2010-08-23
today I'll be only sort of unboxing a product that is truly unique I've never seen anything that is exactly like this this is an LG product I don't know exactly what it's called it's the N 1 t1 this particular model so why don't we call it that we'll call it the n1 t 1 and since I can't properly unbox it I'll actually want to leave this on here because that has some marketing information that I can tell you about so the N 1 T 1 is a network storage device and I apologize for the box being open already but this is a marketing sample so it's kind of making the rounds and I get to check it out now ok so it has fast reads and writes speeds okay it's a network storage device you can email your file through downloadable links you can use thumbnail view check your images it's a print server it's compatible with different operating systems including Mac it can be used as a torrent download server ok has a simple and easy user interface a virtual disk library to store and manage all of your DVDs and CDs files that's kind of cool multiple user access time machine support it's an iTunes server and it is Energy Star 5 but that's not all wait there's more ok so here on the front you see that it is now capped like when I peeled the stickers off the shipping labels it tripped up all of the all of the prints on the box so it's gonna be very very difficult for me to read this and show it to you at the same time so here's what I'll do yeah ok I'll just kind of sort of you might be able to read it ok so its network storage that's cool so it's got gigabit ethernet here on the back ok so you see that abd turn it right there it's an external hard drive an optical drive mini notebook friendly feature so you can see right here it has a USB port and it also has a ya wall USB port so it also has a switch right here so you can switch it from nass mode right there ok let's see if I can get my camera to focus good camera ok so you can go from NASA mode to external optical drive you can see right here at the front there is an optical drive slot that you can put optical media in ok and then you can also switch it to external hard drive mode so you can use that u.s. B port to connect to a computer and use it as an external storage drive or as an external DVD and CD drive very cool so it has a backup button right here it has an eject button those are the two buttons there here's a bunch of other stuff it supports including UPnP okay DLNA Time Machine we already talked about public link and system backup okay so full system file backup and restore it has remote access via Internet which is pretty handy for an ass and it's a multimedia system so enjoy your multimedia content through your ps3 or to your TV or to your TV directly cool all right here most of this we've talked about already I believe and the back oh that would have been easier to read wouldn't have yes yes it would've so let's open up this box and see what's inside in terms of accessories we've looked at you you need a fair bit already okay there's a USB cable what you will need if you want to plug it in by a USB there's a Gigabit Ethernet cable which you will need if you want to plug it in by a Gigabit Ethernet there is a power cable which you will need if you want to power the device and there's a bunch of documentation which you will want to read if you want to understand the device last but not least there is a box and in the box is a AC to DC power converter if you want to power the device properly and have it not blow up okay so why don't we just have a closer look at the nads external optical drive external hard drive itself so it's got what appears to be a 40 millimeter fan here in the back that's gonna cool down the hard drive inside it's got the power switch here it's got that button we already or the switch rather that we already talked about has a Kensington lock there's your USB port here's a little holder for the cord so it doesn't get so if it gets pulled on or anything like that it's not gonna pull it right out of the jack there's your Gigabit Ethernet and LG rates this thing at 60 megabytes per second read and 40 megabytes per second writes there's an LG logo on the side very nice very slick and then as I mentioned before this is a super multi drive so it's DVD CD reader writer okay there's your backup button there's your eject button the data side goes here if you're having trouble with which way to put in the optical media and then here is yet another summary of all of the different certifications and stuff that it supports which is also here the top it's got a nice glossy black finish on parts of it and then it's got a nice glossy white finish on other parts thank you for checking out my unboxing of the n1t one
