Now is the era of big data, the vast majority of people every day will produce a lot of data, including photos, video data accounted for the vast majority of the data, a lot of data accumulated more and more, but also do not want to delete, often many users will be deposited into the network disk. However, in the net disk really do not worry, like the 360 cloud disk, said off on the shutdown, many users did not have time to download the data inside the information on the data to the empty. Now survives Baidu cloud disk, but the space is limited, uploading and downloading also need to buy a membership in order to achieve the ideal transmission speed, of course, there is also the risk of data leakage. For a variety of reasons, people are now more in favor of NAS private cloud this kind of equipment. The advantages of cloud storage are scalability, off-site management, rapid deployment, and lower upfront costs, which are gradually being recognized by businesses and individual users.
Currently there are two types of NAS solutions, one is to directly purchase the finished NAS device, the other is to buy their own hardware assembly, and then brush the specialized NAS system. The former is suitable for entry-level personal, home users, the latter is suitable for geeky players who like to toss. Today I'm bringing a NAS product that has just hit the market, the Hikvision Storage G1 Master, which not only supports remote downloads, multi-device logins, and automatic backups, but also has a very affordable price tag.
Let's take a look at the following time.
Simple unboxing:
It's packaged in a black cardboard box, with the Hikvision G1 Master on the front cover, which looks very compact and metallic, with the G1 on the top of the cover standing out.
Because it is a crowdfunded product, when you open the product, you will see a cardboard with a thank-you note to MiFan, which instantly makes you feel very cozy. Underneath the cardboard is the accessory box, and underneath the accessory box is the main unit of the Hikvision G1 Master.
Let's go straight to the family photo, we can see that the largest is the Hikvision G1 Master's mainframe, accessories for users to prepare a power adapter, a cable. Then there is a manual, which describes in detail the relevant methods of use, be sure to read it before use and then start. After a brief unboxing, the following time we look at the details of the Hikvision G1 Master.
Details:
This Hikvision G1 Master has a body size of 206x148x47 (mm), which is about the same size as a large, thick dictionary. Its body is made of 6 series aluminum alloy material and plastic material assembled composition. The top cover is aluminum alloy and the bottom cover is plastic, which ensures heat dissipation and also reduces the weight of the body.
Previously known as Hikvision's MAGE 10 product, comes with a hard disk does not support self-removal and replacement, the appearance is more like a book, vertical placement. The G1 Master, as the latest series of Hikvon storage, no longer continues the previous design, but adopts a horizontal layout. The front of the body has the HIKSEMI brand logo using laser laser, which is highly recognizable.
The left and right sides of the fuselage have a slanted grille design, with air vents on the left and air inlets on the right. The air vents in the color scheme is still a bit of thought, using yellow and black collocation, the left side in order to cater to the right side, the power switch is designed in yellow. The right side is not just the air intake, it is also the location of the hard disk compartment, and the yellow area is the snap-on hatch for the hard disk compartment.
The I/O area of this Hikvision G1 Master is located on the back of the chassis, where the aluminum alloy case is hollowed out, presenting an irregular shape that echoes the aluminum alloy case where it fits into the plastic case, making the most of the geometric lines.
What are the ports? From left to right, they are: 12V DC power socket, Gigabit Adaptive RJ45 wired network interface, USB 3.0 interface, Type-C interface, and then Reset reset port. The USB 3.0 interface and Type-C interface can be used to expand external devices, such as mobile hard disk, U disk, etc.. It is also worth mentioning that it supports access to a UPS power bank, which protects the hard drive during power outages and reduces the risk of data loss.
Then look at the bottom of the body, the full-plane design, the center is the product nameplate, the four corners of the location of the design of non-slip feet, placed on the do surface is very smooth. And when working, it also counteracts the slight vibration of the hard drive rotation.
Next, I'll talk about how to install the hard drive. The yellow area on the right is the hard drive bay door, which is a snap-on design that allows you to pull the hard drive tray out by flicking your finger on the snap switch. This hard drive tray supports 3.5-inch hard drives and 2.5-inch hard drives for solid state drives, making it easy for users to choose.
Remove the quick release strips on the left and right sides of the tray, snap the hard drive into the tray, and then snap the quick release strips into the screw holes on both sides of the hard drive to complete the installation, which is very easy. After installing the hard disk, and then snap the hard disk into the host, most of the work is completed! The next step is to power it up and experience it!
Experience sharing:
Officially, Seagate recommends the Coolwolf hard drive, and this time I chose the 4T hard drive. Users familiar with Seagate know that the Coolwolf series is a NAS-specific disk, with stable operation, long life, quiet and other characteristics, favored by users. Of course other series of hard disk at home are also available. It can support up to 8TB capacity hard disk, which is enough for home use.
Hikvision G1 Master core hardware, equipped with a quad-core processor, the main frequency of 1.4GHz, its chip AI computing power of 0.75TOPS, compared to other series of products in the family, computing power to enhance the 25%, greatly enhanced the ability to identify the photographs, as well as the reasonable optimization of space capacity.
Instead of the traditional and common LED indicators, Hikvon G1 Master is designed with a longer light band at the lower edge of the front panel. When the drive is not activated, it appears in red, and when it is activated for normal use, it appears in yellow, making it easy for users to distinguish its status.
After powering up the device, we need to scan the QR code above the manual to download the relevant software, which is called "Hikvision Smart Storage". After entering the software, there will be a tutorial guide to connect the device, the most foolproof way is to click start searching, it will automatically find the device.
After entering the software, one of the first things to do is to format the hard disk in order to use it normally. 4T hard disk formatting is still very fast, after the formatting is completed, all the functions can be used normally. In the storage management, you can see the 4T hard disk capacity, the actual only 3.6T, within a reasonable range. I uploaded all the photos in the phone after using 1.9G, which is just a drop in the bucket.
Let's take a look at the software interface and the distribution of functions. The top of the home page of commonly used functions of the shortcut keys, mainly including photos, videos, baby albums, contacts synchronization, video surveillance, offline downloads and so on. There are three categories at the bottom, namely Home, Files and My. Clicking on Photos will take you to the preview page of all photos, where you can view them by timeline, or by face , location.
In the Smart Life section, clicking on More allows you to install a variety of commonly used software to expand functionality. In addition to the existing baby albums, contacts synchronization, users can also add Baidu.com disk, play things to download, offline downloads and so on.
In addition, it also has a photo, video and other resources sharing function, in the preview of the photo interface, click on the lower-left corner of the share function can be shared to WeChat, QQ, circle of friends and other platforms, you can also directly share the link and poster. It's a great alternative to a netbook or something like that.
In Files, you can see my backups, downloaded files, and individually uploaded files. After installing Baidu Cloud Drive and logging in to your account, you can download your Baidu Cloud Drive data to G1 Master, and there's a separate folder for that, so it's easy to find. For example, in the Device Status option, we can see the device's CPU and memory utilization, upload and download rates, as well as the device's current operating temperature, fan speed, and so on, which is very comprehensive. Secondly, it is worth mentioning that it also supports Samba, AFP and DLNA three regional network **** enjoyment mode, my home is a millet TV, with Samba mode, so that the NAS inside the film and television resources can be directly in the TV side of the watch, do not have to use the U disk back and forth to paste copy to watch, save a lot of heart.
Haikang G1 Master in addition to support for cell phone mobile APP, it also supports PC computer, but you need to get the download link through the cell phone to download, this point I think it adds a lot of security, only the user of the device to know where to download the desktop version.
The desktop version of the function is relatively simple, the interface of the software is also very simple. It includes My Space, ****Space, Encrypted Space, My Shares, and Transfer Lists, as well as a simple toolbox.
In My Space, you can see the files you've backed up and the files you've downloaded. Take my backup files as an example, and when you tap on it, you can see all the backups on your phone, which are in separate folders according to when they were taken, making it easier to find them. It would have been a headache and time-consuming to manually categorize them.
On the PC, file sharing is also supported, with 1-day, 7-day, and permanent sharing, so you can create a link and share it with friends and family who want to share. In My Shares, you can also view the sharing details of each file, and of course, users can cancel the sharing.
I usually like to watch some movies on my TV, and the process is still a bit cumbersome when the computer downloads a copy of the movie to a USB flash drive and inserts it into the TV so that I can watch it. This is a great way to get the most out of your PC, and it's a great way to get the most out of your system.
By the way, I tested the LAN transfer speed, and I can see that the upload speed is 112.3MB/s, and the transfer is very stable, a 2.4G movie, more than 10 seconds to finish uploading, which shows that Hikvision G1 Master is fully capable of running a full Gigabit network.
It also has an exclusive private space, the first time you use it, you need to set up an encryption password, you can put some private photos, videos, and important information in it, which is much safer than in the network disk, and uploading and downloading is also convenient, but there is no risk of leakage. The computer side of the function is relatively single, compared to the mobile side of a lot of less practical functions and plug-ins, the follow-up should be through the software update to gradually improve.
Well the above is about the use of this Hikvision Storage G1 Master share, I do not know how you like this NAS cloud storage device? Finally, I will briefly summarize a few words.
Write in the end:
About the price, the single device without hard disk is priced at only 499 yuan, in the NAS camp, such a price is really fragrant, with a hard disk can be set up home NAS, the data exists at home is not better.
