welcome to my unboxing and first look at the WD minet switch this one's going to

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:18.480
go pretty fast because other than just

00:00:15.719 --> 00:00:25.240
the general news that WD does networking stuff now is pretty much a switch so

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

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:35.079
Port based quality of service that's cool energy efficient okay so it

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:39.239
probably turns off ports that you're not using and whatnot and turns down the uh

00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:44.719
the transmission power for shorter cable runs these kinds of Energy Efficiency

00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:47.199
features uh full HD okay uh any gigabit

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:50.280
switch it's capable full HD auto power down front use ports cable length

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:54.800
detection for transmit power conservation called that one uh more

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:59.079
flexibility well Ned design Auto sensing ports Auto duplex detection Port based

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.800
quality of service okay so connect to your router PowerUp expand your network

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

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:11.799
look at the minet switch great packaging look at that black internals myet switch

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

00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:22.640
can't hook up a switch then you probably don't have any business running

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:25.680
networking so don't worry about it these

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.159
are not smart switches these are just uh

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:14.480
we had like a lazy Susan we could like put it on it and be

00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:17.440
like now my arms are twisted see I'm

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

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:26.319
that oh this is actually cool okay fine fine they do have a unique feature so

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.360
what they meant by Port based quality of service is you actually plug in

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:35.200
physically so it's like completely dummy proof your higher priority devices into

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:40.640
the ports labeled High your mid priority devices into the ports labeled

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:43.959
creatively mid and your low uh your low

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:47.640
priority devices into the ports labeled

00:02:43.959 --> 00:02:49.159
cow no low low it's low not cow um they

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

00:02:51.599 --> 00:03:00.480
front you got your indicator LEDs power in and it's a switch you got

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.840
cooling vents minet switch from w thanks
