1 00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:15,759 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Gauntlet Node from Patriot. This is 2 00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:20,000 and cameraman. Okay, cameraman insists that I tell you guys that he did not 3 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:24,800 understand what this product did based on the packaging and I sort of actually 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,760 see his point. So, it streams wireless music, videos, and pictures. Um, tablet 5 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:34,399 friendly up to two terabyte drive not included. Google Play available on the 6 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,000 app store unless until you get down to sort of the finer sort of details here. 7 00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:41,440 Up to eight simultaneous mobile devices. Tablet friendly. Up to two TB hard drive 8 00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:45,920 included. Okay, these are all the same things we've seen already. Um, okay. I 9 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,840 kind of see cameraman's point. However, maybe when we get to the back, we will 10 00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:52,640 understand like more better. Uh, the Gauntlet Node offers seamless 11 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:59,440 integration with tablets and other popular mobile devices for a truly superior portable storage solution. Aha! 12 00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:03,120 Portable storage for your tablet or your phone or other mobile device with the 13 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,080 ability to connect up to eight devices at a time and app support for iOS, 14 00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:10,000 Android, and Kindle Fire and plug-and-play compatibility with Windows-based operating systems. The 15 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,680 Gauntlet Node provides an extremely robust and easy to use personal cloud 16 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,040 for immediate access to stored media and data. With a built-in battery, the 17 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,840 Gauntlet Node will support up to 5.5 hours of continuous streaming for the 18 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:26,080 ultimate entertainment solution on the go.

So what is this 21 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,479 thing? This is basically like a free agent Goflex satellite except that you 22 00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:42,479 don't actually have to buy a free agent gooflex satellite. It's also like uh 23 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:44,560 Kingston's wide drive. So what you do is 24 00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:50,479 you you know get all your accessories and hoo-ha and ddads and whatnot going 25 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:58,240 on here. So, you got all your components and you take your 2 and 1/2 in drive, 26 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:01,200 which is here. You install it in here. 27 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:07,479 You use a USB connection to drop whatever data you want onto the 28 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:12,000 drive. That there. Okay. Oh, it's USB 3. Oh, awesome. 29 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,680 That's way better than the free agent Gooflex. Actually, that one's USB 2, 30 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:23,040 which makes it like slow and inconvenient to actually load things on it. So, it comes uh hold on. See, how 31 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,120 does this work? Oh, there we go. Oh, that was easy. It's just a sliding 32 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,800 thing. Okay. So, you throw your drive in here. You install your drive. All the uh 33 00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:35,040 the battery. See the battery? You can feel where the battery is cuz it weighs a lot on this side. Batteries here. 34 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:41,000 Wireless chipsets and all that are there. Data connections 35 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,879 here. Uh you got your aha power USB 36 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:47,920 connection. So, that's how you charge it. And uh it goes in there like that. 37 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:52,239 You've also got uh just a dedicated power in. I guess that might also charge 38 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,040 it. I don't know. Something probably charges it. Uh comes with an adapter for 39 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,360 USB. So you Yeah. Okay. It looks like you can You know what? Why don't we just 40 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:07,040 find out how to charge this thing? All right. So, we figured it out. your Asian 41 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:14,400 powered devices AC adapter, which you can unplug like that, plugs in by USB to 42 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:16,560 either the dedicated charging port or 43 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,080 the USB 3 port, and it will charge it either way. So, don't worry too much 44 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,800 about it. In fact, it's mindboggling to me that they even bothered to include a 45 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:29,519 DC in. But um yeah, I mean I I guess uh if you're 46 00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:31,920 transferring data from your notebook and you don't want to power the drive off 47 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:35,280 your notebook and then you plug this into the wall next to your notebook, but 48 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,959 then that's not a very mobile solution. If you're using a notebook on a battery, you probably don't have um a wall 49 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,599 charger nearby. So, okay. Okay. Cameraman's shaking his head at me because apparently that's pretty 50 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:50,560 farfetched. So, let's go ahead and take this apart. Uh there's your power. No, 51 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,760 not power. Something else. Oh, that might check your battery. that battery 52 00:03:52,239 --> 00:04:00,000 life indicator. So, you got four little LEDs there. That's kind of neat. 53 00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:02,879 Okay, so there you have it. 5 and a half hours of battery life. We're going to 54 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,799 have to actually try the app before we can determine. So, so wait, stay tuned 55 00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:10,799 for our full NCX tech tips on this one where we actually try it out. And uh I 56 00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:15,920 think that pretty much covers it. That's the Gauntlet Node from Patriot.
