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

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

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:26.560
well the same physical connectors USB 3 is about 10 times faster so I shouldn't

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

00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:35.480
encryption uh well like encryption that you can open with a password rather not

00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.520
password encryption password encryption this new concept of encryption that

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.440
involves nothing but passwords No Cry encryption is like much more complicated

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.360
than just like a password because if it

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:49.160
was just a password then like you could just take the drive out put it in

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:56.800
something else and then read all the data off it WD has thought of that and

00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:56.800
they don't want that to happen to you or

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:03.399
me I don't know why they care at all what I no trolling trolling slick

00:01:02.480 --> 00:01:08.479
trolling slick don't worry we'll actually look at the hard drive now okay

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

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:15.680
themselves this is a 500 gig Drive however the other capacities will look

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:19.560
pretty much the same uh automatic backw software back Weare backup software is

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.720
included whenever you add your change a file it's instantly backed up very cool

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:27.479
WD security helps protect your files with Hardware encryption and password

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

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

00:01:33.399 --> 00:01:38.840
it's no big deal but personally I would argue that everything is private even

00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:42.439
though we upload our entire lives to Facebook if you didn't upload it to

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:46.240
Facebook it's probably for a reason so you might as well use something

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:51.040
encrypted the contents are the smartware software the quick install guide and the

00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:55.719
things that you see here there we go aha wow that's slim

00:01:54.680 --> 00:02:00.640
look at that it's basically like like the actual

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:04.039
plastic shell on this must not be thicker than like this because there's

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:08.440
basically just like a hard drive in there with uh four oh those are rubber

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:13.000
too look at that they put the see little touches like that they put the extra

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:17.040
money into doing instead of just molding a plastic bump onto it which actually

00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:22.040
doesn't do anything because it would just slide around on the table like this

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

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.959
you know moving unnecessarily which is good okay there's your USB 3 interface

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.480
on the back which goes a little something

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:39.360
like this and then like this remember this

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

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:49.360
way that's sort of terrible here just you know hold like football safe

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.720
encrypted okay in the back of the connector there's additional pins and

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

00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.360
that works uh the software

00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:05.040
is presumably available for for download although it did say it did say package

00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:10.640
contents smartware sof you know what it's probably loaded on the drive

00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:13.599
actually her D um there's your oh man I

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:20.720
love this my passport Edge this is a quick start guide plug the thing into

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:23.040
the thing run the thing and then get

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:26.799
updates awesome download the latest software thank you WD for validating

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.599

camera on my neck
