00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:15,719
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the WD minet switch this one's going to

2
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,480
go pretty fast because other than just

3
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:25,240
the general news that WD does networking stuff now is pretty much a switch so

4
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:31,439
let's get this uh let's see what WD has to say for themselves 8 GB ports okay uh

5
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:35,079
Port based quality of service that's cool energy efficient okay so it

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:39,239
probably turns off ports that you're not using and whatnot and turns down the uh

7
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:44,719
the transmission power for shorter cable runs these kinds of Energy Efficiency

8
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:47,199
features uh full HD okay uh any gigabit

9
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:50,280
switch it's capable full HD auto power down front use ports cable length

10
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:54,800
detection for transmit power conservation called that one uh more

11
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:59,079
flexibility well Ned design Auto sensing ports Auto duplex detection Port based

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,800
quality of service okay so connect to your router PowerUp expand your network

13
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:07,320
yes switches are good for all those things and let's open it up and have a

14
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:11,799
look at the minet switch great packaging look at that black internals myet switch

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:17,880
plug the thing into the thing and then plug the other thing into the other thing three steps very simple if you

16
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,640
can't hook up a switch then you probably don't have any business running

17
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:25,680
networking so don't worry about it these

18
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,159
are not smart switches these are just uh

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:32,240
plain old switches I mean don't feel bad if you couldn't hook up a switch my mom

20
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,479
can't do it um she just calls me and then I deal with it for her so you know

21
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,520
if you have like a a nephew or a son or a you know creepy uncle or something who

22
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:46,240
knows how to do networking then you can get them to do it for you if you if you don't know how to do it so uh let's go

23
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,280
ahead and have a close look at the myet switch I'm just going to put down on the

24
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:54,880
table and let diesel kind of do his camera thing as he sort of looks at it

25
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:59,439
and gets some you know as much yeah he's giving me the shrug here as much as you

26
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:03,479
can do glamour shots of a network switch see at that look at that shiny and then

27
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:08,560
like not shiny so there's a matte finish here and a glossy finish here a yeah if

28
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,480
we had like a lazy Susan we could like put it on it and be

29
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:17,440
like now my arms are twisted see I'm

30
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:22,440
stuck I tried uh okay so on the back you've got your 8 gbit ports look at

31
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,319
that oh this is actually cool okay fine fine they do have a unique feature so

32
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:30,360
what they meant by Port based quality of service is you actually plug in

33
00:02:28,239 --> 00:02:35,200
physically so it's like completely dummy proof your higher priority devices into

34
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:40,640
the ports labeled High your mid priority devices into the ports labeled

35
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:43,959
creatively mid and your low uh your low

36
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,640
priority devices into the ports labeled

37
00:02:43,959 --> 00:02:49,159
cow no low low it's low not cow um they

38
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:53,360
weren't going for the confus no I knew it said low I'm just kidding um on the

39
00:02:51,599 --> 00:03:00,480
front you got your indicator LEDs power in and it's a switch you got

40
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,840
cooling vents minet switch from w thanks
