RavPower Wifi Disk Review

2013-11-12
alright guys here we have the ravpower Wi-Fi disk and I must say this is a pretty interesting device it's a 3000 milliamp portable charger which isn't that impressive on its own but it has some extra features you just can't find on other portable chargers this device contained a built-in Wi-Fi system that allows you to connect up to five devices why would you need this feature you might ask well this thing works as a hub for your digital content that your computer smartphones and tablets have access to through streaming when you want to stream your content the dish will put on a Wi-Fi signal for your device to connect to and you don't have to worry about anyone jumping on your signal and accessing your stuff as you'll need a password to get connected taking a closer look you'll see that the Wi-Fi this has a standard SD card slot as well as a USB 2.0 port naturally you can use SD cards from your camera and a thumb drive or a hard drive with the USB port when one or more of these are connected to the Wi-Fi disk you'll be able to stream the contents with device on the Wi-Fi this network also in the front you'll notice some LED lights that indicate when it's powered on has a device connected to it has its Wi-Fi turned on and is working as a hotspot in order to access your content you will need an app from the Play Store or the App Store called air store in this app you'll get a simple file explorer interface which allows you to see your folders and files and access the storage devices connected to the Wi-Fi disk the app works pretty well although it can sometimes be a little sluggish so if multiple people are accessing the device at once but this is an amazing feature because it allows you to travel with media that doesn't have to be directly on your phone or tablet taking up that valuable hard disk space and of course we can't forget that this thing is a portable charger that can charge your phone if it's running low on power I think that's a very useful feature for the average consumer as we always have our phones or tablets dying on us when you're outdoors it should be able to charge most phones at least once back to 100% depending on how large your phone's battery cap city is an iPhone can probably get two charges out of this and Android depending on how new it is it can get at least one to one-and-a-half charges as many of you know I'm a huge fan of portable chargers as I think there are amongst the most useful gadgets you can carry around with you I definitely recommend the ravpower Wi-Fi this as it only retails for 45 bucks and it offers a ton of functionality and value you can find a link in the description if you plan on picking one of these up but before we head out here's a quick message from our sponsor hotspot Shield is a free internet security and privacy solution for all of us average consumers out there who just want to surf the web without any worries about getting our identity stolen or our secure passwords taken so hotspot Shield does this through what's called a VPN and a VPN is a virtual private network that pretty much makes a bubble around your internet browsing and it protects you from all the malicious things out there like hackers spammers all kinds of crazy stuff so you can use this in places like airports hotels things like that where the average consumer sometimes doesn't know is that sometimes there are people lurking on these networks who are just waiting for you to log in and steal your identity when you log into like let's say your bank account or anything like that so hotspot Shield does provide you protection from things like that so if you're a frequent traveler you definitely want to use the service it's free to sign up all you have to do is check the link down in the description and download it there and you're all set up so definitely grab it and protect yourself when you're browsing the web and just want to say thanks again to our sponsors over at hotspot shield that's about it for this review guys hopefully you enjoyed it if you did be sure to hit the like button and subscribe to stay up to date with my videos just like this one but till the next video guys this is your average consumer you
