<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > some bits and pieces</h1>
As we all know, the chain of contempt is not real, but it can be felt in all aspects of life. Those who play the host look down on playing computers, and those who watch American dramas and British dramas look down on domestic dramas. To tell a joke, the first time I used an NFC mobile phone to open the iron door of the community, there is a sense of superiority explosion, haha, with the habit of feeling that the previous mentality is particularly shabi.
Although the nas circle is niche, there is also this chain. For example, unRAID, FreeNAS, PVE users will despise Synology Unicom, White Synology Unicom despises Black Synology Unicom, Black Synology Unicom despises Windows Server, the recently popular light NAS is in the downstream of the contempt chain, and its lower status should be the type of router insert U disk.
Basically, this chain of contempt is based on the criteria of difficulty, scalability, and versatility.
However, I think this kind of thinking is not necessary, different systems, different hardware, different ways of using different needs. For example, you need to install a computer to type when writing an article, a thousand yuan machine can meet your needs, but suddenly a person next to you, a strong spit performance is too low, playability is not high, hardware is now discounting a lot of bargains Barabala. Persuade you to increase the budget, at this time you are not very entangled, the other party is very reasonable, but you really do not need such a high performance.
The same is true in the NAS field, for players who like to toss, the higher the configuration, the richer the playability, the better, but for most users, the real need is still only a "storage backup", the private photos and data documents they value in their own hands, not only to avoid being strangled by cloud space manufacturers, but also to better protect personal privacy.
So, I've been talking about the word "positioning." The launch of a product, the manufacturer must have done countless research behind the scenes, the purpose must also be to meet the specific needs of the group. As for whether to cut the user's pulse door, it depends on the market reaction, not you think it is useless to use this product. The market is the touchstone for testing products, and this sentence is not deceiving me.
G1 Master Memory Master, this is the network memory that Hikvision has just launched. As a model that locates portable storage, I am curious about the difference between it and the mobile hard disk, and what are the suitable users? I hope this article can give you some understanding.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > start with the appearance</h1>
▼ Packaging G1 Master memory master is not special, the front and back of the pure black background, the back is mainly production information and product parameters, the front is also very simple, is the G1 Master body product map. However, this perspective is a bit weird, and at first glance it doesn't look like a NAS at all, but more like an SSD SSD.
▼ Skip the packaging and look directly at the family portrait. Including G1 Master Memory Master body, power adapter, network cable, quick guide and warranty card into one, G1 Master Memory Master is a crowdfunding opened in Youpin, so there is also a card specially thanked for rice noodles.
▼The power adapter supports a voltage range of 100~240V and an output of 12V/1.5A, and the manufacturer is Moso Power Technology Co., Ltd. It is a professional power foundry manufacturer, a listed company (stock code: 002660), and one of Hikvision's long-term partners.
▼ The G1 Master Memory Master is a long box with two layers. The silver material is 6 series aluminum alloy, and the black material is V0 flame retardant shell. 6 series aluminum alloy has strong corrosion resistance, good oxidation effect, delicate and comfortable touch, and the unique texture of the alloy also gives people a very comfortable visual feeling. The next layer is a V0 grade polymer, the so-called V0 level is the highest grade in the fire rating UL94, the requirement is two combustion tests, the flame on the sample must be extinguished within 10S, and no incenum can fall.
▼ This silver and black color is still quite beautiful, the PC material reduces the overall weight, and the outer layer of aluminum alloy has a certain degree of protection, combining lightness and solidity. The overall weight is 904g, which is also more convenient to carry.
▼The interface is concentrated on the side, from left to right, the 12V DC power interface, the Gigabit LAN port, the USB 3.2 Gen1 interface, the TYPE-C interface, and the RESET reset button.
▼ On the other side, it is exactly the same as the product rendering, only a Hikvision "HIKSEMI" mark (Hikvision's high-end storage brand).
▼ The color of the hard disk compartment is bright yellow, no screw quick release design, moving the snap can pull out the hard disk. A Seagate Coyote 4TB I use here is also a NAS dedicated hard drive that everyone respects. Of course, if you feel that the 3.5-inch hard disk is too heavy, you can also use the 2.5-inch hard disk, and the bracket supports the fixation of two kinds of hard disks.
▼ From this angle you can see the internal circuit board, the workmanship is still very good, the upper side of the circuit board has a shield cover, the hard disk compartment is also lifted by the iron sheet, and the lower circuit board has a certain distance to help air circulation. There is also a small fan at the lower end, and the hard disk compartment is judged from the fan blade as the air intake.
▼ The entire surface of the front should be an air outlet, and the diagonally arranged partitions have a certain prevention against the entry of dust. The yellow triangle is the switch of the machine, which is quite eye-catching.
▼ The four rubber feet at the bottom have a stable grip, while raising the fuselage to leave space to help dissipate heat, the rubber material also has a certain cushioning effect when the machine is running. In the middle are some parameters and the QR code for downloading the APP.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > hands-on experience without learning costs</h1>
▼ The G1 Master is still quite compelling on the desktop, and the shape is difficult to think of a private cloud disk. Incidentally, a light will light up at the bottom when the machine is running. When not activated, flash red light, normal connection flash yellow light, this light state can also be turned off in the APP.
▼ The G1 Master uses the network cable to access the LAN boot, scan the instruction manual QR code to download the "Hikvision Smart Storage" APP and open, you can immediately find the device, click OK to complete the device binding. This is arguably the easiest private cloud disk connection process I've ever used.
▼The main interface is divided into three sections, namely [Home], [Documents], and [My]. At this point we haven't set up disk space yet, and most of the features can't be used.
▼ Enter [My] - [Device Management], here is the core of the entire cloud disk, enter [Storage Management], you can see that G1 Master has recognized the 4T cool wolf I use, click format to complete the disk creation.
There is a small detail that the sms verification code must be submitted to format the disk, which can not only allow the user to have a short period of regret process, but also play a good protection for data security. You don't want to experience the pain of being careless or hand-down to this option to format data right now.
▼【Device Status】You can view cpu/memory usage, upload/download speed, current temperature, fan speed, etc., basically at a glance. G1 Master also supports [UPS uninterruptible power supply], [Hardware and System] can turn on/off the device indicator, restart and shut down the device is also in this position.
In fact, I think it is more convenient to restart and shut down the device should be placed in the main interface, after all, it is a common function, and I don't know if the subsequent version update will change.
▼ [LAN Management] includes three ways of LAN sharing, in addition to the common SAMBA and DLNA sharing, there is also a rare support for AFP sharing, which is more common among MAC users. SAMBA does not need to mention, play KODI know this protocol.
▼[Backup management] is the most important function of private cloud disk, G1 Master in addition to the common mobile phone content backup (independently choose the folder that needs to be backed up), but also support WeChat and U disk one-click backup,
WeChat can be said to be the program that occupies the largest memory of the mobile phone, and if it is not cleaned up for a long time, it can be said that it occupies space. For example, my mobile phone is often cleaned up, occupying 17G of space, I think many people probably don't know how to clean up the WeChat space. (WeChat -I-Settings-General-WeChat storage space). After the backup is over, you can clean up the occupied space on WeChat, and this step can free up a lot of phone memory.
▼ The backup photos and videos have a separate category page on the home page, and the progress of the backup is also clear here. The speed of the backup depends on the speed of the LAN, and it is also possible to use the traffic backup outside. And this is where the G1 Master's portable NAS surpasses the home NAS.
▼ After the photo backup is complete, we can view it by timeline or in the smart category. The intelligent classification nature of G1 Master is the same as That of Moments and Qumagie, classifying people and places, and clicking on the arranged people or places can enter a separate folder containing these elements, which is convenient for users to quickly access relevant photos.
By the way, one thing that needs to be emphasized is that the G1 Master has a built-in independent AI SoC, which is designed to process photos, so there are still great advantages in photo organization.
▼ [Baby Album] Users with small babies at home are expected to like this feature provided by G1 Master. Daily you can consciously store your baby's photos in this directory, which will automatically form a timeline according to age. According to my estimation, the original intention of this function is to create a photo album exclusive to the baby, which means that there can only be photos of the baby. However, the baby is often held by the family when he is a child, and there are few single photos, even if the older ones take a group photo with the family, because the body size is too small, it will not be recognized as the main body by the system AI. If you apply the previous character classification results, there will be a lot of fish that have slipped through the net, which leads to a low degree of automation of this function, and the photos need to be uploaded by themselves and cannot be automatically classified. I hope it will be improved in the future.
▼ Click the upper right corner to cast the screen, such as the HOTEL TV or when giving a demonstration to customers.
▼ In addition to the regular automatic backup of photos and videos, G1 Master also supports manual backup of files and folders, and the "+" sign in the lower right corner of the main interface can complete this operation, and the sharing function can greatly improve work efficiency. For example, I copied a large file on a customer's computer that needs to be processed immediately. At this time, I can upload the file directly to the G1 Master (it doesn't matter if I am not around), and then share the connection with my colleagues in the office after the upload is completed, and they can operate it immediately.
▼ More functions are reflected in the G1 Master using plug-in methods. However, now the online time is too short, there are not many supported plug-ins, and the more commonly used is the download class, like the Baidu network disk, offline download and plaything download that everyone is more familiar with.
▼ Try it with the Baidu network disk that everyone is most interested in. Logging in to your Baidu account can be downloaded directly, but the download speed is also subject to membership. From the test speed point of view is much faster than the computer side of a few K per second, and the advantage of downloading with light NAS is that it can be 24 hours uninterrupted, fine water and long stream, and the file is pulled down no matter how large.
▼ Offline download is much better, not only support the common HTTP, HTTPS, FTP download, but also support magnetic chain and upload BT torrent P2P download, this download speed is very powerful, such as I paste the movie magnetic chain casually, the download speed directly flying.
▼ [Plaything Download] I use less, generally speaking, Baidu Cloud, Thunderbolt and PT almost all of my download channels. And [Dapeng speed up] this kind of speed up APP that needs to be charged I don't have any needs, the interface shows you.
▼ [Video surveillance] This is a feature that I am very optimistic about, saving surveillance video in my own hands, which not only reduces the cost of cloud saving, but also avoids the hidden danger of privacy leakage. But the actual test down, I have at hand 360 and Chuangmi Xiaobai can not be connected, after consulting Hikvision's customer service staff, the other party feedback this function is achieved through samba, such as millet, and Hikvision's own camera series, I don't know if the follow-up update will change.
Let's take a look at the PC experience.
▼G1 Master computer application is [Hikvision private cloud disk], the main interface is still relatively simple, here you can directly view the content of the cloud disk, you can also directly carry out two-way transmission and sharing functions and so on. The [security lock] in the lower right corner can be locked with one click, and if you want to use it, you must scan the QR code with the APP to unlock it, which allows the user to temporarily leave without unplugging the cloud disk, which plays a role in privacy protection.
▼ After connecting to the LAN, I can already see the G1 Master in my computer-network, and after entering, the relevant directories will be mapped as network drives, and then you can operate directly like the local hard disk.
▼In terms of speed, the speed of the Gigabit Ethernet port is fully up to standard, and the whole process is maintained above 110MB/S, and the transmission is stable.
▼The [auto backup] on the computer side feels more practical. After the backup folder is set, the new contents of the folder are automatically synchronized to the G1 Master. Imagine such a scenario, set the folder where the work file is saved to be automatically backed up, leave directly after work, go home and connect to the cloud disk to continue, and don't worry about the regret that the results of long work cannot be extracted because of power failure and hard disk damage.
▼ Temperature and power consumption were measured by the way, after all, ARM core, this is its strength. 5 hours of uninterrupted operation, aluminum alloy shell with hand touch can still clearly feel the heat, measured about 35 °, the ambient temperature of about 30 °, compared to the 4 ° of the lift is completely qualified. In terms of power consumption, the daily cost is less than 9W, high-speed replication is about 10W, and the power consumption is more than 80 degrees a year in 10W, and there is almost no cost of use.
If you use a network cloud disk, the cost of one month is estimated to catch up with the electricity bill of 1 year, and the data is still kept in the hands of others, private privacy is not guaranteed, and it is extremely inconvenient to use.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="50" > how to see the G1 Master memory master</h1>
After the previous series of tests, I think it is not necessary to say more, everyone should understand the selling point of this private cloud disk.
Ready to use without learning costs, quick and convenient automatic storage of private materials, high-intensity privacy protection capabilities, whether it is private photos, work documents or chat records worth saving, G1 Master Memory Master can help you. To put it bluntly, the money of a few more cloud disk members can start a G1, and the security is not as high as G1.
Just like that, to sum up the applicable user groups, if you just want to start a network memory to back up private data, do not want to spend too much energy to learn, then this G1 Master memory master is undoubtedly a very good choice, but if you have more pursuits, such as want to play docker, run virtual machines, then it is more appropriate to see Hikvision advanced version of the page20 or your own group of NAS.
PS: for film and television lovers to say a few words, if you have hamster disease like me, love to download a variety of high-definition videos, the pursuit of high-quality video appreciation, keen to build a film and television warehouse, G1 Master memory master is fully able to meet the requirements, with KODI can also build a perfect film and television wall. In terms of film source, G1's built-in multiple download methods can also be easily and quickly downloaded, but G1 Master Memory Master does not support docker and does not have related PT plug-ins, and it is impossible to use it to hang PT. Of course, if you use magnetic chains, BT torrents, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or Baidu network disks every day, it will have no impact.
