"The world is big, theirs will be divided, and it must be in the computer industry." With the development of technology, from the initial large machine, the workstation to the personal computer to the current popular cloud, the calculation has also completed a change in the re-point change. The concept of cloud is increasing, and the most visited ordinary consumers may be a service such as a network disk or a cloud disk, which has indeed brought great convenience. However, all things share the clouds are always a bit after a little, many of the many desirable or private documents are often stored in the hard disk or U disk.
With the popularity of mobile devices, there are various devices that can be internet access, and our data is also fragmented, and data stored in a variety of devices and backup is a headache problem. Uploaded to the network disk is not very assured, the mobile hard disk is too inconvenient, if there is a private cloud storage, the security can access the same data, back up our important data, implement multi-screen unity, not very Is it ideal? Recently, the pavilion received the latest cloud storage product Witflex. There is currently no public offering of the small band with everyone.
First, product design
Witflex is a new product in Guangzhou Yuanyun Network. Yuan Yun Network has been doing corporate private cloud design. This time it is a product that launches family private cloud storage. We started from the packaging of the product, the WITFLEX packaging main body mainly under black, drawer design, plus the bottom corner, green embellishment, simple but simple. Personally prefer.
Open the box, the green top cover, directly stimulate your visual nerves, products and supporting attachment regulations, giving people a particularly comfortable feeling, let you feel the products made by the manufacturer Compare care.
From the first moment of getting the product, you will feel that the manufacturer will have a hard work in the product design, and the aluminum alloy has a special treatment, making it very lubricated when touching, is not easy. Containing the fingerprint, the box of the fuselage with the LED matrix lamp and the product's logo. After power is energized, there will be a combination of similar code (what does not know what to mean ", the body of the body, the engineering plastics, Slightly higher than the outer casing, doing so on can increase the level of layer makes it seem to be monotonous, and on the other hand, the grit feelings brought by the grip.
There are not many interfaces, mostly concentrated in the back of the machine from left to right, hard disk tray switch, power button, power jack, and USB3.0 interface, there is a SS interface on the left side of the body, is USB3.0 The mobile hard disk interface can be connected to the external mobile hard disk through the data cable. Here I want to vomit, the use of the power button, the default plug is self-start, I don't have any other functions, and the long press does not have other functions, and there is no introduction in the manual, the power button function It is not perfect, it should be the 瑕 工程 的.
Finally, we came to the bottom of the product. The bottom design is special. It is made through two aluminum alloys. The split is applied with gentle green to modify, the lower left corner also has a slogan and 3C certification.
In general, the WIT-FLEX cloud storage tube is in product design and appearance in my opinion, metal case, rich in technology is full of vitality, the first impression is very good. (Next)
Second, get started
The manual in Witflex packaging is too simple, it may be due to the first batch of prototypes, and in order to reflect the use of Witflex's use, a concise design is used. Of course, if everything goes well, WITFLEX is indeed very simple. After installing the witfii app, power will automatically identify WITFLEX.
Here, you can determine that there is a wireless module in Witflex. The first time you configure the network, you must have a mobile phone and Witflex in the same wireless network (Tucing a small company too many wireless networks, can't find the device for the first time). There is no prompt in the instructions, and the first use of Xiaobian toss the old half a day and sweat.
Another thing to remind is to say that the book does not have a support for the hard disk. This sample itself came with a 500g hard disk (it is said to be a hard disk). Witflex supports a notebook hard drive of 2.5-inch size stat2 and above. It is best to introduce in the product manual, so if you need to replace a larger capacity or DIY solid state drive is also ready.
Installed App (Note If you can find WITFII in the App Store), if you say, if you say, you will automatically find WITFLEX in the network. After the connection, the operation is very simple, and the design of the app is simple.
Similar to Baidu network disk, 360 network disk, we can use the APP end to back up, upload, download, etc., cloud storage is mainly able to back up data, video, pictures, etc. APP adds some functional support, such as supporting playing video music and browsing pictures (but current video support format, no RMVB), can create folders, which is very convenient to use. The app also has some settings, you can set the password and network parameters, etc., but it is not possible to currently turn on the routing function, so Witflex can not be used as a router.
There are three ways of WITFLEX general connection:
Access to the APP of the mobile device;
Access to web end (the browser inputs the IP address directly, this requires within the same LAN);
Witflex also connects to a U disk or an external mobile hard disk;
Some experiences have been used through Xiaobian's use these days. First, it is worth mentioning that the app will continue to retrieve your mobile phone (just pictures, videos, documents will not scan), and remind you that the APP will only back up your memory card during the image backup. Image, other pictures require your manual selection to upload, so you can avoid uploading some unused advertising pictures.
However, if you have a large file for a large file, you can only use your manual addition list to the folder, but I don't recommend this, because on the one hand, the time upload will be determined according to your network, on the other hand In the process of uploading, the app cannot run in the background will not be wrong. I believe this is also caused by the APP optimization. It is recommended to pass the data line or the web side.
Different terminals can access the same data at the same time, this is an important feature of "cloud". Of course, Witflex also has such a feature, you can enter the web address bar to access the web address bar according to the IP terminal provided by the App end, but Note that "must" can be under the same network, the web end does not support other external network access. In the process of use, I also found some places that need to be modified and improved, the first browser compatibility problem, of course, these are not mentioned in the instructions, WIT supports IE 10 browsers, if not, there will be appear Similar situation (I use the latest Cheetah browser)
Thereafter, I have to change the browser after viewing the operation. The advantage of the web end is that more intuitive management operations are managed by the file, and there will be no matter what the file transfer is failed. It is also a very important thing that I personally feels very important. The interface is the web side. It is necessary to look at a lot.
As a cloud storage, of course, it is not only backup data, and the support of software functions is also very important. There are many ways to improve in the Witflex software, such as the APP supports more video formats; for example, the Web also adds some features (currently only backup data), even make a PC side control software. There can be a unified convenient user experience in various terminal devices, which believes that there are many points. (Next)
Third, dismantling
Witflex cloud storage can act as a NAS memory, from the use of the WiFi module inside, with curious small edits to dismantle WITFLEX.
Disassemble only the structure of internal engineering plastics is not as fine as the exquisite texture of Witflex. Surprising WITFLEX adopts the latest network chip MT7621AT for high-end routers, using MIPS 1004KEC dual-core CPU (operating frequency is 880MHz), integrated 5-port 10/100/1000 Mbps industrial-grade Ethernet switch and a RGMII Interface, support USB 3.0, USB 2.0, SD-XC, NAND, and EMMC and other storage interface specifications, can match the MT7612EN (5G WiFi) + MT7602EN (2.4G WiFi) + MT7602EN (2.4G WiFi) to achieve high-end dual-frequency router scheme.
However, here, WITFLEX only equipped with the MT7601WIFI module that supports the IEEE 802.11b / g / n wireless network protocol, which makes people unfortunate, and there is a feeling of high cost, as shown below.
Memory 256MB, support dual SATA3.0, support USB3.0, WITFLEX potential is still huge. See here, Xiaobian is a positioning worry about Witflex. The products on the market in the market have a lot of products, Xiaomi, and Huawei have launched their own products. Although the kernel is not as good as the BCM4709 of Xiaomi Routing, the MT7621AT power consumption of Liaotai is lower, and the price is higher. Witflex does not open the LAN port may be deliberate, and the WiFi module is disappointing. Although 802.11ac is not very popular, it can be used as a highlight. Perhaps Witflex is the concept of weakening the router, which requires the market's inspection.
Fourth, summary
Family's cloud storage is a very potential market, in fact, there are already many software and hardware solutions. You can even modify the PC into a cloud storage server through software, as well as the Time Capsule and millet routers such as the hardware product Apple on the market, etc. have cloud storage features. Witflex's design is more fluent, and the internal rules and inner mismatches, openness and playability are not enough. The Lianfa MT7621A scheme is also more advanced. Perhaps the prototype phase, the routing function is not open, I will be open after it.
The router is considered to be an important entrance to the family, while routers and cloud storage are very natural combines. The WITFLEX main cloud storage entry point is good, but for the domestic market, if there is no routing function, it will be very embarrassed. In addition, the experience and functionality of software is also very important, and a new product supporter believes that it is a great guest of all kinds of love, and the opening of software is also important. Witflex is actually OpenWRT, I believe that the technology accumulated by far cloud networks for many years, and will be more perfect.
