example video editing then you might want something

00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:33.720
like this because it will be something that you can portably take with you with

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

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:42.840
you need that's not always on for example um many modern notebooks that

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

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.759
times so let's just finish up with

00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.639
um I don't know clowns
