okay so while for this episode I am down one cameraman I am up one remote so I
will actually be able to control the camera with this remote check it out I
can even do this oo very fancy anyway today I'm going to
be unboxing and having a quick look at the antech easy SATA so what the easy
SATA is is it's a 5 and 1/4 inch Drive Bay adapter and what you can do is you
can take your 5 and a qu inch Drive Bay and turn it into a 3 and 1/2 inch hot
swap Bay that uses guess which interface
SATA and what an Tech's claiming is also
that it's very very easy to use and ow
ow the packaging has shattered so we're
off to a bit of a rough start here ow
okay anyway let's have a look at what is included as far as accessories so here
when you open up the box you find the easy SATA nestled into the packaging
there okay so from the front it looks kind of like
that yeah it's kind of hard to do this actually without a cameraman but what
can you do so there is no documentation
in here whatsoever all we have inside is
a little a little piece of tape holding eight screws down so these are 5 and 1/4
in Bay screws and then we have the easy s itself so I guess the assumption is
that this thing is so easy that you don't even need any instructions on how
to use it so why don't we have a look at the side of the unit first so there is
your four mounting holes on either side
you're going to use that to mount it in a 5 and 1/4 in Drive Bay okay so let's
have a look at the back so first of all we have the SATA power and SATA data
connector and then if we flip it around just a little bit for you here you can
see on the inside that is where the drive is actually going to interface
with but we also have another SATA cable at the back so this one comes out of
this one side here and then terminates into a regular SATA cable that can plug
into your motherboard so that is actually for an additional ESAT port on
the front of the unit so you can see the ESAT Port right here and you can see the
little door for a hard drive right there here's your eject button so basically
what antec wants you to do is be able to add hot swap Bays to the front of your
computer case without any prior support and without any hassle so as long as
your motherboard supports ahci which is native SATA operation then you should be
able to even while your computer's on pop in or pull out a hard drive and have
instant access access to your archived data because the reality of it is right
now hard drives are cheaper than Blu-ray and because they're so big and so cheap
these days they're way more practical than trying to back up your data on DVDs
so thank you for checking out my video blog and let's see if this thing actually works
