00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:12,759
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,599
as well as hyperx so seate SL Le demo

4
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:19,240
might seem like an odd place to kick off our CES coverage but they've got some

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:24,599
stuff inside that looks pretty cool it all starts here though with their living

6
00:00:22,279 --> 00:00:28,840
logo thing actually that's exactly what they call it sweet I got it right so a

7
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:33,760
living logo is their like patented idea of having their their new corporate logo

8
00:00:31,759 --> 00:00:40,079
and I'm G to try and do this there we go there it is as like a a

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,920
living visualization of the data from a

10
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:45,640
particular feed let's say Instagram Twitter New York Times you punch it to

11
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:49,440
change ah I just changed over to Twitter so if I tweet a picture of my bum in

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,399
theory I can get it to show up on that screen if I use the right hashtag but

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:58,960
they've asked me very nicely not to do that so Cates marketing for this is G I

14
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:01,800
re it seven out of seven I think or something along those lines it would

15
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:07,360
have sounded a lot better if this was an 8 mm thick drive but it is unfortunately

16
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:13,439
7 mm thick now what they've done to achieve this is they've gone with a 5mm

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:17,080
design drive so that's a 500 GB capacity

18
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:20,119
and then by using a very unique 1 mil

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,799
thick on either side steel enclosure

20
00:01:20,119 --> 00:01:26,000
they've managed to achieve the same drop rating resistance and all that stuff

21
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:29,439
they told me I could drop it I mean I'm sure you wouldn't want to do that on a

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,720
drive anymore than you absolutely have to as their regular drives which are

23
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:40,079
typically anywhere from twice as thick or even more what's really cool is that

24
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,680
for contrast they've actually got right next to it so here's the 5mm drive that

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:52,880
powers this bad boy this is a 35 year old drive that is 5 megabytes

26
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:56,240
that is obviously a lot thicker than 5

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,560
mm thick it's powered by a standard four

28
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:02,000
pin Molex goes to show you that power connector has been around for a while

29
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:08,239
but other than that this thing is completely alien look technology to me

30
00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:14,680
and this was manufactured for IBM way back 35 years ago I mean some of this

31
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:16,720
stuff is hand done there's hand soldered

32
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:20,080
wires on the bottom of this drive pretty freaking cool I geeked out over this one

33
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:23,400
over here we've got some consumer and prosumer stuff so first up is the

34
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,560
personal cloud which is available in a 1bay or 2ay configuration and the

35
00:02:25,959 --> 00:02:33,080
objective here is something that I've seen attempted many times but rarely

36
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,800
with much success so basically the idea is you've got either one or two drives

37
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:40,080
the Dual drive one will automatically be configured in raid one for your

38
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,200
protection and what it'll do is it'll allow you to select folders and have

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,560
those ones back up to a cloud-based storage it'll allow you to stream to

40
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:52,560
something like a Roku for example or a chomecast so you can manage all your

41
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,440
media on your TV in that regard and the

42
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:59,120
last one is that it actually backs up all of your PCS and even things like

43
00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:02,480
phones and thumb drives if you configure it all within their app of course I

44
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:07,000
haven't tested any of this and maybe seate will uh give us a chance to check

45
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:10,959
it out because it sounds pretty good the other consumer thing that we've got here

46
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,599
is an update to their previous generation wireless streaming drives

47
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,159
that's not so much U newer and faster and more amazing but definitely more

48
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:25,159
affordable so this is simply named the Seagate Wireless and uh Lord forbid they

49
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:29,799
ever release anything else that's ever Wireless ever again because that's going to get really confusing but pretty much

50
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:33,080
it streams to three devices it's got 500 gigs of storage and it's got a very

51
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:37,439
friendly look to it lasts for about 6 to8 hours on battery according to the

52
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:41,920
folks here now the next one we've got is actually more of a product update than

53
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:46,760
strictly speaking a whole new idea the ly rugged raid which is more of an

54
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,159
update to their previous single Drive product and I guess I kind of gave away

55
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,959
what exactly they changed about it this is a dual Drive Rugged Drive version

56
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:58,640
it's not exactly strictly speaking consumer this is more for your prosumers

57
00:03:57,079 --> 00:04:03,760
but it's got a couple of cool features so aside from having two hard drives

58
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:06,239
inside it's got Thunderbolt or USB 3 and

59
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,879
Thunderbolt requires no auxiliary power it is completely bus powered in order to

60
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:14,519
run it off a Thunderbolt although for USB 3 you will need an additional power

61
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:18,000
adapter and it's got a hardware RAID controller inside which means you can

62
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,680
configure it in raid zero or Raid one although I'd say if you're so concerned

63
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,800
about your data that you're buying like you know an inch and a half thick rubber

64
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:31,479
enclosure for it you should probably be running raid one so it stays nice and

65
00:04:28,919 --> 00:04:37,080
safe and here's the star of the show this is the L mirror and it kind of

66
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:41,560
breaks the mold a little bit when I say mirror I don't mean redundancy and it's

67
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:45,400
not particularly thin and it's not particularly rugged like the other stuff

68
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:49,919
they were showing off this one is all about style so it's not targeted at me

69
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:56,320
and I wouldn't be able to with a straight face say thanks to the $600

70
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:58,080
that L slipped into my back pocket I

71
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,320
endorse this drive for me personally this is not going to be the ticket

72
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,360
because I'm more about looking at the cost per dollar part of the equation as

73
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:11,280
opposed to the does this thing look amazing on my desk even the Box itself

74
00:05:08,039 --> 00:05:13,199
like opens in this unique way so it's

75
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:18,479
not really targeted at me because it's a $280 1 tab drive but what it is is it

76
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:22,800
something that feels a little bit different than a typical hard drive

77
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,160
that's what they were going for and I'd say mission accomplished you guys but

78
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,840
one thing I certainly appreciate is that even though it's a shiny piece of

79
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:33,199
technology they've got Gorilla Glass on so it should be slightly more

80
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:37,280
fingerprint resistant than most shiny things although that doesn't mean that

81
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:43,560
they don't include a cleaning cloth in the box and doesn't mean they don't want to have one here handy at the kiosk to

82
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,720
keep these things all shined up so my

83
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:50,560
lovely assistant here from ly has been showing us around to all the you know be

84
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:55,600
drives and external drives and uh suddenly I I blurt it out well can you

85
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:59,000
show me your racks and she kind of

86
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:00,479
goes what I'm sorry if I made you really

87
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,479
uncomfortable because what I actually meant was these racks yes over here this

88
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:10,360
is the stuff that I really geek out over they've got the business storage forb

89
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,759
rack mount Nas so this is I mean it's pretty self-explanatory I told them they

90
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:19,120
should have an easier name for it they should call it like the the Tiger Claw or something like that but basically

91
00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:24,240
it's uh a forb business Nas and they've got one down here that I personally am

92
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:28,960
interested in for the first time as far as anything Thunderbolt goes because I'm

93
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:34,440
more of a of a 10 gigabit Ethernet kind of guy but this right here is the Lei 8

94
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:39,680
big rack Thunderbolt 2 thing so basically what you can do is it's eight

95
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,520
drives per one U you go ahead and rack

96
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,919
mount these and then you can actually daisy chain up to six of them together

97
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:49,960
which is going to give you 48 drives potentially on a single pooled

98
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:55,240
array and then what you can actually do is use a little Mac Mini as a gigabit

99
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:59,080
Ethernet uh Network share for it so it's not just limited to Thunderbolt access

100
00:06:57,599 --> 00:07:04,360
you can also actually share it over the network it's still not quite what I'd

101
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:06,960
want I would like to see every shared

102
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,120
resource have 10 GB connectivity to every computer but it is a huge step in

103
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:16,680
the right direction and if you're looking for something that is just Wicked Crazy Stupid Fast this is pretty

104
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:21,720
much it they had files copying on here at 3 gigabytes per second which is going

105
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:26,479
to be enough not just for an individual user not just five users but you could

106
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:31,360
run many many users off an array like that at a time so I think that pretty

107
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,960
much WS it up for Seagate and ly thank you very much for being a good sport

108
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:39,240
about that that whole business there I'm very sorry thanks for coming Lin us so I

109
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:43,680
just want to take a moment now to thank our sponsors for allowing us to be here

110
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,360
at the show it's Phantom glass so the ultimate protector for your phone I

111
00:07:45,159 --> 00:07:49,639
should probably hold up my phone when I do this Gorilla Glass 3 protectors that

112
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,360
go on over your phone they've got a nano coating so you'll have absolutely no bubbles guaranteed every time as well as

113
00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,280
hyperx make sure you check out the hyperx YouTube channel they've got a lot of great gaming content on there you

videos come into your feed just like that it's like how the internet

118
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,520
works it's a bit of a simplistic explanation
