1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,000
today we'll be unboxing the sans digital tower raid tr4m and we've got the uh the

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:11,599
b model the black model so it's available in both colors so this is

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,759
actually for the cameraman's video editing station because he's run out of

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:19,439
space and he needs a nice fast solution for editing video so let's have a look

5
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:24,160
at the accessory package to start we've got an e-SATA cable

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,880
and we've got uh let's see let's go here we've got okay that's a power cord just

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:32,640
a standard pc power cord then we have thumb screws for installing up to four

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:36,320
hard drives so you can see there's only two screws per drive so we'll have to

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:41,680
have a look at the mounting system in a minute and then a pci express 1x esata

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,040
card which we won't actually be using because the camera ran does his editing

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,480
on a laptop so there's your quick installation guide uh technical support

12
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:53,280
and what appears to be a driver cd so now

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:59,840
let's get into the actual tr4m unit itself

14
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:01,680
it's uh pretty reasonably sized for a

15
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,360
four-bay enclosure and let's just get the packaging off

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:09,439
here so oh this is kind of nice looking okay so

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:14,240
basically we've got a shiny plastic finish both on the front and on all

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,080
sides so i'll get you to have a look there hopefully that's pretty good so

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,799
you can see at the back we've got an 80 millimeter exhaust fan you've got your

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:27,360
esata interface you've got a switch here to switch between 115 volt or 230 volts

21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,360
so make sure you've got the right one enabled before you power this baby up

22
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:34,159
there's your power input and then an on and off switch

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,759
on the other side you've got some more ventilation holes so that's going to

24
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:42,000
draw air across your hard drives and then out the back of the unit and then

25
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:46,000
let's have a look at the front here so there's your activity leds for your four

26
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:50,399
hard drives there's your host activity led your power led

27
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:54,240
and then let's open this baby up nope sorry

28
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,840
so there you go you slide the drives in one by one

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,840
and then there is a back plane on the back of the unit itself on the inside

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:06,560
and let's actually just open this up so that we can demo a little bit better

31
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:10,080
here so it's three thumb screws on the back and they're a little bit tight so

32
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:15,920
i'm going to use my screwdriver to start them here there we go

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,520
and let's take off the cover and then we can see the very inner workings

34
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,560
themselves okay let's slide this back oh that's

35
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:30,319
pretty easy okay so there you go so all you do is slide the hard drive in

36
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,800
okay so we've got a wd black slide it in from the front you can see

37
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,440
it engages with the back plane right about there and then you use two

38
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,920
of the included thumb screws which i've gone and put somewhere else

39
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,319
to secure the drive on both sides at the front

40
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:52,800
actually it's pretty straightforward it'd be nice to see hot swap but for the

41
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:56,560
price you can't really complain uh put it there anyway so thank you for

42
