Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Lacie 2big Quadra Unboxing & Overview in HD!”.
What’S up folks, unbox therapy is back in the house, and these unboxings just keep getting cooler and cooler. Today we got a let’s see two big Quadra professional, two disc raid, and I just want to say off the bat that we’ve got a special guest on boxer. Today we invited someone from far far away he’s known to most of the world as the Wolfman. So please lay off the comments regarding the hairy arms.
He gets very upset and he’s very self-conscious about it anyway. Now that we’ve got that out of the way the important part of this – and the reason you came here – is to look at the hard drive and there’s a couple things that are special about this model. First and foremost, it has a ton of different interfaces.
Hence the name Quadra and second of all, the design is different from other external drives, in that the entire enclosure is a giant heatsink and what that means for you is you’re, not gon na have a fan constantly running making noise in you know you’re gon na Probably want to use this thing in some environments where noise might be an issue, but even if it isn’t, everybody knows that a another fan going off in your computer room is not necessarily something that you’re looking forward to. So one thing I noticed right away. Is this puppy’s heavy as you’d expect? It’S got two hard drives in it. Let’S take a close look at the back here we got our power port, a firewire, 400 port, two firewire 800 ports, a USB 2.0 port, an eSATA port, an on/off switch and at the top there you can see the indicators for the different type of hardware aids That you can set up. This is also where the hard drives can be hot swapped out the back. You can see on the front that you got your giant big blue Lissie button that everybody’s used to if you’ve had Lucy products and that button actually has some functionality itself. You can set it up to perform a number of different shortcuts, such as backing up or launching specific applications. That’S completely up to you. Now, let’s see what’s included, I’m hoping we get all the different cables for those different interfaces and by the looks of it.
That’S the case first, this is your jumper pin this you’re gon na stick in the back of the device to configure the type of raid you’re looking for this is to remove. This is an allen key, obviously, to remove the stand from the bottom. In case you want to, you know, mount the raid into a rack here. Is your USB cable, eSATA cable? Look at this? They gave us all the cables. We need that’s beautiful here we got our firewire 400 cable and firewire 800 cable.
That’S the one! I’M probably going to be using and some self-explanatory stuff here is our power cord and the other half of the power adapter, which actually is not huge and fairly light. You think a device like this might have some gigantic freaking power adapter, like, though like the first xbox, 360’s or whatever anyway. Here is some utilities on disk, so backup utilities and whatnot. Your quick install guide a couple different languages in here and, lastly, your warranty information and that’s another cool thing about Lisi – is you’re getting a three year warranty with this stuff.
So here I’m gon na show you just how you hot-swap a drive. You just got to stick poin in here and, of course, you’ve got two drives in this model, and then this Bay, just slides out to reveal a regular three and a half inch SATA drive in my case they’re. Each gon na be a terabyte and I was actually surprised to find out that there’s Samsung hard drives inside. I was thinking I was gon na see Western Digital or Seagate, but now we found a Samsung drive anyway, you can see the build quality of the cage. Is pretty serious? It’S all! It’S all some sort of aluminum alloy. Okay! Here is a little bit of information regarding raid.
You can see we got our different performance chart depending on the type of interface you use. Obviously, eSATA is going to be the fastest here’s. Some information regarding the heatsink and how it works as opposed to a sort of standard design, and lastly, we’ve got that shortcut button which I explained to you earlier.
You can set it up forever. Whatever you want, this episode of unbox, the repiy has been brought to you by war, Steiner, beer, it’s premium, it’s German and I just finished my second one for the evening. .
