 So that video that's going around virally about how unboxings are stupid, I will do as he requested. I'm just going to do away with the box on this one very quickly. Here's the unboxing component of today's video. There, it's gone. I'm not going to talk about the matching connector, or the matching, uh, I don't know, whatever they're called, packing materials. Okay, we're just gonna take off this plastic without any ceremony whatsoever. There you go. Are you happy? Was that better? Is that a better video? Done. Just kidding, guys. I'm not done already. Okay, so this is the Cloud Store powered by Pogo Plug. This is a Buffalo external hard drive product. Alright, the things that it comes with are a flat ethernet cable, which is very nice looking. You don't usually see products like this come with a nice high quality ethernet cable like that. It's terrific. Alright, we've also got an AC to DC power adapter, so it's a 12 volt, 4 amp power adapter. The plug looks a little something like that. Okay. And we have a wall plug that plugs into the power adapter. Look at this. It goes in this way, or it goes in this way. Your choice. Innovative. Okay. Nah, I'm just kidding. That's not the part of this that's innovative. So, you can access and share anytime and anywhere. So you have secure accessible storage, remote access from anywhere, easy secure sharing, and no service contracts or fees. Now that part is cool. This is a 1 terabyte product. It's the 2 bay single hard drive. So, what that means is that Buffalo has innovatively found a way to make their device have a single hard drive take up 2 bays. Nah, I'm just kidding. That's not how it works. What actually happens is you take off the front here, and you can install an additional drive into the Cloud Store if you'd like. So, I'm just going to show you guys the procedure for removing the drive that is pre-installed. You just do that. And then you can pull out the drive. So, inside we have a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1 terabyte drive. And we can go ahead and put it back in. Should be so desire. Just like that. So now it's clipped in. It's not going to go anywhere. So you just use the loop to pull it out from the back. So you can actually see the mechanism here that pulls it out and just pull this down so that it'll come out. Alright, so let's go ahead and throw the front back on. There we are. Okay, so we have power function as well as info slash error LEDs on the front of the unit. Although there's no power switch on the front of the unit because, innovatively, Buffalo has located that on the back. We have our power in, a Kensington lock. We've also got our ethernet port. We have auto on and off for our power switch as well as one USB port and a function button. Let's see what else Buffalo has to say for themselves on the CloudStore box. So, there's your home network. So that means you can take, apparently, music, documents, videos, and whatever that is. Oh, pictures. And you can stream them to your home computer, to a mobile device such as an iPad. Then, from there, you can go to the internet, which is the cloud aspect of this particular device. And you can access your data with a mobile device such as a smartphone, like the Apple iPhone, Android, or Blackberry, and Palm. Wow, so they've got full support for all of those different platforms. That's really cool. And then a PC or a Mac. So whether that's a laptop or a desktop, whatever the case may be, if you have network access, you will be able to get your files. So here they actually show the software. So here's Austin, evidently, so there's a bunch of photos here. These are Brian's photos from Europe. And you've got a bunch of different things here. Actually, we should have a look at the software in a couple minutes here. So you can freely access and share your photos, slideshows, videos, and music, and much more with anyone, anywhere through the cloud. No contracts, set up the CloudStore in seconds. So we're going to test that, how long it actually takes to do that. Adding capacity is a snap by inserting a second hard drive. So I actually don't see anything in here about RAID. So it looks like all you get to do by adding an additional drive is just increase the capacity. You've got an intuitive web interface, set up CloudStore as a drive letter or a device on your PC. Your user experience remains the same whether you are at home or away. It supports BitTorrent, UPnP, and apparently Facebook and Twitter. So that's kind of neat. What else is here? Oh, that is a gigabit ethernet port. So the speed of this device should be pretty decent. And it does support RAID 1 or JBOD. So JBOD means that you're just increasing the capacity. RAID 1 means you can throw in two identical drives and you can have them mirrored for additional data security. So thank you for checking out my unboxing of the CloudStore from Buffalo.
