So, it actually has a modular interface and the bridge chip and cable","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":36.16,"end_s":42.0,"text":"is all part of one adapter. So, here why","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":39.68,"end_s":47.68,"text":"don't we take the ESAT one for example and let's open this up really quick. So,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":44.559,"end_s":50.64,"text":"oh, I sure wish I had a knife today, but","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":47.68,"end_s":54.879,"text":"I appear to not have one. So, what I'll be doing is I'll just be kind of like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":52.239,"end_s":60.32,"text":"shredding the boxes open because that is how I roll. So, let's just open that up.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":57.76,"end_s":65.04,"text":"There we go. So, this is the ESATA one, and it's advertised right here as up to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":62.48,"end_s":70.4,"text":"six times faster than USB 2. So, this is for Glex and Goflex Pro ultra portable","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":67.76,"end_s":74.799,"text":"drives. Okay. So, right here, this is what it looks like. This is a powered","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":72.88,"end_s":79.28,"text":"ESATA port, I believe. Yep. This is a powered ESATA port. So, as long as you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":76.479,"end_s":83.04,"text":"have powered ESATA, then all you do is you plug this into the back of the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":81.04,"end_s":86.479,"text":"drive. So, it's got a SATA interface right there. Plugs in, clips in with the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":84.799,"end_s":91.6,"text":"clips right here. And then you've got an ESATA cable and that's it. So the whole","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":88.88,"end_s":95.68,"text":"thing is is all attached as one unit rather than having a hard drive","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":93.2,"end_s":98.88,"text":"enclosure and then a bunch of interfaces on the back that you plug cables into.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":97.36,"end_s":102.88,"text":"So this way you'll never lose the cable, I guess, is one benefit. Okay, so why","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":100.96,"end_s":110.399,"text":"don't we do the next one? This is USB 3.0. So this is a USB 3.0 to SATA","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":107.2,"end_s":112.96,"text":"adapter and bridge chip. So the chip is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":110.399,"end_s":116.64,"text":"actually inside here. So, it's inside the bottom of this and then you just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":114.56,"end_s":121.84,"text":"plug in your SATA and then it goes right to a USB 3 port. Now, USB 3 actually","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":119.92,"end_s":125.68,"text":"provides a substantial amount more power than USB 2 did. So, it should be no","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":123.92,"end_s":130.72,"text":"problem to power a 2 and 1/2 in drive off a USB 3 port. I believe it's what is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":129.2,"end_s":134.8,"text":"it? I think it's three times the power of USB 2, although I could be wrong. I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":132.8,"end_s":141.04,"text":"could be mistaken. The next one we have is the USB 3.0 kit. So, what makes it a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":138.319,"end_s":147.12,"text":"kit? It's an upgrade cable kit. includes everything you need to upgrade your","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":142.879,"end_s":149.28,"text":"laptop to USB 3. So, this is not only","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":147.12,"end_s":152.879,"text":"the H. Okay, why don't we see what this is? So, first of all, you've got the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":151.04,"end_s":157.599,"text":"same cable we had last time. So, you got a USB 3 end there, and then you have a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":155.76,"end_s":163.04,"text":"SATA interface here, both power and data. And then in the back, you have a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":161.44,"end_s":168.08,"text":"manual. You know, they probably all come with manuals. These talk about your warranty. It's in about 25 different","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":166.08,"end_s":172.0,"text":"languages. Then you've got a quick start guide. Okay. So, there's an express card","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":170.56,"end_s":175.84,"text":"in here somewhere. Where is it? Oh, here it is. So, in the back of the plastic","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":174.319,"end_s":180.0,"text":"tray, there's an express card for your laptop.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":177.92,"end_s":185.84,"text":"So, you can upgrade your laptop to USB 3.0 and then you can plug it in.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":184.319,"end_s":191.68,"text":"Oh, okay. This is interesting. Okay, so the laptop will actually need external","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":188.56,"end_s":194.959,"text":"power from a USB port and then you will","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":191.68,"end_s":197.76,"text":"use that as well as the power coming","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":194.959,"end_s":201.84,"text":"from the Express Card port. So you plug Okay, here here's how this works. You","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":199.36,"end_s":205.76,"text":"plug this in here. You get one USB 3 port. This plugs into a USB 2 port. So","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":204.239,"end_s":210.879,"text":"you're taking power here and you're taking power here. And that's what's going to run that port. So that would be","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":209.2,"end_s":216.239,"text":"a good one if your laptop does not already support USB3, which most of them","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":213.12,"end_s":218.64,"text":"out there do not right now. So then last","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":216.239,"end_s":225.04,"text":"but not least for interfaces, we have FireWire 800. And I actually don't know","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":221.28,"end_s":227.44,"text":"if FireWire 800 provides um decent","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":225.04,"end_s":232.56,"text":"power, but they're advertising FireWire 800 as up to two times faster than USB","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":229.84,"end_s":237.519,"text":"2.0. And it looks like they've managed to find a way to make FireWire 800","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":234.799,"end_s":242.4,"text":"deliver power for the drive because I don't see any external power adapter.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":240.159,"end_s":248.319,"text":"All right, there we finally did it. We unboxed all of the different","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":245.28,"end_s":250.48,"text":"adapters that you can have. Yeah, see I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":248.319,"end_s":255.12,"text":"dropped one. So, they all are identical on this end. They are all just SATA","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":252.959,"end_s":260.079,"text":"power, SATA data. And then at the other end, we have a couple USB 3.0. We've got","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":257.84,"end_s":264.24,"text":"an ESATA, and we have a FireWire 800. So, these are all much faster than USB","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":262.079,"end_s":268.0,"text":"2.0. But that doesn't mean that if you buy the Gooflex that you're just um","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":266.4,"end_s":272.56,"text":"stuck with no way to plug it in. It actually comes with a USB 2.0 adapter.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":271.12,"end_s":276.56,"text":"So, that means you can buy it for the price of a regular USB 2.0 no drive, but","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":274.96,"end_s":280.88,"text":"if you have higherend hardware that allows you to take advantage of uh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":278.96,"end_s":284.24,"text":"faster transfer speeds, then you just plug it in.

So, it's USB","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":286.56,"end_s":292.72,"text":"3.0 upgradeable. They're calling it the world's most upgradable hard drive.

Uh, I think","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":316.479,"end_s":323.68,"text":"that pretty much covers everything here. Upgrades your digital life, add-on","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":321.12,"end_s":330.16,"text":"accessories sold separately. Okay. Okay. So, let's get it open then","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":326.32,"end_s":333.6,"text":"and have a look at what is inside.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":330.16,"end_s":335.6,"text":"So, this is the Free Agent Gorlex. I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":333.6,"end_s":338.8,"text":"don't think No, this isn't the Pro one. So, I don't actually know what the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":336.96,"end_s":342.4,"text":"difference is between the Pro one and the not Pro one. And apparently, oh, I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":340.8,"end_s":347.6,"text":"thought the cameraman was reaching for a snack there, but it turns out that that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":344.56,"end_s":350.32,"text":"is not what is going on. Okay, so it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":347.6,"end_s":355.199,"text":"comes wrapped in plastic and it's very, very shiny. So that's uh a shiny","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":353.199,"end_s":359.12,"text":"enclosure. So what I'm guessing, and this is a pretty safe guess, is that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":357.039,"end_s":363.28,"text":"there are actually two 2 and 1/2 in drives inside here. Two 500 gig drives.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":361.68,"end_s":367.28,"text":"And that's what gives you the 1 TBTE capacity. You got a Seagate logo here.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":365.68,"end_s":372.24,"text":"And then the sides are just kind of a standard uh shiny plastic. And then on","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":370.56,"end_s":375.12,"text":"the bottom, it's matte. So that way when you actually put it down on the desk,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":373.68,"end_s":379.759,"text":"which is how you're likely going to use it, you're not going to scratch it up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":376.8,"end_s":383.52,"text":"too bad. as long as you're careful to um protect the top, which is probably","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":381.919,"end_s":387.039,"text":"pretty easy to scratch and a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but what can you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":385.039,"end_s":391.36,"text":"really do? So, here we are. Here's our USB 2.0","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":389.52,"end_s":396.72,"text":"interface cable. And this is going to show us how to plug in the modular","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":394.0,"end_s":400.88,"text":"interface cable. So, just take the plastic covering off here so that I can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":398.88,"end_s":406.4,"text":"show it to you in its shiny plastic glory. It's actually feels quite well","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":403.28,"end_s":409.919,"text":"built. It's quite um like it feels solid","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":406.4,"end_s":411.36,"text":"without feeling overly heavy and yeah,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":409.919,"end_s":418.16,"text":"it doesn't move around or anything. So, that's a good sign. So, you just plug that in like that and then it looks like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":415.44,"end_s":423.12,"text":"that. There's your USB 2.0 Oh, that's interesting. Hold on. Oh, that's weird.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":420.88,"end_s":429.12,"text":"None of the other ones um actually have a removable cable, but the USB 2.0 one","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":426.24,"end_s":432.72,"text":"does. So, there you go. For whatever reason, uh let me just double check","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":431.12,"end_s":436.319,"text":"that. Yeah, none of the other ones have that, but this one does. So, why don't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":434.56,"end_s":440.72,"text":"we just sort of plug it in and see if it works.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":437.84,"end_s":448.039,"text":"Plug it into my computer here. Take it one step further than I normally do in","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":442.8,"end_s":448.039,"text":"an unboxing. Put that on the ground.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":450.0,"end_s":455.759,"text":"There we go. It works. Excellent. So,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":453.039,"end_s":460.639,"text":"now that I have absolutely no room on my desk to move my mouse, I will attempt to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":458.4,"end_s":465.759,"text":"use my computer. So, it comes with a bunch of stuff on it. It comes with a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":462.0,"end_s":467.919,"text":"USB 3.0 PC card adapter driver folder.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":465.759,"end_s":474.8,"text":"It comes with a Seagate folder, which is registration as well as the Seagate","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":469.759,"end_s":476.8,"text":"dashboard.

So, why don't we run setup and see","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":486.879,"end_s":492.96,"text":"what happens? Feel free to tune out at any time. The unboxing is over. Thank you for watching my unboxing. Don't","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":491.12,"end_s":497.44,"text":"forget to subscribe and all that good stuff. But then um beyond that, I guess","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":495.36,"end_s":502.639,"text":"we can also register our product or we can not do that. Uh never register this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":499.84,"end_s":508.0,"text":"drive. And then oh okay, it wants to find Seagate dashboard.exe.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":506.16,"end_s":514.24,"text":"Okay. So, what I think I've managed to do is screw it up already within about 2","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":512.0,"end_s":518.64,"text":"seconds of plugging it into my computer, which is a big part of the reason I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":515.76,"end_s":525.6,"text":"often do not try to use the product on camera because usually I screw it up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":523.599,"end_s":528.0,"text":"and Okay, I plugged it back in.

I've never seen anything like this. It involves five boxes for one thing. And this is the Seagate Free Agent Gooflex ultra portable drive. Now when this was first explained to me, um it was basically said that it's a an external hard drive that doesn't come with any cables. And I went, well, that's not really very innovative, is it? But it's actually a little bit different from that. What it is is it's an external hard drive that doesn't have an interface. So, it actually has a modular interface and the bridge chip and cable is all part of one adapter. So, here why don't we take the ESAT one for example and let's open this up really quick. So, oh, I sure wish I had a knife today, but I appear to not have one. So, what I'll be doing is I'll just be kind of like shredding the boxes open because that is how I roll. So, let's just open that up. There we go. So, this is the ESATA one, and it's advertised right here as up to six times faster than USB 2. So, this is for Glex and Goflex Pro ultra portable drives. Okay. So, right here, this is what it looks like. This is a powered ESATA port, I believe. Yep. This is a powered ESATA port. So, as long as you have powered ESATA, then all you do is you plug this into the back of the drive. So, it's got a SATA interface right there. Plugs in, clips in with the clips right here. And then you've got an ESATA cable and that's it. So the whole thing is is all attached as one unit rather than having a hard drive enclosure and then a bunch of interfaces on the back that you plug cables into. So this way you'll never lose the cable, I guess, is one benefit. Okay, so why don't we do the next one? This is USB 3.0. So this is a USB 3.0 to SATA adapter and bridge chip. So the chip is actually inside here. So, it's inside the bottom of this and then you just plug in your SATA and then it goes right to a USB 3 port. Now, USB 3 actually provides a substantial amount more power than USB 2 did. So, it should be no problem to power a 2 and 1/2 in drive off a USB 3 port. I believe it's what is it? I think it's three times the power of USB 2, although I could be wrong. I could be mistaken. The next one we have is the USB 3.0 kit. So, what makes it a kit? It's an upgrade cable kit. includes everything you need to upgrade your laptop to USB 3. So, this is not only the H. Okay, why don't we see what this is? So, first of all, you've got the same cable we had last time. So, you got a USB 3 end there, and then you have a SATA interface here, both power and data. And then in the back, you have a manual. You know, they probably all come with manuals. These talk about your warranty. It's in about 25 different languages. Then you've got a quick start guide. Okay. So, there's an express card in here somewhere. Where is it? Oh, here it is. So, in the back of the plastic tray, there's an express card for your laptop. So, you can upgrade your laptop to USB 3.0 and then you can plug it in. Oh, okay. This is interesting. Okay, so the laptop will actually need external power from a USB port and then you will use that as well as the power coming from the Express Card port. So you plug Okay, here here's how this works. You plug this in here. You get one USB 3 port. This plugs into a USB 2 port. So you're taking power here and you're taking power here. And that's what's going to run that port. So that would be a good one if your laptop does not already support USB3, which most of them out there do not right now. So then last but not least for interfaces, we have FireWire 800. And I actually don't know if FireWire 800 provides um decent power, but they're advertising FireWire 800 as up to two times faster than USB 2.0. And it looks like they've managed to find a way to make FireWire 800 deliver power for the drive because I don't see any external power adapter. All right, there we finally did it. We unboxed all of the different adapters that you can have. Yeah, see I dropped one. So, they all are identical on this end. They are all just SATA power, SATA data. And then at the other end, we have a couple USB 3.0. We've got an ESATA, and we have a FireWire 800. So, these are all much faster than USB 2.0. But that doesn't mean that if you buy the Gooflex that you're just um stuck with no way to plug it in. It actually comes with a USB 2.0 adapter. So, that means you can buy it for the price of a regular USB 2.0 no drive, but if you have higherend hardware that allows you to take advantage of uh faster transfer speeds, then you just plug it in. So, this is a 1 TBTE drive. Actually, you know what? Let's spend a little bit of time on this. So, it's USB 3.0 upgradeable. They're calling it the world's most upgradable hard drive. It comes with easy backup software as well as secure data encryption. Ultra portable. It's 1 TBTE USB 2.0. It's plug-and-play. Inside the box, you've got the GOX ultra portable drive backup with encryption software preloaded NTFS driver for Mac preloaded on the drive. You have the USB 2.0 interface adapter as well as an 18-in USB 2.0 cable, a quick start guide, and a 2-year limited warranty. Uh, I think that pretty much covers everything here. Upgrades your digital life, add-on accessories sold separately. Okay. Okay. So, let's get it open then and have a look at what is inside. So, this is the Free Agent Gorlex. I don't think No, this isn't the Pro one. So, I don't actually know what the difference is between the Pro one and the not Pro one. And apparently, oh, I thought the cameraman was reaching for a snack there, but it turns out that that is not what is going on. Okay, so it comes wrapped in plastic and it's very, very shiny. So that's uh a shiny enclosure. So what I'm guessing, and this is a pretty safe guess, is that there are actually two 2 and 1/2 in drives inside here. Two 500 gig drives. And that's what gives you the 1 TBTE capacity. You got a Seagate logo here. And then the sides are just kind of a standard uh shiny plastic. And then on the bottom, it's matte. So that way when you actually put it down on the desk, which is how you're likely going to use it, you're not going to scratch it up too bad. as long as you're careful to um protect the top, which is probably pretty easy to scratch and a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but what can you really do? So, here we are. Here's our USB 2.0 interface cable. And this is going to show us how to plug in the modular interface cable. So, just take the plastic covering off here so that I can show it to you in its shiny plastic glory. It's actually feels quite well built. It's quite um like it feels solid without feeling overly heavy and yeah, it doesn't move around or anything. So, that's a good sign. So, you just plug that in like that and then it looks like that. There's your USB 2.0 Oh, that's interesting. Hold on. Oh, that's weird. None of the other ones um actually have a removable cable, but the USB 2.0 one does. So, there you go. For whatever reason, uh let me just double check that. Yeah, none of the other ones have that, but this one does. So, why don't we just sort of plug it in and see if it works. Plug it into my computer here. Take it one step further than I normally do in an unboxing. Put that on the ground. There we go. It works. Excellent. So, now that I have absolutely no room on my desk to move my mouse, I will attempt to use my computer. So, it comes with a bunch of stuff on it. It comes with a USB 3.0 PC card adapter driver folder. It comes with a Seagate folder, which is registration as well as the Seagate dashboard. And then it also has a setup, which is may or may not be for Mac because there's a Mac installer. DMG and I don't know how to install stuff on a Mac. I forgive me please. And then there's also Goflex. So, that's just an icon. So, why don't we run setup and see what happens? Feel free to tune out at any time. The unboxing is over. Thank you for watching my unboxing. Don't forget to subscribe and all that good stuff. But then um beyond that, I guess we can also register our product or we can not do that. Uh never register this drive. And then oh okay, it wants to find Seagate dashboard.exe. Okay. So, what I think I've managed to do is screw it up already within about 2 seconds of plugging it into my computer, which is a big part of the reason I often do not try to use the product on camera because usually I screw it up and Okay, I plugged it back in. So, we're going to go back into the Seagate folder and we're going to install the Seagate dashboard this time in English, which is good. I live in the United States, sure, close enough. Okay, so here's the Mimo instant backup. Simple 60-cond backup and then Oh, you can install the instant backup which comes with it or you can install the premium backup trial. So, free trial software. Okay, install. Sure. Doesn't take very long to set up by the look of things. My cat really likes this drive though. You can see that he's decided that it is his to lord over here because it's shiny. And oh, he also likes the plastic. Yeah, he wants to fight it. There you go. Okay. And it's not done installing yet. So, my distraction has completely failed. Oh, now he's attacking it some more. You know what? Forget it. This is really boring. So, you install the software and then you use the drive. Or you don't bother installing the software and you just use the drive. Thank you for checking out my unboxing and attempt at using the product. And don't forget to subscribe once again."}
