1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,520
today we're going to be unboxing the my book World Edition so this is a network

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:12,840
hard drive or NAS network attached storage this is a 2 terabyte drive so

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:17,720
it's a single 3 and 1/2 in 2 tbte Drive in there you can do backup and storage

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,160
for all your computers and it connects to a network router it's 30% more

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:25,359
efficient than standard systems so claims WD and let's see what else they

6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,880
have to say for themselves okay that's just showing the unit itself we're going

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,480
to check that out when we actually open the box all right so you've got

8
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:37,280
automatic backup automatic and continuous backup never mind automatic

9
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:40,120
backup share so you can add centralized storage for everyone to save and share

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,120
music photos videos and files on your home network okay it's a Nas so that's

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,760
what it does access so you can retrieve files from anywhere anytime even when

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,480
your computer is off okay that pretty much goes along with it being a NZ and

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,320
hey this is good you can play movies and music on your TV through your Xbox 360

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Playstation 3 or digital media adapter so here they have a little uh chart of

15
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:04,199
how your network will look when you have one of these so you got your router here

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:10,320
you got your computer here you got your wireless computers here including PC and

17
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:12,119
Mac there is your my book World Edition

18
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,920
and then here's a game console with a television and you can use the USB port

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,880
to add more storage so you can plug in like another Western Digital external

20
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:26,920
hard drive just directly into the my book World Edition and increase the

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:30,040
storage automatically cool all right so

22
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,119
a 2 tab gives you up to 880 hours of DVD

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:38,079
quality movie 500,000 MP3s or

24
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:43,040
571 th000 jpegs and those would be big jpegs too I

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,360
mean if you're storing small jpegs I mean that would be more like on the

26
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:51,920
order of millions all right here we go so oh easy

27
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:56,920
setup three simple steps plug the drive into your router insert the CD into your

28
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,520
computer use Easy Discovery tools to recognize the drive on your computers

29
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,920
okay well that's easy though let's open this thing up and have a look at

30
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:07,759
it it's

31
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,560
white you know what they say White's the New

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:24,400
Black actually Apple's moved on to aluminum so maybe white isn't cool

33
00:02:21,519 --> 00:02:30,280
anymore okay so here's a little manual about your WD product system view

34
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,800
connecting it okay how to use it with

35
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,280
leopard and tiger all right there is a

36
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:41,560
software installation CD you might want to actually use

37
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:45,159
that all right here's uh support

38
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:47,760
numbers and next we have uh did you know

39
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:51,760
you can update the firmware over the L great that's good to know all right

40
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:56,040
let's open this thing up so this is quite thig this could probably hold two

41
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:00,519
drives inside actually I might have been mistaken saying it was one 2 terab drive

42
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:07,360
it might be two 1 tab drives here's a power adapter all right fairly standard

43
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,560
thing next we have a an Ethernet cable

44
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,599
presumably is at least cat 5e so it'll run at gigabit speeds so throw those

45
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:19,239
back in there and let's have a look at the my book World Edition which is oh it's sealed yay I

46
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:24,920
get to break another seal I like that it really does add to the unboxing

47
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:30,040
experience the more unpackaging and unboxing you can do the better all right

48
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:36,120
well there's a very very shiny WD logo on the side right there is shiny shiny

49
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:38,640
white at the front you've got a little

50
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:42,680
uh not sure if that's a window or just a gray gray bar and then on the other side

51
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,840
you have another shiny WD logo on the bottom you've got four little rubberized

52
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:51,640
feet so it's meant to sit like this that's my keys okay so it's meant to sit

53
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:55,799
just like that it's not going to slip CU it has rubberized feet and on the back

54
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:01,280
very simply you've got a power switch a USB port and a gigabit Ethernet port

55
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:07,400
there's a little card reset as well as your power in okay now I'm going to try

56
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:13,360
something here and I don't know if this is going to

57
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,439
work so I'm not going to televise it so

58
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:21,919
to speak hold on going to try and get it open cuz

59
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:27,880
someone told me how to do it but I don't know if I'm doing it right here or

60
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:32,960
not I'm not doing it right okay forget it so inside we see one heart drive and

61
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,120
then lots of room for ventilation and other electronics so I don't know I

62
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,479
don't know how well you can see this but the drive is right here there's lots of

63
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:46,120
electronics which are powering the back plane here at the I/O and then uh yep

64
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:50,120
all of these are just straight through vents where you can completely see the

65
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,840
hard drive so it is passively cooled that means that if it sits a little bit

66
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:57,199
up off the table which it will because of these feet you're going to have air

67
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,600
just naturally uh flowing down from the bottom and then up through the top and

68
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:04,199
in from the back because of the heat generated by the components inside so

69
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:12,039
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the My Book World Edition 2 terabyte

70
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:12,039
Network hard drive from Western Digital
