welcome to my unboxing your first look at something that we've kind of looked at before but not quite this is the Western Digital my book velociraptor duo so we've already had a look at their other jewel drive thunderbolt enclosure which actually had green drives inside which means you've got bigger capacity so that one was a 4 terabyte model whereas this one is only 2 terabytes of total capacity but the big difference is this one instead of those screen drives which spin it around 5400 rpm has two drives that's been a green 10,000 rpm so we're gonna have more performance faster response times and lower capacity but more performance and faster response times which is what Thunderbolt is all about so let's see what WD I've already done my spiel but let's see what they think dramatic performance data protection and daisy chain flexibility cool two terabytes or up to two terabytes depending on how you configure it - WD Velociraptor 10,000 rpm drives inside compatible with OS X 10 whatever you want to call it okay we're gonna look at that when we open it up blazing speed from WD Velociraptor 10,000 RPM evolutionary Thunderbolt interface okay so we pretty much covered this so let's open it up and have a look at what this one looks like compared to the other one that we did already unbox and I am expecting it to look very similar so we have a power brick we have really it includes a Thunderbolt cable button not wait yeah it includes a Thunderbolt cable that's awesome way to go WD for like banning up and including the cable with these expensive Thunderbolt products love it good show okay moving right along oh it says that right on the box had I not gone through the box so quickly I might have noticed that it says Thunderbolt cable included and contents Thunderbolt cable but I like surprises that's half the fun of this unboxing channel like the surprise of not reading the box and then being surprised by things that shouldn't surprise us you know what we should do just for giggle since I might not actually open the enclosure is uh we should go be surprised that we have a Western Digital velociraptor so this is our Velociraptor let's just see if our Velociraptor it's the same as their Velociraptor but let's take a look at the at the enclosure first so it's about the size of two three and a half inch drives if you guys aren't sure of the scale and I would also love to do the traditional iPhone size comparison I know it's been a while since I've pulled this out there you go iPhone size comparison so now y'all will know how big it is lots of cooling you can see here there's passive ventilation going on in the bottom passive ventilation going on in the top heat does naturally rise so you'll get cool air because these feet are so tall coming in through through the bottom of the enclosure and then up through the top I wouldn't recommend running this on a soft surface such as like on your bed next to your laptop although usually that probably wouldn't come up but I would recommend putting you down on a hard surface okay at the back of over indicator LED there hiding probably can't even see that on the camera don't worry about it on the back you've got your power in your Kensington lock because this baby is valuable you're gonna want to lock that up if you're using it in public there's a store demo you know know there's a valid reason for this to Thunderbolt ports so these are pass throughs which means you can daisy chain up to six of these which would be just Oh way to ballin out so that would be six times two terabytes potentially with the whole thing running in raid zero off to ten gigabit per section but you know I wonder if I could do something to you to send me ten an hour six of these probably not okay let's have a look at the drives inside so I'm expecting needs to be regular Velociraptor drives seem able to look at though that will open it so this is a two-and-a-half-inch drive however it is a thicker form-factor drive and it comes with a huge heatsink that allows it to stay cool and and and perform you know like it's 10,000 revolutions per minute that it that it does and here we go hey so only use WD blossom after rajma the other one of those labeled only use green drives I don't know if this is for more locked or anything like that but it's clearly nothing to do with the actual cooling capacity of the unit because they've taken their lowest power coolest running drives and their highest power hottest running drives and they put them both in this enclosure so maybe I'm overthinking this but yes it just has this handy-dandy pull tab and other than that it looks the same as our Velociraptor down to the same part number two one terabyte velociraptors and now they're like now they're like dual Raptors thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the WD my book Velociraptor do remember this is all about more performance and faster response times this is a professional-grade product so if you were doing for example video editing then you might want something like this because it will be something that you can portably take with you with your footage you'll get again the response time that you get from the faster rpm drives and the capacity that you need that's not all these on for example many modern notebooks that are equipped with Thunderbolt so you can get that storage in the speed and them I think I've repeated myself a few times so let's just finish up with um I don't know clowns
