Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner
is nc.com hey guys we're here at qap to
check out their turbon Nas SS 469 Pro
name is a little bit complicated but the hardware specs are not it has an Intel
atom 2.3 GHz dual core processor 1 gig
of RAM expandable up to 3 gigs that's pretty cool you can have 512 megab of
flash memory it has four hd/ SD that's
2.5 in um some USB stuff other stuff that's not that big of a deal I'm going
to show you the actual physical thing here right now so you've got some pretty
nice hot soft Bays if I can get it out here he just did it for me there we go
pretty nice hot soft Bays where you can mount your drives in there shove them in you got four
Bays fairly simple looking unit but it looks nice and professional but what
actually wowed me is cuz I wouldn't normally be that excited about a Nas but
this one actually has a web control panel so you can access all of your
files away from home if you're one of those kind of people that don't really
like having all your files on say Dropbox or Google Docs or something like
that because you don't like them being out there and controlled by someone else
you can actually run your own Cloud Server so it's all your own stuff
there's tons of different options in here you can have all your photos music videos all that kind of stuff easily
accessible and easily sorted you can actually pick which folders push into
these easily selectable icons in their settings uh you can set up exactly how
you want it to be set up through your router or soon it's currently in beta
but very soon they'll will have a way that it sets itself up for you so you
don't even have to touch your router at all which will be very nice once that's set up you can share files music video
video uh music video pictures whatever you want you can have them publicly sharable through a link or you can send
them directly through an email to people that you want so it's just basically
gives you all the options that everything that you might currently be using say Dropbox or Google Docs or
Google drive or sky drive or whatever there's a billion of them but it's all
manageable by yourself you have it back up for you you can set up group files
there's different apps you can download for it it's crazy you can have stuff in code currently uh while you're using it
so basically this resource monitor down here which I find awesome because I'm a
hardware guy we'll show you exactly how much it's currently using it's not doing
much right now so the CPU is Right low and the RAM's very low but earlier we
were encoding and it just maxed the CPU out through RAM through the roof and
actually encoded a video on the Fly while we were doing other things within
the station and it didn't lag it out so that was great it's you can encode
anything to work on anything so like uh the guy was helping me out with saying
you can have it run an iPhone video when you had it actually for massive format
you can tune it down get lower uh resolution rates and have it run in
something else if you'd like and one
second here I'm just going to jump into their control panel if you were worried about this being locked down and not
being able to use it that great jump into their control panel and there's
every option you could pretty much ever want you can have you can have things
delete easily you can have your own security setups you can have Eco power
running you can can run firmware updates like I don't even there's way too many
options here to cover in a quick video like this but it's got pretty much
everything you could want which is awesome I personally find this kind of
stuff very cool because I don't like hosting myself out out in the cloud like
I was saying earlier I like having control of all my own files I like being
able to back up my own Nas I like being able to back up all my own stuff I like
having my own hard drives I don't know it's just my kind of a thing just
jumping back to the resource monitor real quick if we actually click on the name resource monitor it's going to take
a second to load up here and then it'll come up you can get way more in-depth
statistics here we go it's going to take a second to populate this actually don't
know if it will because I believe this is in beta but it'll take a second to populate this but it can show you your
usage graphs so CPU usage over the next little while memory usage we're going to
jump in here there we go that one's actually populating so memory usage you
can see how much it's currently using how much is free basically you can figure out okay maybe I need to buy a
bigger qap system because I'm constantly encoding things and constantly
converting things or this one's great for you because you're not converting
things all the time just every once in a while and you just need four two and a
half inch Bays this thing is pretty cool
I've seen a couple like them but the user interface on this is very very
streamlined and very very nice so thanks for checking out our qot booth we're
going to move on hey guys still at the Q not booth just wanted to cover this before I left just in case you worried
about connectivity within your home you can connect it through DLNA HDMI or
AirPlay one thing that he showed me was through HDMI you can very easily set up
Xbox media player as we show up here Xbox media player is awesome for home
theater setups so if you have this guy near your TV you can have all your media
on it right there and very very easily streamed Xbox media player and still
take the advantage of the accessible through the web platform that we showed
you earlier thanks for watching our qap content to see all of our content about
