  1. this right here is my current mobile lab this right here is my current mobile lab setup it is really cool I'm going to setup it is really cool I'm going to setup it is really cool I'm going to cover in extensive detail in a future cover in extensive detail in a future cover in extensive detail in a future video but as soon as I got this built video but as soon as I got this built video but as soon as I got this built and set up I was offered to do a video and set up I was offered to do a video and set up I was offered to do a video on this this right here is the UniFi on this this right here is the UniFi on this this right here is the UniFi drive ut2 this is a portable Nas with a drive ut2 this is a portable Nas with a drive ut2 this is a portable Nas with a built-in ups and networking which this built-in ups and networking which this built-in ups and networking which this also has but it's not nearly as pretty also has but it's not nearly as pretty also has but it's not nearly as pretty or portable full disclosure this is a or portable full disclosure this is a or portable full disclosure this is a Kickstarter product lots of backers Kickstarter product lots of backers Kickstarter product lots of backers they've raised quite a bit of money so they've raised quite a bit of money so they've raised quite a bit of money so if you do decide to back the project I if you do decide to back the project I if you do decide to back the project I can't guarantee that it's going to be can't guarantee that it's going to be can't guarantee that it's going to be exactly what you see in this video but exactly what you see in this video but exactly what you see in this video but it does look like it is what it's going it does look like it is what it's going it does look like it is what it's going to be and it does look like this is a to be and it does look like this is a to be and it does look like this is a Arm System it has a rocket chip uh 8 Arm System it has a rocket chip uh 8 Arm System it has a rocket chip uh 8 core cortex a76 and a55 it does have a core cortex a76 and a55 it does have a core cortex a76 and a55 it does have a mpu six tops in there with 8 GB of lpddr mpu six tops in there with 8 GB of lpddr mpu six tops in there with 8 GB of lpddr 4X memory and a built-in 32 GB emmc so 4X memory and a built-in 32 GB emmc so 4X memory and a built-in 32 GB emmc so that's the internals let's actually that's the internals let's actually that's the internals let's actually unbox this product and check out the unbox this product and check out the unbox this product and check out the externals I'm lazy so I'm just going to externals I'm lazy so I'm just going to externals I'm lazy so I'm just going to tilt the camera down so here it is I tilt the camera down so here it is I tilt the camera down so here it is I kind of opened up the packaging a little kind of opened up the packaging a little kind of opened up the packaging a little bit we do get our warranty card as well bit we do get our warranty card as well bit we do get our warranty card as well as a manual that seems to be very nicely as a manual that seems to be very nicely as a manual that seems to be very nicely done here we have the actual device done here we have the actual device done here we have the actual device which we're going to be getting into we which we're going to be getting into we which we're going to be getting into we do have this uh it's a CF type A and B do have this uh it's a CF type A and B do have this uh it's a CF type A and B card slot adapter as kind of the main card slot adapter as kind of the main card slot adapter as kind of the main consumer that they're going for with consumer that they're going for with consumer that they're going for with this thing is videographers and this thing is videographers and this thing is videographers and photographers as kind of a complex and photographers as kind of a complex and photographers as kind of a complex and featur backup solution we got a flat featur backup solution we got a flat featur backup solution we got a flat cable cat 7 a USBC looks like this is a cable cat 7 a USBC looks like this is a cable cat 7 a USBC looks like this is a 3.1 cable we have HDMI because it does 3.1 cable we have HDMI because it does 3.1 cable we have HDMI because it does support HDMI out and something that will

  2. support HDMI out and something that will support HDMI out and something that will kind of be cool to check out is this kind of be cool to check out is this kind of be cool to check out is this right here it comes with a little remote right here it comes with a little remote right here it comes with a little remote so that's going to be pretty interesting so that's going to be pretty interesting so that's going to be pretty interesting to check out we got a 33 w little AC to check out we got a 33 w little AC to check out we got a 33 w little AC adapter and I'm not sure exactly what adapter and I'm not sure exactly what adapter and I'm not sure exactly what the consumer versions are going to ship the consumer versions are going to ship the consumer versions are going to ship with but they did send me uh two 512 GB with but they did send me uh two 512 GB with but they did send me uh two 512 GB single chip mvme drives by Western single chip mvme drives by Western single chip mvme drives by Western Digital so here it is it is pretty small Digital so here it is it is pretty small Digital so here it is it is pretty small about the same size as the entire about the same size as the entire about the same size as the entire battery that I'm using for my little battery that I'm using for my little battery that I'm using for my little mobile lab stack which then that kind of mobile lab stack which then that kind of mobile lab stack which then that kind of gets us to one of the Cons with this gets us to one of the Cons with this gets us to one of the Cons with this device at least a con to me personally device at least a con to me personally device at least a con to me personally and that is the battery life of this I'm and that is the battery life of this I'm and that is the battery life of this I'm trying to find on here the actual trying to find on here the actual trying to find on here the actual battery capacity there's the power um battery capacity there's the power um battery capacity there's the power um it's not listed so if I figure it out it's not listed so if I figure it out it's not listed so if I figure it out I'll put it on screen but what I've seen I'll put it on screen but what I've seen I'll put it on screen but what I've seen in other reviews is generally people get in other reviews is generally people get in other reviews is generally people get about an hour of battery life off of about an hour of battery life off of about an hour of battery life off of this thing and we will dive into the this thing and we will dive into the this thing and we will dive into the specific UPS setting soon so it's you specific UPS setting soon so it's you specific UPS setting soon so it's you can't really look at it as a battery can't really look at it as a battery can't really look at it as a battery powered NZ more as a integrated ups for powered NZ more as a integrated ups for powered NZ more as a integrated ups for just kind of like quick uses or to save just kind of like quick uses or to save just kind of like quick uses or to save on failure and we will be getting into on failure and we will be getting into on failure and we will be getting into all those settings in just a little bit all those settings in just a little bit all those settings in just a little bit on the front here we have USBC 3.2 gen 1 on the front here we have USBC 3.2 gen 1 on the front here we have USBC 3.2 gen 1 we have HDMI 2.1 over here and then this we have HDMI 2.1 over here and then this we have HDMI 2.1 over here and then this guy in the middle is a ethernet RJ45 at guy in the middle is a ethernet RJ45 at guy in the middle is a ethernet RJ45 at 2.5 GB so you get some rather good 2.5 GB so you get some rather good 2.5 GB so you get some rather good transfer speeds of course we have our transfer speeds of course we have our transfer speeds of course we have our power button and then going over to this power button and then going over to this power button and then going over to this side we have a usba 3.2 J gen 1 an side we have a usba 3.2 J gen 1 an side we have a usba 3.2 J gen 1 an additional USBC same specs and then we

  3. additional USBC same specs and then we additional USBC same specs and then we have a SIM card or not sim card we have have a SIM card or not sim card we have have a SIM card or not sim card we have our SD card reader as well as that CFE our SD card reader as well as that CFE our SD card reader as well as that CFE card slot right there and then up here card slot right there and then up here card slot right there and then up here we have led indicators for Bluetooth we have led indicators for Bluetooth we have led indicators for Bluetooth Wi-Fi and the two mvme slots that are on Wi-Fi and the two mvme slots that are on Wi-Fi and the two mvme slots that are on here which let's go ahead and get these here which let's go ahead and get these here which let's go ahead and get these things installed so there's a single things installed so there's a single things installed so there's a single screw covering this little plate slide screw covering this little plate slide screw covering this little plate slide that off and here we are so we just pop that off and here we are so we just pop that off and here we are so we just pop both of these in here like so and then both of these in here like so and then both of these in here like so and then I'm going to get the screws and screw it I'm going to get the screws and screw it I'm going to get the screws and screw it down just like that isn't that beautiful down just like that isn't that beautiful down just like that isn't that beautiful now let's go and seal her up and this now let's go and seal her up and this now let's go and seal her up and this here is actually a case just for demo here is actually a case just for demo here is actually a case just for demo purposes this right here is the device purposes this right here is the device purposes this right here is the device without a case it just looks like kind without a case it just looks like kind without a case it just looks like kind of a portable battery it's a little more of a portable battery it's a little more of a portable battery it's a little more comparable to this one without the case comparable to this one without the case comparable to this one without the case on it and just for reference this right on it and just for reference this right on it and just for reference this right here is a Galaxy s22 Ultra with a case here is a Galaxy s22 Ultra with a case here is a Galaxy s22 Ultra with a case so you can see there the UPS is just a so you can see there the UPS is just a so you can see there the UPS is just a little bit uh thicker but it's almost little bit uh thicker but it's almost little bit uh thicker but it's almost identical when it comes to the size of identical when it comes to the size of identical when it comes to the size of this thing compared to the the ultra this thing compared to the the ultra this thing compared to the the ultra here now the ultra is a pretty big ass here now the ultra is a pretty big ass here now the ultra is a pretty big ass phone so this is an iPhone 12 kind of a phone so this is an iPhone 12 kind of a phone so this is an iPhone 12 kind of a normal sized phone so you could see the normal sized phone so you could see the normal sized phone so you could see the size there it it's it's a pretty compact size there it it's it's a pretty compact size there it it's it's a pretty compact device definitely a little thicker than device definitely a little thicker than device definitely a little thicker than the iPhone without a case got to put my the iPhone without a case got to put my the iPhone without a case got to put my Spongebob case back on put this back in Spongebob case back on put this back in Spongebob case back on put this back in here there we go and we can see on the here there we go and we can see on the here there we go and we can see on the side here there's also a little fan for side here there's also a little fan for side here there's also a little fan for ventilation there there we go so how ventilation there there we go so how ventilation there there we go so how about we fire this up and check out some about we fire this up and check out some about we fire this up and check out some of the UI Network and power connection of the UI Network and power connection of the UI Network and power connection power must be connected to the red Port power must be connected to the red Port power must be connected to the red Port o there's a whole like U kind of layout o there's a whole like U kind of layout o there's a whole like U kind of layout of what all the various LED indicators of what all the various LED indicators of what all the various LED indicators mean let's see if it ships with some mean let's see if it ships with some mean let's see if it ships with some power here all right let's plug it in

  4. power here all right let's plug it in power here all right let's plug it in well I hear the fan kicking up can you well I hear the fan kicking up can you well I hear the fan kicking up can you hear it that's like an inch away from hear it that's like an inch away from hear it that's like an inch away from the mic it's not that loud we have two the mic it's not that loud we have two the mic it's not that loud we have two Reds and a flashing blue waiting for Reds and a flashing blue waiting for Reds and a flashing blue waiting for process the process is probably me process the process is probably me process the process is probably me setting the thing up so let's use this setting the thing up so let's use this setting the thing up so let's use this oh just takes me right to their homepage oh just takes me right to their homepage oh just takes me right to their homepage all right so let's go ahead and do a new all right so let's go ahead and do a new all right so let's go ahead and do a new device registration um activate the device registration um activate the device registration um activate the configuration configuration configuration um damn apply for cancellation is crazy um damn apply for cancellation is crazy um damn apply for cancellation is crazy phrase all right let's go next scanning phrase all right let's go next scanning phrase all right let's go next scanning the land same land as the UniFi device I the land same land as the UniFi device I the land same land as the UniFi device I probably need to plug it into the probably need to plug it into the probably need to plug it into the internet so I have to take it elsewhere internet so I have to take it elsewhere internet so I have to take it elsewhere so I plugged it into L apparently I so I plugged it into L apparently I so I plugged it into L apparently I could have done this via Bluetooth but could have done this via Bluetooth but could have done this via Bluetooth but let's just go back and try this again let's just go back and try this again let's just go back and try this again searching the searching the searching the Lan hey there it is we have our UniFi Lan hey there it is we have our UniFi Lan hey there it is we have our UniFi device uh let's connect to it update device uh let's connect to it update device uh let's connect to it update notice okay looks like it's running on notice okay looks like it's running on notice okay looks like it's running on the port 5055 and we're going to give it the port 5055 and we're going to give it the port 5055 and we're going to give it some time to go ahead and actually some time to go ahead and actually some time to go ahead and actually update all right so I heard beep in the update all right so I heard beep in the update all right so I heard beep in the background the update successful so background the update successful so background the update successful so let's go ahead and enter our system let's go ahead and enter our system let's go ahead and enter our system create our administrator UD link robust create our administrator UD link robust create our administrator UD link robust infrastructure uh allow you to access it infrastructure uh allow you to access it infrastructure uh allow you to access it anywhere without port forwarding let's anywhere without port forwarding let's anywhere without port forwarding let's do it do it do it 2595 so let's activate it might as well 2595 so let's activate it might as well 2595 so let's activate it might as well test out all the features ah damn it test out all the features ah damn it test out all the features ah damn it here we go registration successful so here we go registration successful so here we go registration successful so now we get to enter so here this is our now we get to enter so here this is our now we get to enter so here this is our uh creating our storage pool so we do uh creating our storage pool so we do uh creating our storage pool so we do have a couple options we have UDR and have a couple options we have UDR and have a couple options we have UDR and raid one apparently UDR is their own raid one apparently UDR is their own raid one apparently UDR is their own thing in which they'll allow you to kind thing in which they'll allow you to kind thing in which they'll allow you to kind of set up a raid one configuration but of set up a raid one configuration but of set up a raid one configuration but you save a little bit of storage because

  5. you save a little bit of storage because you save a little bit of storage because you can pick what specific directories you can pick what specific directories you can pick what specific directories you want to use for that configuration you want to use for that configuration you want to use for that configuration or you just do raid one which is or you just do raid one which is or you just do raid one which is basically the two separate drives in basically the two separate drives in basically the two separate drives in here mirrored uh I'm testing out their here mirrored uh I'm testing out their here mirrored uh I'm testing out their stuff so I'll use their thing oh there stuff so I'll use their thing oh there stuff so I'll use their thing oh there it is what is UDR and it goes over it is what is UDR and it goes over it is what is UDR and it goes over everything I just said so next and then everything I just said so next and then everything I just said so next and then we will format start the formatting we will format start the formatting we will format start the formatting process type in our admin password and process type in our admin password and process type in our admin password and continue and here we go so there's my continue and here we go so there's my continue and here we go so there's my user we're healthy uh no important user we're healthy uh no important user we're healthy uh no important messages here are all the various messages here are all the various messages here are all the various applications I'm going to hit see all to applications I'm going to hit see all to applications I'm going to hit see all to see what we have going on so my files see what we have going on so my files see what we have going on so my files group files phone backup which is cool group files phone backup which is cool group files phone backup which is cool uh photo storage movies notepad bunch of uh photo storage movies notepad bunch of uh photo storage movies notepad bunch of stuff that you'd kind of expect off of a stuff that you'd kind of expect off of a stuff that you'd kind of expect off of a Naas operating system seems to be in Naas operating system seems to be in Naas operating system seems to be in here we got music and Cloud backup both here we got music and Cloud backup both here we got music and Cloud backup both coming soon so the cloud backups would coming soon so the cloud backups would coming soon so the cloud backups would be really nice I hope and I please have be really nice I hope and I please have be really nice I hope and I please have a next Cloud option that would be great a next Cloud option that would be great a next Cloud option that would be great because then honestly I could see myself because then honestly I could see myself because then honestly I could see myself using the using the using the has its intended use for like backing up has its intended use for like backing up has its intended use for like backing up videos and stuff just plugging it in videos and stuff just plugging it in videos and stuff just plugging it in automatically uploading to my nextcloud automatically uploading to my nextcloud automatically uploading to my nextcloud that would be great remote access uh that would be great remote access uh that would be great remote access uh file requests bunch of stuff so before file requests bunch of stuff so before file requests bunch of stuff so before we go into the apps let's dive into oh we go into the apps let's dive into oh we go into the apps let's dive into oh this is the edit homepage access later this is the edit homepage access later this is the edit homepage access later stuff out of here but let's add stuff out of here but let's add stuff out of here but let's add everything that we can to the uh home everything that we can to the uh home everything that we can to the uh home screen adjust it there we go so we do screen adjust it there we go so we do screen adjust it there we go so we do have a auto phone uh photo backup option have a auto phone uh photo backup option have a auto phone uh photo backup option so let's just go ahead and turn it on so let's just go ahead and turn it on so let's just go ahead and turn it on authoriz authoriz authoriz this so that's really nice I'm currently this so that's really nice I'm currently this so that's really nice I'm currently using image and for a while there I was using image and for a while there I was using image and for a while there I was using astrology photos so let's turn

  6. using astrology photos so let's turn using astrology photos so let's turn that on uh backup now to make this that on uh backup now to make this that on uh backup now to make this process go quicker I'll just select uh process go quicker I'll just select uh process go quicker I'll just select uh two smaller F folders backup two so this two smaller F folders backup two so this two smaller F folders backup two so this is the directory so let's um create a is the directory so let's um create a is the directory so let's um create a new directory for this this is our M2 new directory for this this is our M2 new directory for this this is our M2 pool so let's make a new folder and call pool so let's make a new folder and call pool so let's make a new folder and call this uh Galaxy this uh Galaxy this uh Galaxy s23 this is my first I'm using it so I s23 this is my first I'm using it so I s23 this is my first I'm using it so I don't know the uh kind of the best way don't know the uh kind of the best way don't know the uh kind of the best way to organize all this quite yet uh let's to organize all this quite yet uh let's to organize all this quite yet uh let's hit okay and backup now so there we go hit okay and backup now so there we go hit okay and backup now so there we go we have some things backed up I am we have some things backed up I am we have some things backed up I am curious if this will do this like curious if this will do this like curious if this will do this like automatically in the background for me automatically in the background for me automatically in the background for me or not but within the photo app we do or not but within the photo app we do or not but within the photo app we do have a couple different things uh have a couple different things uh have a couple different things uh obviously everything's out by date if we obviously everything's out by date if we obviously everything's out by date if we go albums you could create albums o auto go albums you could create albums o auto go albums you could create albums o auto backup of mob mobile photos so it's backup of mob mobile photos so it's backup of mob mobile photos so it's enabled sell your data so it does look enabled sell your data so it does look enabled sell your data so it does look like that is enabled whoa there we go I like that is enabled whoa there we go I like that is enabled whoa there we go I had to refresh it so pretty nice had to refresh it so pretty nice had to refresh it so pretty nice interface uh if we go AI here we have a interface uh if we go AI here we have a interface uh if we go AI here we have a mapping and smart recognition and then mapping and smart recognition and then mapping and smart recognition and then for settings auto backup a phone so that for settings auto backup a phone so that for settings auto backup a phone so that answers my question yes we can do that answers my question yes we can do that answers my question yes we can do that AI albums at the photo free up space AI albums at the photo free up space AI albums at the photo free up space wi-fi options sweet deal if we open up a wi-fi options sweet deal if we open up a wi-fi options sweet deal if we open up a photo this is a stack of Taiwanese cash photo this is a stack of Taiwanese cash photo this is a stack of Taiwanese cash uh looks like we can download share so uh looks like we can download share so uh looks like we can download share so if I hit share oh we have a password uh if I hit share oh we have a password uh if I hit share oh we have a password uh usage limit other settings expiration so usage limit other settings expiration so usage limit other settings expiration so a bunch of typical stuff that you'd a bunch of typical stuff that you'd a bunch of typical stuff that you'd expect from sharing on an Naz if I go to expect from sharing on an Naz if I go to expect from sharing on an Naz if I go to more we can rename it tags add the album more we can rename it tags add the album more we can rename it tags add the album detail so not a lot of features but detail so not a lot of features but detail so not a lot of features but enough for a pretty simple backup enough for a pretty simple backup enough for a pretty simple backup solution so before we get into anything

  7. solution so before we get into anything solution so before we get into anything else let's dive into settings here so we else let's dive into settings here so we else let's dive into settings here so we have the ud link external access which have the ud link external access which have the ud link external access which we've set up which doesn't seem there's we've set up which doesn't seem there's we've set up which doesn't seem there's much in here for settings yet we have much in here for settings yet we have much in here for settings yet we have our storage settings so here is our one our storage settings so here is our one our storage settings so here is our one uh storage pool if we go to uh UDR uh storage pool if we go to uh UDR uh storage pool if we go to uh UDR backup is this where we can select oh backup is this where we can select oh backup is this where we can select oh it's not showing my folder again this it's not showing my folder again this it's not showing my folder again this product isn't out yet so it's probably product isn't out yet so it's probably product isn't out yet so it's probably still work in progress external devices still work in progress external devices still work in progress external devices looks like we can add so usba type-c so looks like we can add so usba type-c so looks like we can add so usba type-c so pluging things into it flash drive mode pluging things into it flash drive mode pluging things into it flash drive mode so using it as a flash drive when so using it as a flash drive when so using it as a flash drive when connected to computer so so you can use connected to computer so so you can use connected to computer so so you can use this as a overbuilt uh external hard this as a overbuilt uh external hard this as a overbuilt uh external hard drive file and sharing settings we have drive file and sharing settings we have drive file and sharing settings we have SMB settings so we could set this up and SMB settings so we could set this up and SMB settings so we could set this up and then uh have uh remote access from other then uh have uh remote access from other then uh have uh remote access from other machines which is nice files and sharing machines which is nice files and sharing machines which is nice files and sharing everything is on by default they should everything is on by default they should everything is on by default they should probably turn them off by default so probably turn them off by default so probably turn them off by default so here right here this is Network the here right here this is Network the here right here this is Network the network settings one reason I really network settings one reason I really network settings one reason I really like this little build that I have here like this little build that I have here like this little build that I have here is with this little mini router it acts is with this little mini router it acts is with this little mini router it acts as a uh it's it's a router you has its as a uh it's it's a router you has its as a uh it's it's a router you has its own Wi-Fi network that you can connect own Wi-Fi network that you can connect own Wi-Fi network that you can connect to so even if there's no internet to so even if there's no internet to so even if there's no internet connection I could still use local connection I could still use local connection I could still use local Services that's on this Raspberry Pi and Services that's on this Raspberry Pi and Services that's on this Raspberry Pi and apparently it has similar functionality apparently it has similar functionality apparently it has similar functionality so we have our ipns configuration so so we have our ipns configuration so so we have our ipns configuration so there are port forwarding options so it there are port forwarding options so it there are port forwarding options so it looks like I can open up specific ports looks like I can open up specific ports looks like I can open up specific ports and host uh services from this if I go and host uh services from this if I go and host uh services from this if I go back configure Wi-Fi so I don't have to back configure Wi-Fi so I don't have to back configure Wi-Fi so I don't have to plug this in with the ethernet I can uh plug this in with the ethernet I can uh plug this in with the ethernet I can uh connect this to my actual home network

  8. connect this to my actual home network connect this to my actual home network Hardware indicator lights sleep settings Hardware indicator lights sleep settings Hardware indicator lights sleep settings right here UPS so these are our ups right here UPS so these are our ups right here UPS so these are our ups settings right now the batter's at 80% settings right now the batter's at 80% settings right now the batter's at 80% so we can do a safe shutdown uh 1 5 10 so we can do a safe shutdown uh 1 5 10 so we can do a safe shutdown uh 1 5 10 or 30 minutes prior to loss or battery or 30 minutes prior to loss or battery or 30 minutes prior to loss or battery below 15 which is my preference so if I below 15 which is my preference so if I below 15 which is my preference so if I get a little bit of extra life out of it get a little bit of extra life out of it get a little bit of extra life out of it that would be nice so that is enabled H that would be nice so that is enabled H that would be nice so that is enabled H we have a HDMI desktop so we could set we have a HDMI desktop so we could set we have a HDMI desktop so we could set up our wallpaper uh remote pairing up our wallpaper uh remote pairing up our wallpaper uh remote pairing options are here and then over here options are here and then over here options are here and then over here under file we have the group file under file we have the group file under file we have the group file permission so again stuff that you'd permission so again stuff that you'd permission so again stuff that you'd expect on a Nas like this so if I go new expect on a Nas like this so if I go new expect on a Nas like this so if I go new new group users group created would you new group users group created would you new group users group created would you like to set up permissions so here are like to set up permissions so here are like to set up permissions so here are the actual users there's no users so I the actual users there's no users so I the actual users there's no users so I can't add users to that group sharing can't add users to that group sharing can't add users to that group sharing settings sorting encryption settings uh settings sorting encryption settings uh settings sorting encryption settings uh personalization so user nickname home personalization so user nickname home personalization so user nickname home apps home panels add the home screen and apps home panels add the home screen and apps home panels add the home screen and service Control software updates so on service Control software updates so on service Control software updates so on and so forth so those are the settings and so forth so those are the settings and so forth so those are the settings now one thing I really hope that they now one thing I really hope that they now one thing I really hope that they eventually add is some kind of like a eventually add is some kind of like a eventually add is some kind of like a Docker support or a real nice way for Docker support or a real nice way for Docker support or a real nice way for third parties to uh develop applications third parties to uh develop applications third parties to uh develop applications for this that would be super cool cuz at for this that would be super cool cuz at for this that would be super cool cuz at least here I'm not seeing anything least here I'm not seeing anything least here I'm not seeing anything except for their integrated applications except for their integrated applications except for their integrated applications cuz if you could have like a little cuz if you could have like a little cuz if you could have like a little jelly fin server running up on this jelly fin server running up on this jelly fin server running up on this instead of having to use their HDMI that instead of having to use their HDMI that instead of having to use their HDMI that would be cool notepad looks pretty would be cool notepad looks pretty would be cool notepad looks pretty typical nothing too exciting user Center typical nothing too exciting user Center typical nothing too exciting user Center is where we actually create our users we is where we actually create our users we is where we actually create our users we have our monitor here so we could see have our monitor here so we could see have our monitor here so we could see what is going on processes CPU is about

  9. what is going on processes CPU is about what is going on processes CPU is about 10% on idle we can see temps and all 10% on idle we can see temps and all 10% on idle we can see temps and all that 102° fhe uh below 30 C or below 40 that 102° fhe uh below 30 C or below 40 that 102° fhe uh below 30 C or below 40 Celsius that's pretty good you do land Celsius that's pretty good you do land Celsius that's pretty good you do land speed tests and all kind of stuff speed tests and all kind of stuff speed tests and all kind of stuff through here that's pretty nice now through here that's pretty nice now through here that's pretty nice now right here this plug backup is kind of right here this plug backup is kind of right here this plug backup is kind of one of the main use cases here so this one of the main use cases here so this one of the main use cases here so this is just plugging in SD card and it is just plugging in SD card and it is just plugging in SD card and it basically just does a copy of everything basically just does a copy of everything basically just does a copy of everything over to the devic's internal storage over to the devic's internal storage over to the devic's internal storage that you have so if I enable that Source that you have so if I enable that Source that you have so if I enable that Source we have any uh SD we have a storage path we have any uh SD we have a storage path we have any uh SD we have a storage path here scope eject and we could do tasks here scope eject and we could do tasks here scope eject and we could do tasks there's none running right now so let's there's none running right now so let's there's none running right now so let's actually test this out so real quick I actually test this out so real quick I actually test this out so real quick I did decide to move this back over here did decide to move this back over here did decide to move this back over here by me all I needed to do was uh connect by me all I needed to do was uh connect by me all I needed to do was uh connect to the Wi-Fi and it was actually a to the Wi-Fi and it was actually a to the Wi-Fi and it was actually a pretty straightforward process all I do pretty straightforward process all I do pretty straightforward process all I do go through the settings well actually go through the settings well actually go through the settings well actually since I unplugged it from ethernet it since I unplugged it from ethernet it since I unplugged it from ethernet it couldn't Discover it so I logged out on couldn't Discover it so I logged out on couldn't Discover it so I logged out on the app and then I reconnected to it got the app and then I reconnected to it got the app and then I reconnected to it got the Bluetooth connection there's a the Bluetooth connection there's a the Bluetooth connection there's a little button on the side just tapped little button on the side just tapped little button on the side just tapped that and it connected up set up Wi-Fi so that and it connected up set up Wi-Fi so that and it connected up set up Wi-Fi so now this thing is connected to a now this thing is connected to a now this thing is connected to a wireless network now one thing that I wireless network now one thing that I wireless network now one thing that I want to test out while we're here is the want to test out while we're here is the want to test out while we're here is the plug backup this thing right here so the plug backup this thing right here so the plug backup this thing right here so the ability just to plug in like an SD card ability just to plug in like an SD card ability just to plug in like an SD card and have it automatically back up so and have it automatically back up so and have it automatically back up so here we have the app it's already here we have the app it's already here we have the app it's already enabled we already have directories and enabled we already have directories and enabled we already have directories and all that set up set up so all I'm going all that set up set up so all I'm going all that set up set up so all I'm going to do I have an SD card here I just to do I have an SD card here I just to do I have an SD card here I just threw a couple sample Clips on it I'm threw a couple sample Clips on it I'm threw a couple sample Clips on it I'm going to plug in the U SSD so Boop I going to plug in the U SSD so Boop I going to plug in the U SSD so Boop I heard a beep just a single beep it says

  10. heard a beep just a single beep it says heard a beep just a single beep it says wait 5 Seconds we'll start the backup wait 5 Seconds we'll start the backup wait 5 Seconds we'll start the backup process um after two short beeps so I process um after two short beeps so I process um after two short beeps so I think the beep was saying that the think the beep was saying that the think the beep was saying that the device is connected so now it says to device is connected so now it says to device is connected so now it says to press the uh plug backup button twice press the uh plug backup button twice press the uh plug backup button twice which is that button right there on the which is that button right there on the which is that button right there on the other side so I'm going to double press other side so I'm going to double press other side so I'm going to double press it two beeps means that it's beginning it two beeps means that it's beginning it two beeps means that it's beginning the backup process and when it does uh the backup process and when it does uh the backup process and when it does uh three beeps that means the backup three beeps that means the backup three beeps that means the backup process is complete there we go we can see that a complete there we go we can see that a backup started today moved over just backup started today moved over just backup started today moved over just about a gigabyte of stuff so now if I go about a gigabyte of stuff so now if I go about a gigabyte of stuff so now if I go back to home and then I go to my files back to home and then I go to my files back to home and then I go to my files we can see I have the Galaxy that we we can see I have the Galaxy that we we can see I have the Galaxy that we created and plug backup so if I open up created and plug backup so if I open up created and plug backup so if I open up this you can see it just makes a folder this you can see it just makes a folder this you can see it just makes a folder with the Tim stamp now it can't see like with the Tim stamp now it can't see like with the Tim stamp now it can't see like previously synced files so every time previously synced files so every time previously synced files so every time you run that it's going to make a new you run that it's going to make a new you run that it's going to make a new folder with a exact copy of everything folder with a exact copy of everything folder with a exact copy of everything that's on the SSD and if I open that up that's on the SSD and if I open that up that's on the SSD and if I open that up uh generic mass storage we could see uh generic mass storage we could see uh generic mass storage we could see what I moved so two videos and if I open what I moved so two videos and if I open what I moved so two videos and if I open one I can play it directly from here one I can play it directly from here one I can play it directly from here which is super super cool so yeah that's which is super super cool so yeah that's which is super super cool so yeah that's the nice little backup process now one the nice little backup process now one the nice little backup process now one thing I want to do is I want to set this thing I want to do is I want to set this thing I want to do is I want to set this folder to be part of the uh kind of folder to be part of the uh kind of folder to be part of the uh kind of parody raid one or their version of raid parody raid one or their version of raid parody raid one or their version of raid one system so I'm curious on how to do one system so I'm curious on how to do one system so I'm curious on how to do that just seeing if there's an option that just seeing if there's an option that just seeing if there's an option here in settings which it doesn't look here in settings which it doesn't look here in settings which it doesn't look like it so we're going to actually go like it so we're going to actually go like it so we're going to actually go back to home settings going to go to our back to home settings going to go to our back to home settings going to go to our storage settings this one right here and

  11. storage settings this one right here and storage settings this one right here and a UDR backup oh it doesn't see any of a UDR backup oh it doesn't see any of a UDR backup oh it doesn't see any of the content yet hm so I'm not sure why the content yet hm so I'm not sure why the content yet hm so I'm not sure why that is um hopefully that's just a that is um hopefully that's just a that is um hopefully that's just a temporary thing or I'm doing it wrong I temporary thing or I'm doing it wrong I temporary thing or I'm doing it wrong I am curious to the interface that's on am curious to the interface that's on am curious to the interface that's on the actual uh through the HDMI so I got the actual uh through the HDMI so I got the actual uh through the HDMI so I got a capture card here let's see if we a capture card here let's see if we a capture card here let's see if we could get this working hey there we go could get this working hey there we go could get this working hey there we go to use this feature please confirm by to use this feature please confirm by to use this feature please confirm by going to the mobile app how the hell do going to the mobile app how the hell do going to the mobile app how the hell do I scan with the mobile app um oh there I scan with the mobile app um oh there I scan with the mobile app um oh there it is little tiny button right it is little tiny button right it is little tiny button right there there there Boop uh Boop uh Boop uh authorize hey there we go so I need to authorize hey there we go so I need to authorize hey there we go so I need to set up this remote to use this here I set up this remote to use this here I set up this remote to use this here I might be able to use a keyboard and might be able to use a keyboard and might be able to use a keyboard and mouse but might as well use what they mouse but might as well use what they mouse but might as well use what they give me it's not automatically give me it's not automatically give me it's not automatically synced let's go to the user synced let's go to the user synced let's go to the user manual virtual Android I think that's manual virtual Android I think that's manual virtual Android I think that's like a coming soon type thing oh look at like a coming soon type thing oh look at like a coming soon type thing oh look at that it's compatible with uh well of that it's compatible with uh well of that it's compatible with uh well of course it is but uh like VR and AR course it is but uh like VR and AR course it is but uh like VR and AR headsets I'm a big fan of those I just headsets I'm a big fan of those I just headsets I'm a big fan of those I just did a video on the gruvis art and Max I did a video on the gruvis art and Max I did a video on the gruvis art and Max I recommend you check that out again the recommend you check that out again the recommend you check that out again the manual here is pretty extensive even manual here is pretty extensive even manual here is pretty extensive even covering like frequently asked questions covering like frequently asked questions covering like frequently asked questions and things like that so so it says our and things like that so so it says our and things like that so so it says our Bluetooth thing is going to be solid red Bluetooth thing is going to be solid red Bluetooth thing is going to be solid red which it is currently to start the which it is currently to start the which it is currently to start the pairing oh there it goes pairing oh there it goes pairing oh there it goes whoa back hey sweet deal so if we go whoa back hey sweet deal so if we go whoa back hey sweet deal so if we go files hey look at that we could browse files hey look at that we could browse files hey look at that we could browse our files so Galaxy boom boom uh

  12. our files so Galaxy boom boom uh our files so Galaxy boom boom uh Snapchat sweet cool so you can view all Snapchat sweet cool so you can view all Snapchat sweet cool so you can view all your pictures this way let's go back out your pictures this way let's go back out your pictures this way let's go back out let's check out their media viewer so if let's check out their media viewer so if let's check out their media viewer so if I go movies here H it's empty I'm not I go movies here H it's empty I'm not I go movies here H it's empty I'm not sure how to configure that properly but sure how to configure that properly but sure how to configure that properly but if we play a video so if I go to my plug if we play a video so if I go to my plug if we play a video so if I go to my plug backup which is what we just did and backup which is what we just did and backup which is what we just did and then I play this gecom video hello then I play this gecom video hello then I play this gecom video hello everybody this is tekka and this video everybody this is tekka and this video everybody this is tekka and this video what we're doing is checking out the what we're doing is checking out the what we're doing is checking out the gecom gecom gecom GT1 Mega while we are going to highlight GT1 Mega while we are going to highlight GT1 Mega while we are going to highlight this Mini PC my main oh there it goes so this Mini PC my main oh there it goes so this Mini PC my main oh there it goes so yeah we can skip through here uh we have yeah we can skip through here uh we have yeah we can skip through here uh we have the speed of playback a menu so you load the speed of playback a menu so you load the speed of playback a menu so you load up subtitles and various audio tracks up subtitles and various audio tracks up subtitles and various audio tracks really simple interface but it does what really simple interface but it does what really simple interface but it does what it needs to do so what option do we have it needs to do so what option do we have it needs to do so what option do we have in settings here so exit Wi-Fi lock in settings here so exit Wi-Fi lock in settings here so exit Wi-Fi lock screen privacy and shutdown so not much screen privacy and shutdown so not much screen privacy and shutdown so not much so at least based on my initial so at least based on my initial so at least based on my initial Impressions this is a pretty cool device Impressions this is a pretty cool device Impressions this is a pretty cool device again uh one I wish the battery was again uh one I wish the battery was again uh one I wish the battery was larger so then you can use it on battery larger so then you can use it on battery larger so then you can use it on battery for longer periods of time uh I do hope for longer periods of time uh I do hope for longer periods of time uh I do hope that they eventually add a dock support that they eventually add a dock support that they eventually add a dock support or again at least a couple third party or again at least a couple third party or again at least a couple third party applications Plex jelly Fin and other applications Plex jelly Fin and other applications Plex jelly Fin and other tools that may be helpful for this kind tools that may be helpful for this kind tools that may be helpful for this kind of a scenario such as a like a zim file of a scenario such as a like a zim file of a scenario such as a like a zim file viewer maybe like open map data that viewer maybe like open map data that viewer maybe like open map data that would be super cool basically things would be super cool basically things would be super cool basically things that I'm using this for as just a backup that I'm using this for as just a backup that I'm using this for as just a backup device especially once they get the device especially once they get the device especially once they get the cloud stuff working this is really

  13. cloud stuff working this is really cloud stuff working this is really really cool really make sure you got really cool really make sure you got really cool really make sure you got those files backed up and secured so those files backed up and secured so those files backed up and secured so you're not sitting there with like just you're not sitting there with like just you're not sitting there with like just a uh SD card with a uh SD card with a uh SD card with everything that's important to you just everything that's important to you just everything that's important to you just on that but yeah I'll link to this down on that but yeah I'll link to this down on that but yeah I'll link to this down below if you want to check out their below if you want to check out their below if you want to check out their Kickstarter page in addition to their Kickstarter page in addition to their Kickstarter page in addition to their website and with all that I do hope you website and with all that I do hope you website and with all that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and have an absolutely beautiful day and have an absolutely beautiful day and goodbye

Summary

The video introduces the UniFi Drive UT2, a portable NAS with a built-in UPS and networking capabilities, marketed towards videographers and photographers for complex backup solutions. Key features include an ARM system, CF card slot adapter, HDMI out, and a remote, though a significant drawback is its limited battery life of approximately one hour. The takeaway is that while offering advanced portability for data backup, users should be aware of its power limitations.
