1
00:00:00,919 --> 00:00:06,600
this unboxing is more of a lead into an NC Tech tips topic that I'm going to be

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:10,800
working on soon I'm going to actually be doing thanks to Hitachi actually big

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:16,039
thanks to Hitachi for providing us with the drives for this topic but we are

4
00:00:12,639 --> 00:00:18,520
finally after many many many requests

5
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:23,800
going to be doing an NC Tech tips on configuring raid so I'm going to be

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:26,960
using the Hitachi deskstar 3 and 1/2 in

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,439
drive this is a 7200 RPM drive with 32

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,399
Megs of cach I have three drives in one

9
00:00:30,439 --> 00:00:40,160
capacity so I'm going to be showing raid zero raid 1 as well as raid 5 okay this

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:42,760
is their HD 3100 series drive so this is

11
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:46,520
their latest series of drives and I'm going to go ahead and open the box now

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,039
this is I think the first time I've ever actually unboxed a retail box hard drive

13
00:00:49,199 --> 00:00:56,160
because mostly uh NCIX where I work being an online store we don't really

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:01:00,640
stock a whole lot of retail box hard drives because uh it's a lot easier to

15
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:06,400
just ship a drive than to ship a box so here is the packaging that it comes in

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,400
clever little plastic thing then we have

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,920
wow a hard drive installation guide I have never seen one of these before so

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:17,240
they show you how to connect the SATA power and SATA data you can record your

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,799
drive information in here if you want to

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:26,960
uh talks about hitachi's warranty so Hitachi has a okay it says a

21
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:29,000
onee 2ye threee or 5year so I don't know

22
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:31,880
which one it is for this particular drive but let's you know what let's see

23
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,119
if we can figure that out real quick hold on it couldn't be that complicated

24
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:40,000
this drive has a three-year warranty it is green eco-friendly technology for

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,280
industry-leading low power consumption okay so this is a an eco-friendly drive

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,399
as well you've got four hard drive screws for installing the drive in your

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:52,159
case you have a SATA cable for installing the drive into your

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,840
motherboard and then here is the other side of the little plastic clam shell

29
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:03,479
that holds the drive now Hitachi drives come in particularly shiny anti-st I

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:06,280
bags that are also moisture barrier bags

31
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:11,720
and theirs are completely sealed whereas Seagate just folds over a bag and then

32
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,160
puts a sticker on it as I recall so you

33
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:21,239
actually have to tear it open and you will find do not eat gel silica gel

34
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:24,080
don't eat it and then you will find a

35
00:02:21,239 --> 00:02:28,400
hard drive so here is the Hitachi 1 tab hard drive that we are unboxing today it

36
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:33,959
is also quite shiny you can see the label up close in HD if you'd like don't

37
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:38,360
forget to set your uh your YouTube to HD so you can see that label and all its

38
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:43,440
labeled glory and then you can flip it over and you can see the controller oh

39
00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:49,239
Controller made by LSI interesting didn't know that you can see

40
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:51,120
cash you can see some other stuff uh you

41
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:55,640
can see the SATA 2 interface so this is a SATA 2 drive so there's your power

42
00:02:53,319 --> 00:03:02,040
there's your data and it's a 3 and 1/2 in drive so it uses your standard 123 or

43
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,799
one two uh um configuration for mounting

44
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,440
it to your case so it's compatible with pretty much any case out there thank you

45
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,760
