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

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:11.599
b model the black model so it's available in both colors so this is

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:15.759
actually for the cameraman's video editing station because he's run out of

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

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:24.160
at the accessory package to start we've got an e-SATA cable

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

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:32.640
a standard pc power cord then we have thumb screws for installing up to four

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

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

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.040
card which we won't actually be using because the camera ran does his editing

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:50.480
on a laptop so there's your quick installation guide uh technical support

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:53.280
and what appears to be a driver cd so now

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:59.840
let's get into the actual tr4m unit itself

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:01.680
it's uh pretty reasonably sized for a

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:05.360
four-bay enclosure and let's just get the packaging off

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:09.439
here so oh this is kind of nice looking okay so

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:14.240
basically we've got a shiny plastic finish both on the front and on all

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

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

00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:27.360
esata interface you've got a switch here to switch between 115 volt or 230 volts

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.360
so make sure you've got the right one enabled before you power this baby up

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:34.159
there's your power input and then an on and off switch

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.759
on the other side you've got some more ventilation holes so that's going to

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:42.000
draw air across your hard drives and then out the back of the unit and then

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

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.399
hard drives there's your host activity led your power led

00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:54.240
and then let's open this baby up nope sorry

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.840
so there you go you slide the drives in one by one

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

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

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

00:02:08.399 --> 00:02:15.920
i'm going to use my screwdriver to start them here there we go

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:19.520
and let's take off the cover and then we can see the very inner workings

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:24.560
themselves okay let's slide this back oh that's

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

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

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:41.440
it engages with the back plane right about there and then you use two

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:45.920
of the included thumb screws which i've gone and put somewhere else

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.319
to secure the drive on both sides at the front

00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:52.800
actually it's pretty straightforward it'd be nice to see hot swap but for the

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:56.560
price you can't really complain uh put it there anyway so thank you for

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:01.080
