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

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:12.840
hard drive or NAS network attached storage this is a 2 terabyte drive so

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

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:21.160
for all your computers and it connects to a network router it's 30% more

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:25.359
efficient than standard systems so claims WD and let's see what else they

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.880
have to say for themselves okay that's just showing the unit itself we're going

00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:32.480
to check that out when we actually open the box all right so you've got

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:37.280
automatic backup automatic and continuous backup never mind automatic

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.120
backup share so you can add centralized storage for everyone to save and share

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

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.760
what it does access so you can retrieve files from anywhere anytime even when

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:51.480
your computer is off okay that pretty much goes along with it being a NZ and

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

00:00:53.800 --> 00:01:00.480
Playstation 3 or digital media adapter so here they have a little uh chart of

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

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:10.320
you got your computer here you got your wireless computers here including PC and

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:12.119
Mac there is your my book World Edition

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

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:20.880
to add more storage so you can plug in like another Western Digital external

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:26.920
hard drive just directly into the my book World Edition and increase the

00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:30.040
storage automatically cool all right so

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.119
a 2 tab gives you up to 880 hours of DVD

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:38.079
quality movie 500,000 MP3s or

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:43.040
571 th000 jpegs and those would be big jpegs too I

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:46.360
mean if you're storing small jpegs I mean that would be more like on the

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:51.920
order of millions all right here we go so oh easy

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:56.920
setup three simple steps plug the drive into your router insert the CD into your

00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:00.520
computer use Easy Discovery tools to recognize the drive on your computers

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

00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.759
it it's

00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:12.560
white you know what they say White's the New

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:24.400
Black actually Apple's moved on to aluminum so maybe white isn't cool

00:02:21.519 --> 00:02:30.280
anymore okay so here's a little manual about your WD product system view

00:02:27.160 --> 00:02:33.800
connecting it okay how to use it with

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:36.280
leopard and tiger all right there is a

00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:41.560
software installation CD you might want to actually use

00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:45.159
that all right here's uh support

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:47.760
numbers and next we have uh did you know

00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:51.760
you can update the firmware over the L great that's good to know all right

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.040
let's open this thing up so this is quite thig this could probably hold two

00:02:53.760 --> 00:03:00.519
drives inside actually I might have been mistaken saying it was one 2 terab drive

00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:07.360
it might be two 1 tab drives here's a power adapter all right fairly standard

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:09.560
thing next we have a an Ethernet cable

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.599
presumably is at least cat 5e so it'll run at gigabit speeds so throw those

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

00:03:17.480 --> 00:03:24.920
get to break another seal I like that it really does add to the unboxing

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:30.040
experience the more unpackaging and unboxing you can do the better all right

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

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:38.640
white at the front you've got a little

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

00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.840
you have another shiny WD logo on the bottom you've got four little rubberized

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

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

00:03:53.519 --> 00:04:01.280
very simply you've got a power switch a USB port and a gigabit Ethernet port

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

00:04:04.920 --> 00:04:13.360
something here and I don't know if this is going to

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:14.439
work so I'm not going to televise it so

00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:21.919
to speak hold on going to try and get it open cuz

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

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

00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:36.120
then lots of room for ventilation and other electronics so I don't know I

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

00:04:37.960 --> 00:04:46.120
electronics which are powering the back plane here at the I/O and then uh yep

00:04:44.280 --> 00:04:50.120
all of these are just straight through vents where you can completely see the

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:52.840
hard drive so it is passively cooled that means that if it sits a little bit

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

00:04:54.600 --> 00:05:00.600
just naturally uh flowing down from the bottom and then up through the top and

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:04.199
in from the back because of the heat generated by the components inside so

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:12.039
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the My Book World Edition 2 terabyte

00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:12.039
Network hard drive from Western Digital
