00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:18,880
yeah it's a hard drive unboxing Okay so we've got the WD My Passport Edge

2
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,960
portable hard drive this is a USB 3 or USB 2 which is basically the same thing

3
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:26,560
well the same physical connectors USB 3 is about 10 times faster so I shouldn't

4
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:31,519
say it's the same thing it's ultra slim has P backup and it has password

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:35,480
encryption uh well like encryption that you can open with a password rather not

6
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:39,520
password encryption password encryption this new concept of encryption that

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,440
involves nothing but passwords No Cry encryption is like much more complicated

8
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,360
than just like a password because if it

9
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:49,160
was just a password then like you could just take the drive out put it in

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:56,800
something else and then read all the data off it WD has thought of that and

11
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,800
they don't want that to happen to you or

12
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,399
me I don't know why they care at all what I no trolling trolling slick

13
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,479
trolling slick don't worry we'll actually look at the hard drive now okay

14
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,520
let's take this out there we go let's have a look at what WD has to say for

15
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:15,680
themselves this is a 500 gig Drive however the other capacities will look

16
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:19,560
pretty much the same uh automatic backw software back Weare backup software is

17
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,720
included whenever you add your change a file it's instantly backed up very cool

18
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:27,479
WD security helps protect your files with Hardware encryption and password

19
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,439
protection to keep your data private now some of you might think oh no it's okay

20
00:01:29,479 --> 00:01:35,439
you know I you know all my my data if I've got nothing to hide then you know

21
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:38,840
it's no big deal but personally I would argue that everything is private even

22
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:42,439
though we upload our entire lives to Facebook if you didn't upload it to

23
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Facebook it's probably for a reason so you might as well use something

24
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:51,040
encrypted the contents are the smartware software the quick install guide and the

25
00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:55,719
things that you see here there we go aha wow that's slim

26
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,640
look at that it's basically like like the actual

27
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:04,039
plastic shell on this must not be thicker than like this because there's

28
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:08,440
basically just like a hard drive in there with uh four oh those are rubber

29
00:02:06,119 --> 00:02:13,000
too look at that they put the see little touches like that they put the extra

30
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:17,040
money into doing instead of just molding a plastic bump onto it which actually

31
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:22,040
doesn't do anything because it would just slide around on the table like this

32
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:26,800
which for hard drives by the way is bad um the rubber dots actually keep it from

33
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,959
you know moving unnecessarily which is good okay there's your USB 3 interface

34
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,480
on the back which goes a little something

35
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:39,360
like this and then like this remember this

36
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:43,959
plug is compatible with USB 2 and USB 3 never hold a hard drive like this by the

37
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:49,360
way that's sort of terrible here just you know hold like football safe

38
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,720
encrypted okay in the back of the connector there's additional pins and

39
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:57,800
then in the front of the connector there's the USB 2.0 pins so that's how

40
00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:00,360
that works uh the software

41
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:05,040
is presumably available for for download although it did say it did say package

42
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:10,640
contents smartware sof you know what it's probably loaded on the drive

43
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:13,599
actually her D um there's your oh man I

44
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:20,720
love this my passport Edge this is a quick start guide plug the thing into

45
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:23,040

camera on my neck
