WEBVTT 00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:15.759 Welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Gauntlet Node from Patriot. This is 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:20.000 and cameraman. Okay, cameraman insists that I tell you guys that he did not 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.800 understand what this product did based on the packaging and I sort of actually 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:29.760 see his point. So, it streams wireless music, videos, and pictures. Um, tablet 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:34.399 friendly up to two terabyte drive not included. Google Play available on the 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:38.000 app store unless until you get down to sort of the finer sort of details here. 00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:41.440 Up to eight simultaneous mobile devices. Tablet friendly. Up to two TB hard drive 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:45.920 included. Okay, these are all the same things we've seen already. Um, okay. I 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.840 kind of see cameraman's point. However, maybe when we get to the back, we will 00:00:47.559 --> 00:00:52.640 understand like more better. Uh, the Gauntlet Node offers seamless 00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:59.440 integration with tablets and other popular mobile devices for a truly superior portable storage solution. Aha! 00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:03.120 Portable storage for your tablet or your phone or other mobile device with the 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:06.080 ability to connect up to eight devices at a time and app support for iOS, 00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.000 Android, and Kindle Fire and plug-and-play compatibility with Windows-based operating systems. The 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:13.680 Gauntlet Node provides an extremely robust and easy to use personal cloud 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:17.040 for immediate access to stored media and data. With a built-in battery, the 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.840 Gauntlet Node will support up to 5.5 hours of continuous streaming for the 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:26.080 ultimate entertainment solution on the go. Wi-Fi N 150 megabit per second uh 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:28.240 web and WPAPS key security is supported 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:32.240 non-replaceable battery up to 5.5 hours of continuous streaming. So what is this 00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:36.479 thing? This is basically like a free agent Goflex satellite except that you 00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:42.479 don't actually have to buy a free agent gooflex satellite. It's also like uh 00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:44.560 Kingston's wide drive. So what you do is 00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:50.479 you you know get all your accessories and hoo-ha and ddads and whatnot going 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, 00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:01.200 which is here. You install it in here. 00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:07.479 You use a USB connection to drop whatever data you want onto the 00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:12.000 drive. That there. Okay. Oh, it's USB 3. Oh, awesome. 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:15.680 That's way better than the free agent Gooflex. Actually, that one's USB 2, 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 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:27.120 does this work? Oh, there we go. Oh, that was easy. It's just a sliding 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:30.800 thing. Okay. So, you throw your drive in here. You install your drive. All the uh 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. 00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:41.000 Wireless chipsets and all that are there. Data connections 00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:42.879 here. Uh you got your aha power USB 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:47.920 connection. So, that's how you charge it. And uh it goes in there like that. 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.239 You've also got uh just a dedicated power in. I guess that might also charge 00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:57.040 it. I don't know. Something probably charges it. Uh comes with an adapter for 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 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:07.040 find out how to charge this thing? All right. So, we figured it out. your Asian 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:14.400 powered devices AC adapter, which you can unplug like that, plugs in by USB to 00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:16.560 either the dedicated charging port or 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 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.800 about it. In fact, it's mindboggling to me that they even bothered to include a 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:29.519 DC in. But um yeah, I mean I I guess uh if you're 00:03:27.519 --> 00:03:31.920 transferring data from your notebook and you don't want to power the drive off 00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:35.280 your notebook and then you plug this into the wall next to your notebook, but 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 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 00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:50.560 farfetched. So, let's go ahead and take this apart. Uh there's your power. No, 00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:53.760 not power. Something else. Oh, that might check your battery. that battery 00:03:52.239 --> 00:04:00.000 life indicator. So, you got four little LEDs there. That's kind of neat. 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 00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:06.799 have to actually try the app before we can determine. So, so wait, stay tuned 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 00:04:09.519 --> 00:04:15.920 think that pretty much covers it. That's the Gauntlet Node from Patriot. Don't forget to subscribe for tech tips for 00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:20.079 unboxings, reviews, and other computer videos. And this goes in there.
