okay so while for this episode I am down one cameraman I am up one remote so I will actually be able to control the camera with this remote check it out I can even do this whoo very fancy anyway today I'm going to be unboxing and having a quick look at the Antec easy SATA so what the easy sad is is it's a five and a quarter inch drive bay adapter and what you can do is you can take your five and a quarter inch drive bay and turn it into a three and a half inch hot-swap bay that uses get switch interface SATA and what an text link is also that it's very very easy to use and how how the packaging has shattered so we're off to a bit of a rough start here ow okay anyway let's have a look at what is included as far as accessories so here when you open up the Box you find the easy SATA nestled into the packaging there okay so from the front it looks kind of like that you do yeah it's kind of hard to do this actually without a cameraman but what can you do so there is no documentation in here whatsoever all we have inside is a little a little piece of tape holding eight screws down so these are five and a quarter inch base screws and then we have the easy SATA itself so I guess the assumption is that this thing is so easy that you don't even need any instructions on how to use it so why don't we have a look at the side of the unit first so there is your four mounting holes on either side you're going to use that to mount it in a five and a quarter inch drive bay okay so let's have a look at the back so first of all we have the SATA power and SATA data connector and then if we flip it around just a little bit for you here you can see on the inside that is where the drive is actually going to interface with but we also have another SATA cable at the back so this one comes out of this one side here and then terminates into a regular SATA cable that can plug into your motherboard so that is actually for an additional eSATA port on the front of the unit so you can see the eSATA port right here and you can see the little door for a hard drive right there here's your eject button so basically what Antec wants you to do is be able to add hot-swap days to the front of your computer case without any prior support and without any hassle so as long as your motherboard supports ahci which is native SATA operation then you should be able to even while your computer's on popin or pull out a hard drive and have instant access to your archived data because the reality of it is right now hard drives are cheaper than blu-ray and because they're so big and so cheap these days they're way more practical than trying to backup your data on DVDs so thank you for checking out my video blog and let's see if this thing actually works
