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

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:10.800
working on soon I'm going to actually be doing thanks to Hitachi actually big

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:16.039
thanks to Hitachi for providing us with the drives for this topic but we are

00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:18.520
finally after many many many requests

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

00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.960
using the Hitachi deskstar 3 and 1/2 in

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:30.439
drive this is a 7200 RPM drive with 32

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:32.399
Megs of cach I have three drives in one

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

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:42.760
is their HD 3100 series drive so this is

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

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

00:00:49.199 --> 00:00:56.160
because mostly uh NCIX where I work being an online store we don't really

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

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

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.400
clever little plastic thing then we have

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.920
wow a hard drive installation guide I have never seen one of these before so

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:17.240
they show you how to connect the SATA power and SATA data you can record your

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.799
drive information in here if you want to

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:26.960
uh talks about hitachi's warranty so Hitachi has a okay it says a

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.000
onee 2ye threee or 5year so I don't know

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

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:36.119
if we can figure that out real quick hold on it couldn't be that complicated

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:40.000
this drive has a three-year warranty it is green eco-friendly technology for

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.280
industry-leading low power consumption okay so this is a an eco-friendly drive

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:48.399
as well you've got four hard drive screws for installing the drive in your

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:52.159
case you have a SATA cable for installing the drive into your

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.840
motherboard and then here is the other side of the little plastic clam shell

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:03.479
that holds the drive now Hitachi drives come in particularly shiny anti-st I

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:06.280
bags that are also moisture barrier bags

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:11.720
and theirs are completely sealed whereas Seagate just folds over a bag and then

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:14.160
puts a sticker on it as I recall so you

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:21.239
actually have to tear it open and you will find do not eat gel silica gel

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:24.080
don't eat it and then you will find a

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

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

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

00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:43.440
labeled glory and then you can flip it over and you can see the controller oh

00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:49.239
Controller made by LSI interesting didn't know that you can see

00:02:45.720 --> 00:02:51.120
cash you can see some other stuff uh you

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

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

00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:03.799
one two uh um configuration for mounting

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

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:11.760

00:03:13.799 --> 00:03:20.280
