how's it going guys today I'll be doing an unboxing an overview of this product from Corsair this is their Voyager air and in a nutshell it is a wireless media storage device so when you break it down it really is just a hard drive but not any hard drive mind you you can connect this thing to your wireless router via Gigabit Ethernet or you can just connect it to your Wi-Fi network via Wi-Fi and then from there you can stream whatever media if you've put on here movies music whatever Word documents from whatever Wi-Fi enabled device you choose to stream from so whether that be your PC or your laptop or a smartphone or tablet you can basically have this thing on the go or at home just kind of like a wireless almost like a network attached storage but not quite in a very portable form so with that said this is kind of an interesting new neat kind of niche product for a Corsair to put out I'm used to seeing them do you know chassis these power supplies SSDs coolers and that sort of thing so this is definitely piqued my interest so when we have a closer look alright so just a few things I want to point out on the box before we get into it all first of all it tells you that you can stream up to 5 HD movies at a time from this thing so that's really nice right that kind of promotes this thing as being a nice little media hub which is very useful especially if you have multiple people trying to access the files or stream video from this device at the same time so up to 5 videos I'm not sure if this is what if this stands for music as well and wonder how many songs you can simultaneously stream hmm I'll have to look into that right here it says you have a rechargeable lithium ion battery in this link so you could essentially power this up in the car right without any kind of connection for power as long as you have a Wi-Fi signal in the car it's it should essentially work just the same so that's really nice they haven't listed it here but this is a 60 200 milli amp battery and it is offering up to 7 hours of continuous video streaming which is pretty good for a little device like this and even though this is primarily targeted towards users to be using it wirelessly you can also act as a straight-up external hard drive with a USB 3.0 connection they've included a cable which I'll show you in a sec so you're gonna get awesome USB 3.0 speeds if you don't want to use the wireless for whatever reason but yeah they're advertising 120 megabytes per second read and write so not too shabby and then lastly here is just saying you know this is we've intended this to be a wireless device so it is 802 11 B G and n compatible and it does have a wireless range of 90 feet so as long as you're streaming this thing from you know whatever Wi-Fi device and you're 90 feet or closer you should be just fine I went on the back I did want to point out that there is nothing it's just a bunch of market e-text II salesy stuff like Flutie Flutie flucos there but this stuff right here is I know pretty Specter it's informational but I'm gonna get into all that right now alright guys so upon opening up the box you will find your user's manual the drive itself which I will get more into you in just a sec look how pretty that is ooh Mac's a little travel pouch for I'm guessing your accessories because drive doesn't really seem to fit inside of it maybe maybe just barely yeah okay sure it's a nice little travel pouch there for storage or whatever here we have in wall adapter so it's actually a two parter it looks like so here's your USB wall charger and they've included the add-on attachment your North American standard metal prongs right there so you can kind of just snap that in place like so and voila your wall charger and of course they've given you a USB to DC cable to work in tandem with that charger and oh they give you a car charger as well look at that so DC to USB so you can actually charge your drive while you drive fancy that and then lastly for accessories you have your USB 3.0 cable like I said you can use this drive as a typical old-school external hard drive so if it won't be that old school because it's USB 3 full alright guys and that brings me to the drive itself this is the star of the show you can see that it is somewhat covered in red accents all on all three sides of them the bottom and it doesn't really serve any kind of functionality it's strictly there just for aesthetics but I think it makes it look rather nice and you can kind of see they went with some angular design here at the top of the enclosure kind of ramps up and then wraps down once again just for the sake of aesthetics but it makes it look rather stylish you've got some Voyager branding right there err on both sides and on the bottom here we've got four rubber feet basically to prevent your drive from slipping sliding around on whatever desk you put it on and it also prevents it from scratching whatever surfaces it's aligned on the front here you've got some LED indicator lights so you've got power so you slide that over it turns on you got a blue LED right there and this is your battery LED indicator so essentially if it's a hundred percent charge it'll be green it'll turn amber like it is now if it's charged anywhere from 20 to 99 percent and if it gets below 20 percent it will turn red and at that point you should probably charger over here you've got your DC power LED so essentially if you plug this guy into the wall using that wall adapter that's included or if you plug it in to your car and you're charging it there that LED will just light up essentially telling you that it's being charged and it's being powered by DC power anything other than the internal battery and lastly you've got your Wi-Fi LED indicator light there so much in the same fashion as we did with the power switch she kind of just switch it over and now you can see it's lit up blue letting you know that we are we have enabled Wi-Fi connectivity on the back Leslie you have some connectivity as well you've got your Gigabit Ethernet USB 3.0 and your DC power alright guys and now for a very quiet demo as my roommates just went to bed so here you can see the drive plugged into my 600 T via USB 3.0 with the included cable and it is plugged into a USB 3.0 port right there on the front panel and our specimen for this experiment will be this game of thrones file that I have it's not HD or anything but it will let us know if we can playback this video and stream it so here you've got the Voyager air just kind of plug and play this is the first time we've plugged it in just pops up in my computer no problem so this is an included video that just comes on your drive and you buy it no need to watch that it's kind of kind of boring and so let's just drag this over drag and drop so putting gameofthrones on the driver right now it's about half a gig as you can see there it only took about five seconds or less so pretty speedy transfer speeds right there so let's see if we can stream it from my phone alright guys so as you can see the drive is still powered on however we have no more cables attached to it we've gone completely wireless at this point so now we're just gonna try to connect and access that drive from my phone so go to my wireless networks here and you can see right there void your air pops up right away connect sure why not just give it a sec okay whatever alright now basically you go to your Voyageur air app you can just search for Voyager air in your app store and it should be one of the first ones that pops up it's a completely free app it's a relatively easy to use so you go to folders and there you go so you've got your crappy introduction video and you're awesome Game of Thrones episode so we're going to try to play it across our fingers mmm alright look at that come on started in the middle but I think that's cuz I was messing around with it earlier so there you go it actually looks pretty decent to be honest granted it's on a 4.5 inch screen and whatnot but there's absolutely no lag from what I can tell no lag from streaming so it's actually streaming pretty nicely you can scroll through look at how just snappy it is just boom Tirion about to get effed up I love the shells Oh chief stated the brothel alright guys that is gonna wrap it up for this unboxing and overview of the Voyager air from Corsair and once again this is the one terabyte model in red thank you all for watching awesomesauce news subscribe to the channel if you haven't already
