welcome to my unboxing and first look at the shuttle Omni nas which is your own private cloud it gives you mobility it's cool it's stylish dual core and ease of use this is not a this is a grammatical anomaly because these should all be these should all be kind of the same thing so it should say mobile cool stylish powerful and easy to use or it should say mobility coolness style stylishness I don't know whatever ok don't worry about it this is the KD 20 is a tube a NASA support single or dual three-and-a-half inch hard drives up to a total of 8 terabytes and Beyond raid 0 raid 1 j-bot and single hard drive modes are available performance is 75 / 55 megabytes reads and writes remote access from iPhone iPad and Android devices it has a media server a print server and an iTunes server auto copy feature for USB 3 and card reader that's handy actually Bluetooth downloads without a PC no way it has bluetooth on it oh I didn't know that ok cool Omni Touch hot swap button connectors 1 USB 3 2 USB 2 an SD card reader and let's open this bad boy up so what do they mean by your own private cloud well they mean that through the apps that are included are well not included obviously you can't include an app but you could make it available on the App Store and on Google Play so through the apps that are available for the device you can access your files and your pictures and your music and all that kind of cool stuff on the go much like you could if you started in the cloud however instead of relying on a paper use cloud service or you know something where you have to upload all your files to someone else so you don't know and don't necessarily trust you can build your own cloud for the cost of an omni NAS and a couple of hard drives here are your hard drive mounting screws here is your Gigabit Ethernet cable here is your power connector and here is the cord that goes with it so you get plugs into there I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do it wait for it I'm gonna try to do it oh just like that okay they also include a Quick Start Guide user manual and Omni Nast finder utility these can be handy these finder utilities because sometimes stuff just doesn't show up until you use the finder utility like it's so stupid my Netgear switch I have a smart switch could not find it without the finder utility now the finder utility doesn't even work good thing I configured it already alright Quick Start Guide shows you how to quickly get started installation of drives is as simple as screwing in a drive and sliding in the whole thing but we'll show you that once we open it up power button yeah okay this is all stuff we should be able to figure out relatively easily plug the thing into the thing and the things into the other things okay powering on the system press the power button to power it on these are like instructions for my mom which is good although you know what I really still don't think she could handle it and I hope my mom's not watching this video because she thinks she's tech savvy alright so there's the power button you can tell from that symbol my mom still can't figure that out to give you some idea she'll be like oh the power buttons not labeled I'm like ma that with that symbol that means power on everything USB 3 I do I love my mother I really do just she can't do that SD card reader so you must be indicator your hard drive activity indicators for hard drives 1 & 2 the push here is clearly labeled although you know what she could probably figure that it okay and then you can easily pull out the trays where you can screw in the hard drives very very easily I use these ones right here not compatible to half inch drives although most people aren't using those for storage at this point in time you can see the SATA interface at the back you can also see everything is sort of well perforated so you shouldn't have any trouble of ventilation in here however I would like to there you go pretty straight port I'd like to check out aha we have a 60 ml cooling fan in the back so that'll take care of keeping things cool DC and Kensington lock Gigabit Ethernet two USB 2.0 ports more events down here and something that I haven't brought up yet and that is the very gorgeous aluminum check that out thick anodized aluminum piece that goes all the way from the bottom to the top - or rather to the side and then to the top and looks just outstanding so this will look great next to you on your desk or under your desk it will be durable or whatever else you need to do with it and yeah love those nice little touches because it just sets it apart from all the cheap plastic Nazz boxes that are out there because it's made of aluminum it's also very cold very soothing so I think that pretty much covers it this isn't rocket science it's an ass it's a tube a knives it's not unreasonably expensive there's apps that go along with it thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the Omni NAS from shuttle don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
