Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our
0:04
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner
0:08
is nc.com hey guys we're here at qap to
0:12
check out their turbon Nas SS 469 Pro
0:15
name is a little bit complicated but the hardware specs are not it has an Intel
0:19
atom 2.3 GHz dual core processor 1 gig
0:22
of RAM expandable up to 3 gigs that's pretty cool you can have 512 megab of
0:26
flash memory it has four hd/ SD that's
0:30
2.5 in um some USB stuff other stuff that's not that big of a deal I'm going
0:34
to show you the actual physical thing here right now so you've got some pretty
0:38
nice hot soft Bays if I can get it out here he just did it for me there we go
0:43
pretty nice hot soft Bays where you can mount your drives in there shove them in you got four
0:47
Bays fairly simple looking unit but it looks nice and professional but what
0:52
actually wowed me is cuz I wouldn't normally be that excited about a Nas but
0:56
this one actually has a web control panel so you can access all of your
0:59
files away from home if you're one of those kind of people that don't really
1:02
like having all your files on say Dropbox or Google Docs or something like
1:06
that because you don't like them being out there and controlled by someone else
1:09
you can actually run your own Cloud Server so it's all your own stuff
1:12
there's tons of different options in here you can have all your photos music videos all that kind of stuff easily
1:16
accessible and easily sorted you can actually pick which folders push into
1:20
these easily selectable icons in their settings uh you can set up exactly how
1:25
you want it to be set up through your router or soon it's currently in beta
1:29
but very soon they'll will have a way that it sets itself up for you so you
1:32
don't even have to touch your router at all which will be very nice once that's set up you can share files music video
1:37
video uh music video pictures whatever you want you can have them publicly sharable through a link or you can send
1:42
them directly through an email to people that you want so it's just basically
1:46
gives you all the options that everything that you might currently be using say Dropbox or Google Docs or
1:51
Google drive or sky drive or whatever there's a billion of them but it's all
1:55
manageable by yourself you have it back up for you you can set up group files
2:00
there's different apps you can download for it it's crazy you can have stuff in code currently uh while you're using it
2:06
so basically this resource monitor down here which I find awesome because I'm a
2:11
hardware guy we'll show you exactly how much it's currently using it's not doing
2:14
much right now so the CPU is Right low and the RAM's very low but earlier we
2:18
were encoding and it just maxed the CPU out through RAM through the roof and
2:21
actually encoded a video on the Fly while we were doing other things within
2:24
the station and it didn't lag it out so that was great it's you can encode
2:29
anything to work on anything so like uh the guy was helping me out with saying
2:32
you can have it run an iPhone video when you had it actually for massive format
2:36
you can tune it down get lower uh resolution rates and have it run in
2:40
something else if you'd like and one
2:43
second here I'm just going to jump into their control panel if you were worried about this being locked down and not
2:47
being able to use it that great jump into their control panel and there's
2:51
every option you could pretty much ever want you can have you can have things
2:55
delete easily you can have your own security setups you can have Eco power
2:58
running you can can run firmware updates like I don't even there's way too many
3:03
options here to cover in a quick video like this but it's got pretty much
3:06
everything you could want which is awesome I personally find this kind of
3:10
stuff very cool because I don't like hosting myself out out in the cloud like
3:14
I was saying earlier I like having control of all my own files I like being
3:17
able to back up my own Nas I like being able to back up all my own stuff I like
3:20
having my own hard drives I don't know it's just my kind of a thing just
3:24
jumping back to the resource monitor real quick if we actually click on the name resource monitor it's going to take
3:29
a second to load up here and then it'll come up you can get way more in-depth
3:33
statistics here we go it's going to take a second to populate this actually don't
3:37
know if it will because I believe this is in beta but it'll take a second to populate this but it can show you your
3:41
usage graphs so CPU usage over the next little while memory usage we're going to
3:45
jump in here there we go that one's actually populating so memory usage you
3:48
can see how much it's currently using how much is free basically you can figure out okay maybe I need to buy a
3:53
bigger qap system because I'm constantly encoding things and constantly
3:56
converting things or this one's great for you because you're not converting
3:59
things all the time just every once in a while and you just need four two and a
4:03
half inch Bays this thing is pretty cool
4:06
I've seen a couple like them but the user interface on this is very very
4:09
streamlined and very very nice so thanks for checking out our qot booth we're
4:13
going to move on hey guys still at the Q not booth just wanted to cover this before I left just in case you worried
4:17
about connectivity within your home you can connect it through DLNA HDMI or
4:21
AirPlay one thing that he showed me was through HDMI you can very easily set up
4:25
Xbox media player as we show up here Xbox media player is awesome for home
4:29
theater setups so if you have this guy near your TV you can have all your media
4:33
on it right there and very very easily streamed Xbox media player and still
4:37
take the advantage of the accessible through the web platform that we showed
4:41
