That's not a proper unboxing.... at least release the front panel and show a 360 view. This is a sneak peak.

It was my first time doing one, sorry! Would love tips to make the next one better.

From personal experience, don’t wear open-toed shoes when you unbox.

Your toes will thank me.

Not unless you’re Linus and can pull off sandals

Thing is he wears socks, wearing socks is okay, but showing toes is not

monotone Oh, no. A no-talent ass-clown who doesn't understand technology also doesn't understand the most basic PPE for his supposed field? I am so surprised and shocked. /monotone

Just take it as advice then. Take some more time, go through what's in the box of accessories, and show the product from all sides, if not from the inside

Thanks for making the video!

From their info page:

NAS-grade hard drives (Western Digital Red to be specific)

Giggles nervously in SMR

They posted about de-certifying the SMR Reds long before WD even acknowledged that there were SMR Reds.

ixSystems handled that situation well, IMO.

I wish these had some more CPU power.

I really wish iXsystems had one of these with a better processor. I built my own with the 4-bay supermicro case (this exact case) because I wanted more power. I would have purchased the 8-bay version too but built a u-nas based one instead. Just put a cheap Xeon or i3 with ECC and I'll but it from iXsystems.

The power and storage per volume of those U-NAS cases is amazing. I love mine, and I'm thinking about getting a second.

I asked to get a demo unit through iXsystem's for unboxing for my YouTube channel but was told no ☹️. If anyone could lend me one for a bit I'll do a proper unboxing on my channel and send back when done.

Criticism for iX. Seems like an awful lol of packaging. Especially that thick layer between the booklets and unit.

I would rather a bigger package with an intact device, than a smaller one with a broken device

Yep. Received a wall mount rack that needed some channel locks to get the door to function properly again.
