 Want a portable power bank, wireless AP, SD card and USB reader for your mobile devices? Check the link in the video description to learn more about the ADATA Dash Drive Air AE400. Now, while I love data security as much as the next guy in terms of keeping my precious memory safe, it is still pretty hard to get excited about a NAS because the cold hard truth is they all do basically the same thing. They keep your data store data safe by replicating it across multiple drives. They allow you to centralize your storage in one place. They allow you to build a sort of personal cloud so that you can access your data on the go and all of these are good things. But the cold hard truth is a lot of them are either let down by subpar hardware, they're let down by subpar software or they're let down by just not being interesting or not having anything different about them. Enter the IO Safe N2. Totally different. First of all, it starts with packaging. Check this out. That is some of the thickest closed cell phone that I've ever seen packed around a NAS and there is a very good reason for that. That very good reason is that this thing weighs a frigging ton. It weighs about as much sort of like cubic centimeter for cubic centimeter as a UPS. And there's a very good reason for that too. This NAS is fireproof and waterproof. It can handle up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit or around 840 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes at lower temperatures. It can go for longer and to put that in perspective, most house fires won't go for longer than 30 minutes before a fire department shows up and puts it out and that's where the waterproofness comes in. So not only is it blood resistant because it can handle 10 feet of fresh or salt water for up to 72 hours, but it can handle having the fire outside of it where it'll be basically red hot by the time the fire department reaches it and it can handle being hosed down at that point in time. All of this without causing data to be lost on the drives inside. You guys, you guys getting crazy with me here yet? All right. So it's available in a couple of configurations, diskless or with disks installed. This right here is the diskless one. But the thing about the installed disk one is that iosafe doesn't expect you to actually continue to use the NAS after it's been on fire and after it's been doused down with water. They expect you to send it to them for data recovery. They cover shipping both ways, which is very, very cool. And they even send you back your new N2. So if it goes on fire or whatever else, they send you a new one. They send you new drives inside. So your data is completely safe. I don't believe there's any deductible on the first one, but don't necessarily quote me on that. Check the link in the description if you want more details. So let's go accessories first, I guess. So there's a power adapter right there. All right. Power cord. Got some screws for installing drives. Got an ethernet cable. Got a small magnet as well as an iosafe disk and this removal tool. So it has a very unique construction. First of all, the entire outside of it is made of steel. So there's no aluminum screws even because aluminum or plastic or any other materials are going to have serious problems at 1500 degrees Fahrenheit. So it's all made of steel. Around the backside, you can see there is still a ventilation fan. And the way that that works is they actually have vent holes in the front that are built with kind of a maze like structure so that in a fire, the flames themselves can't get through to reach the drives and they have to go through the insulation, which is has a very unique design as well. So it still is allowed to have active cooling. It's got a power in at the back, gigabit ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports and a security Kensington lock. On the other side, we find not a whole lot of anything. And then on the front, this is where things start to get really interesting. Power copy, USB 2, SD card reader and activity LEDs. So there's two drives inside. You can configure it in JBOD, RAID 0 or RAID 1. And we are going to take this baby apart. All right, guys. So here we are. The first thing is just two screws. It's actually less complicated than I thought. We didn't really need to cut the camera here. So the first thing we find once we take off the front, it's nice long screws. Okay, there we go. Are the flow safe vents. So these are the ventilation holes that allow air to pass in through the side here, then along this drive storage containment unit here and then out the back. The second thing we find is this stuff. This is their data cast insulation. This is a very unique solution. What this does is once it reaches a temperature of around 160 degrees Fahrenheit, it begins to sweat water. And so you can see that's lining the entire inside there. So what that means is that as long as there is liquid water present, the temperature of this insulation cannot exceed 100 degrees Celsius. That's how it works. Seriously, go look it up. If there's still liquid water in the bottom of your frying pan, the frying pan cannot exceed 100 degrees Celsius. So that is what allows it to sweat it out over a period of 30 minutes and keep the temperature of the drives. I mean, 100 degrees isn't happy for them, but under control to the point where they will still be able to have the data pull off of them afterwards. Now that's not the end of the protection because just because you're fireproof doesn't mean you're waterproof. So that's where this next layer comes in. We're going to go ahead and remove this Allen key screw right here. There we go. And this is where you will find the hydro safe barrier. So this is the one that handles 10 feet of fresh or salt water for up to 72 hours or being hosed off with a fire hose. And you can see here now we get to some aluminum construction. So this is where the drives themselves go. Remember, these ones will be at safe temperatures, so they didn't have to build them out of steel necessarily. But you can see they're designed out of aluminum for thermal conductivity. So that's the sled that the drive mounts in. And then here is where the drive will actually be able to make contact with this shell around it with the drive enclosure itself, which is what will allow it to pass heat using the fins on the outside and be cooled by the fan at the back. So keeping your drive safe during a fire or flood is important, but you also have to keep them safe while they're actually operating it. So guys, stay tuned because we will be torture testing this drive. Guys leave a comment under the video if you have some crazy creative ideas for how you think we can torture it. Do not forget to like the video and don't forget to share the video with anyone who you think might benefit from this kind of small or medium business style NAS enclosure. Remember guys, I did say a lot of NASs are let down by sort of poor software or poor hardware implementations. This one has very respectable read and write speeds and uses Synology software. So that means you can install apps and it has very advanced management systems and all that good stuff. Synology makes good stuff. So don't forget to subscribe and I'll see you guys next time.
