today we'll be unboxing the sans digital tower braid TR 4m and we've got the the B model the black model so it's available in both colors so this is actually for the camera man's video editing station because he's run out of space and he needs a nice fast solution for editing videos so let's have a look at the accessory package to start we've got an eSATA cable and we've got let's see let's go here we've got okay that's a power cord just a standard PC power cord then we have thumb screws for installing up to four hard drives so you can see there's only two screws per drive so we'll have to have a look at the mounting system in a minute and then a PCI Express 1x eSATA card which we won't actually be using because the Cameron does his editing on a laptop so there's your quick installation guide technical support and what appears to be a drive your CD so now let's get into the actual TR 4m unit itself pretty reasonably sized for our forebay enclosure okay so basically we've got a shiny plastic finish both on the front and on all sides so I'll get you to have a look there hopefully that's pretty good so you can see at the back we've got an 80 millimeter exhaust fan you've got your eSATA interface you've got a switch here to switch between 115 volt or 230 volts so make sure you've got the right one enabled before you power this baby up there's your power input and then an on and off switch on the other side you've got some more ventilation holes so that's gonna draw air across your hard drives and then out the back of the unit and then let's have a look at the front here so there's your activity LEDs for your four hard drives there's your host activity LED your power LED and then let's open this baby up nope sorry so there you go you slide the drives in one by one and then there is a backplane on the back of the unit itself on the inside and let's actually just open this up so that we can demo a little bit better here so it's three Sloane screws on the back and they're a little bit tight so I'm gonna use my screwdriver to start them here there we go and let's take off the cover and then we can see the very inner workings themselves okay I'll slide this back that's pretty easy okay so there you go so all you do is slide the hard drive in okay so we've got a WD black slide it in from the front you can see it engages with the back plane right about there and then you use two of the included thumb screws which had one and put somewhere else to secure the drive on both sides at the front actually it's pretty straightforward it'd be nice to see hot-swap but for the price you can't really complain put it there anyway so thank you for checking out my vlog on the sans digital tower 8 TR 4 MB
