 Welcome to another product unboxing and showcase on Linus Tech Tips. This is actually something that I personally am very excited about. This is a hard drive, but it's a very special hard drive. This is from Seagate's GoFlex series. Now if you remember, I talked about the GoFlex a while ago. The GoFlex drives basically have an enclosure around a bare drive, which doesn't sound very advanced, but it is. Because the cables, the optional cables for the drive, they usually come with USB 2, and then you can buy USB 3 or ESATA or Firewire, whatever the case may be. The cables actually include the chips- sorry about that, battery. Anyway, like I was saying, the cables for GoFlex series drives are actually what contain the chipset that converts the signal from SATA, which is the drive, to whatever interface you choose. Now this one's a little special here. Let's take the product out first, and I'll explain more about what it does shortly. So the first thing we find inside is a quick start guide. The quick start guide shows us everything that's included as well as some basic functionality. So let's leave that open, and let's have a look at what we have included with the drive. So here's something. I see I'm not sure exactly how this one works yet, so you know, we're taking it apart. We're on a voyage of discovery here together, you guys. Okay, no idea. We'll get to that after. Next, we have a wall wart. Okay, so this is pretty self-explanatory. This is for powering and charging your drive. Right here we have the USB power cable. So this combined with this is what is going to be used to power and charge your GoFlex satellite. Okay, here we have a USB 3 cable included. That's a very nice inclusion because it does cost more. There's a USB 3 chipset in here. There's your USB 3B cable right there going into the back, and there's your USB 3 cable that goes into your PC. So that goes to the SATA interface on the GoFlex satellite, which is here. So we have the 500 gig model. Okay. Now it's a little heavier than most of the 2.5 inch drives that you're going to find on the market, and there's a very good reason for it because now I mentioned charging the drive. Oh, how does this work? Okay, give me a moment here, guys. Never mind, I got it. Okay, that piece comes off the back if you do want to use the GoFlex interface on the back. So there. Now it's a normal 2.5 inch drive, but I mentioned charging it. This is a wireless drive. It is a satellite drive. The reason it needs to be charged is because it has an internal battery as well as an internal wireless chipset. So what this drive is all about is sharing your data wirelessly with your mobile device. Okay. So it's most of the marketing and advertising is geared around the iPad. So here's what Seagate has to say for themselves. I know I did this kind of backwards. We looked at the product first, then we looked at the package, but let's do the package now. Take your entire media library with you, stream it to your iPad wirelessly. It's for iPad, Android, PC, and Mac. You can store over 300 movies. So just so you guys are clear, I'm not only going to show iPad in this video, so I have a zoom here as well. So when I do the demo video of this product, I will be showing it on both platforms. So you can fill it up using USB 3 or USB 2. Remember, this USB 3 cable that's included is also USB 2 backwards compatible. You can charge it. It lasts for up to five hours of continuous streaming. And you can use the free app or your device's web browser to stream your entire media library wherever you are. And we'll have to try that. We'll have to try the Apple App Store app as well as the browsing method. So you can play up to three different movies on three different iPads or mobile devices at the same time. Works with tablets and smartphones too, so that means iPhones, Android phones, iPads, iPods, all of that good stuff. And your entire media library is just as mobile as your iPad now. So I showed you guys that it does work with the GoFlex interface, but you can also just take this cover, throw it on there like that, and now it is completely sealed in. So all you're going to be using it as is a wireless device. So I press the power button. You can see it's got a power LED as well as a wireless activity LED. You've got your Seagate logo on the top. I know I haven't really shown the drive very well yet. There's the power button on the side. Okay, we've got that over there. We've got our power in, so that's your charging. You'll need that to charge it. Remember it lasts for up to five hours, so that means you should take your charger with you if you're going to be on a long flight, for example, or if you're traveling. Okay, we've got little rubber feet on the bottom. This is a nice addition because most mobile drives like this are designed more for pocket storage, but this one, Seagate has considered that you're going to have it kind of sitting somewhere. And then you'll put it down, and then you'll actually be using a device nearby. So they've accounted for it to not slip off of a surface that you put it on while you're using it to watch movies on your iPad or on your Android tablet. And I think that's pretty much everything there is for me to say about it at the moment. Why don't you just come over here and have a look at the system requirements. So I'll let you guys read this if you're curious about it, but obviously you'll need some kind of a mobile device with Wi-Fi. You'll need a PC or a Mac in order to load the files onto it. In the box, we already went through that, and here's the support for file type, so you guys should check this out. And you do get up to 25 hours of standby, so that's really handy. So you charge it up before you leave, you throw it in your bag, and then you can actually use it continuously for up to five hours. So you can watch at least two full movies, maybe even three shorter movies on the GoFlex satellite before you have to charge it. Very cool. Don't forget to subscribe to NCIXcom, my other channel, to see the performance evaluation and review of this particular unit. This. Cameraman figured out what this is. It's a car charger. That's outstanding. So you're on a long road trip. I mean, the examples I gave were plain examples, but this is even, like, this is even better. So you take your USB charger cable, you throw it in there, you plug that into your car, and all of a sudden, you have unlimited streaming for Wi-Fi for all of your passengers in the back seat. So if you're driving somewhere with your kids, you throw them with the tablet in the back, they're watching movies, you don't have to buy the super expensive model of your car with the TVs built into the back seat. Now you bring around your own TV screen, your own media library, and it runs the whole time, no matter how long you're driving for. Absolutely flippin' brilliant that they included this.
