welcome to my unboxing and first look at the WD minet switch this one's going to
go pretty fast because other than just
the general news that WD does networking stuff now is pretty much a switch so
let's get this uh let's see what WD has to say for themselves 8 GB ports okay uh
Port based quality of service that's cool energy efficient okay so it
probably turns off ports that you're not using and whatnot and turns down the uh
the transmission power for shorter cable runs these kinds of Energy Efficiency
features uh full HD okay uh any gigabit
switch it's capable full HD auto power down front use ports cable length
detection for transmit power conservation called that one uh more
flexibility well Ned design Auto sensing ports Auto duplex detection Port based
quality of service okay so connect to your router PowerUp expand your network
yes switches are good for all those things and let's open it up and have a
look at the minet switch great packaging look at that black internals myet switch
plug the thing into the thing and then plug the other thing into the other thing three steps very simple if you
can't hook up a switch then you probably don't have any business running
networking so don't worry about it these
are not smart switches these are just uh
plain old switches I mean don't feel bad if you couldn't hook up a switch my mom
can't do it um she just calls me and then I deal with it for her so you know
if you have like a a nephew or a son or a you know creepy uncle or something who
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
ahead and have a close look at the myet switch I'm just going to put down on the
table and let diesel kind of do his camera thing as he sort of looks at it
and gets some you know as much yeah he's giving me the shrug here as much as you
can do glamour shots of a network switch see at that look at that shiny and then
like not shiny so there's a matte finish here and a glossy finish here a yeah if
we had like a lazy Susan we could like put it on it and be
like now my arms are twisted see I'm
stuck I tried uh okay so on the back you've got your 8 gbit ports look at
that oh this is actually cool okay fine fine they do have a unique feature so
what they meant by Port based quality of service is you actually plug in
physically so it's like completely dummy proof your higher priority devices into
the ports labeled High your mid priority devices into the ports labeled
creatively mid and your low uh your low
priority devices into the ports labeled
cow no low low it's low not cow um they
weren't going for the confus no I knew it said low I'm just kidding um on the
front you got your indicator LEDs power in and it's a switch you got
cooling vents minet switch from w thanks
