With the enhancement of copyright awareness and the requirements of information security, many online disks have been going bankrupt since last year. With the offline of a batch of online disks, the original convenient backup has become only a few choices. Now there are more and more pirated numbers and database collisions. Files placed on public cloud disks may disappear overnight. Of course, This is good. If it is personal privacy, or the ID photo is used by others, this is a very terrible thing. So in recent years, various NAS and private cloud storage have also become booming, and what I want to play now is also a product like this, Magic Disc from Shenzhen Smart Communication Electronics Co., Ltd. Thank you Love to play computer games （ //fanlma.cn/ ）It provides such a good opportunity for trial evaluation. First, a dynamic unpacking diagram:
The front side of the product package is simple, while the back side of the package is concise with basic information. It is rare to see what the product is for from the outer package. The overall outer package is already very small.
The inner package is separated from top to bottom, and the upper layer has the body and instructions. However, what I didn't expect was that the words of QQ IOT were even larger than the name of the product itself. Er, it was a bit like putting the cart before the horse. At first sight, my friend thought the name of this hardware was QQ IOT
At the beginning, the manual looked very small, but when it was opened, it was very long, both front and back. It was written in great detail. As long as you follow it, you can easily start.
The lower layer is the power plug and power cord. The interface is still the most common miniUSB interface. It is easy to find a replacement wire. The length of the attached wire is enough to meet the needs of placing anywhere. The whole family photo is like the following. The size and diameter of the body is less than 9cm, and the thickness is only 2.7cm. It can be placed in any corner, And its own shape and color are also quite versatile, so it will not be special if it is placed anywhere in the home. The weight is only 85g, and it is not heavy to carry with you.
The built-in power supply is a 5V2A large current adapter, but in fact, if the external USB flash disk is connected, the ordinary 1A can also be used. According to the official data, the power consumption is only 0.5W when it is in standby mode. It does not feel hot when it is used for a long time without power off for several days.
Looking back at the main body, there are three indicator lights, namely power supply, external equipment and network, on the round shape. The color is very light. Turning off the lights at night will not cause any light pollution. There are many cooling holes and the most critical two-dimensional code on the back. Without this, the device cannot be tied. It should actually be the product code+product ID. I don't know whether it is right or not. However, there are some problems. First, when selling second-hand goods, it means that the seller can still bind the equipment through the QR code taken earlier; Second, if the QR code is worn out and no pictures of the QR code are taken in advance, does this mean that the problem can only be solved by the manufacturer. These two points, especially the first point, should be noted, which is equivalent to the possibility of disclosure of second-hand buyer information. However, I bought this for my personal use. I believe no one will sell it, and the price itself is not high enough to buy a second-hand product. The numerous cooling holes on the back make me think, well, should this be put in the opposite direction all the time? After all, ordinary people don't pay much attention to the three signal lights as long as they are used normally.
There are three directions on the side of the main body, namely USB2.0 interface, standard network card RJ45 interface and power interface, miniUSB. The reset key is inside the dot next to it.
This is the way to be fully armed. At least at the beginning, you must connect the network cable. It can be seen that the brightness of the indicator light is very low, and it is not too faint to be invisible. This design seems to be nothing strange, but it is really smart, starting from a practical point of view. I have seen many smart routes or small NAS or private cloud storage devices with blinking brightness indicators. Such manufacturers have never thought that such devices are powered on 7 * 24. What are they doing so bright at night to prevent camp robbery
It can directly carry the mobile hard disk itself, but the speed is somewhat limited due to the USB 2.0 interface.
After reading the appearance, it was officially put into use. First, it was connected to the network cable. I temporarily used this as a secondary route. First, it was connected. The following is a screenshot of each step, which is consistent with the steps in the manual. It is very convenient to set. By the way, the default is 2.4g, not considering the 5g link. There are only a few steps, and then it will restart.
After restarting, it can be used directly, but it is strange that I always open it here and it shows that wan is not connected, but actually it can be used online normally.
Now it can be used properly. Er, this is not my goal, so I continue. The next step is to bind the device, which was also written before. It uses the QQ IOT interface, so only QQ can bind the device. However, all informal versions of QQ, that is, whether it is international, chatting As long as the hd version is not the official version, it cannot be bound at all. Both Android and iOS have the same restrictions. At least for me, the official version of QQ has not been used since 2002. No matter what platform it is, the next official version of QQ is needed to bind devices. It takes up a lot of space. For users of small memory phones like me, The official version of QQ can be 300M more than the light chat version. It's really not a trivial matter. I feel that this QQ Internet of Things is not intended to be popularized, but is an experimental thing, otherwise it will not only be placed on a single product path.
After the official version of QQ was changed, the overall feeling was that the machine was much slower, and its startup was not as easy as the chat version. However, in order to use Magic Disc, the binding experience was very easy and good, and the upgrade started just after the binding was successful. After the upgrade and restart, it will be seen in the contact device, and as long as it is bound, it can always see the device status from QQ, No matter offline or online.
The interface is simple and easy to understand. Everything you want is here. All files means that you can see all files of external devices, which is the same as the literal meaning. However, the following is not a classification display of the files in the storage device, but a file stored after creating a layer of directory in the device. This specification has been written. There are relevant settings in the upper right corner.
It seems that QQ Internet of Things does not directly call or use streaming and other protocols. When viewing all files, everything cannot be played or previewed online, which is inconvenient. I feel that QQ Internet of Things is not considered to do at all.
After all, this is a private cloud disk, so the upload function is absolutely necessary. You can upload the specified types by category, whether it is video, audio, images or other files. Another good thing is that you can directly upload audio recordings and videos. This is a convenient function, that is, Even if you can store the things around you directly in the home if you can connect with the Internet outside, this is very good, and the various operations are also very simple and clear. However, there is a very important function that has not yet been provided, that is, the synchronization disk function, that is, the automatic synchronization of designated folders. After all, this is one of the main reasons for using major cloud disks. If the QQ Internet of Things agreement can support it, I hope it can be added. With automatic backup, it will be like a real private cloud storage. Ah, by the way, these operations can only be used in the official version of QQ on Android and iOS, but not in any version of PC. That is to say, QQ IoT can only be used in the mobile scenario, and the restrictions are really high. It seems that there is little need to use QQ IoT, just to facilitate management.
The sharing and group chat functions are very useful for a family. For example, the photos and videos of Bear Kids can be easily shared, but everyone's permissions are the same. After all, QQ is stolen very frequently now. Once stolen, all the private things will go out, and the other party still has all the permissions, It is fatal to delete all of them, and all of them have full authority, which further increases the risk. After all, it is OK for grandparents to use them, but the probability of theft is still high.
Just when I was about to write a summary, I was prompted to upgrade again, and it also brought wifi relay and ftp functions, which are two very practical functions, especially the latter. In the weak usage scenario of QQ Internet of Things, a general method was finally available for PC to use directly, and remote direct online preview and playback can be realized through the FTP function of ES manager, It can be said that this update is really great.
The wireless relay is easy to set up. I don't know whether these will be added to the manual in the future. It is suggested to simply simplify the manual in the package, and then directly put the manual online for online viewing, so as to update the manual. After the wireless relay, the network cable can finally be dropped, which means that it can be placed anywhere and used more conveniently.
At the same time, there is FTP information on the settings of the PC and mobile terminals, but the PC can only be used as a way to set something. Fortunately, with FTP, many things become too convenient. The only regret is that it can not be connected even in the external network when using mobile QQ, which can only be used in the same LAN, This is why QQ IOT did not consider the troubles brought by the PC terminal at all, and it is impossible to understand what this design idea is. Originally, the idea of IOT was to make everything connected, but now it seems that the idea of QQ IOT is to connect everything except computers. Fortunately, the Magic Disc team has brought FTP, otherwise the practicability is still too limited. In addition, FTP can realize online preview and designated backup, which is very useful.
Just when I was about to say and write a summary, I unexpectedly upgraded again, but this time it was a stability upgrade. I felt that the team's requirements for customers were responding quickly, and they were working hard to optimize the products. This made me trust the Magic Disc team at that time, but I have no trust in the QQ Internet of Things and QQ not being stolen, After all, my QQ has been stolen for a long time this year. However, the manufacturer team is still seriously studying a common solution, which is very good. FTP is the first step. I believe that practical functions such as automatic backup and offline download of the specified directory should be very promising.
However, I found a problem with the new version. When uploading, it always showed that the progress was zero, but it was already uploaded.
To sum up:
As a model, it has few functions but is very practical. Now it has excellent stability after long use. As a simple NAS, its function is not enough. It is limited by QQ Internet of Things, and many things are limited. As a private cloud storage device, the basic functions are available, but there are still some more convenient ways to use them, such as automatic backup, and some basic restrictions should be subject to the QQ Internet of Things, such as only five uploads at a time.
It feels that the whole equipment itself is a good idea and design in terms of practicality. It is a pity that the QQ Internet of Things is related to a relatively large limitation and affects the convenience and practicality of the product. In the group, the manufacturer is still doing Magic Disc with a very serious attitude. The upgrade speed is very fast and the manufacturer is also working hard beyond the scope of QQ IOT. I think I will be very confident that the manufacturer will solve this problem I have raised in other ways. After all, QQ IOT has been pushing things for a long time, and it is still just like this until now, Instead of believing that QQ Internet of Things can solve these problems, I trust the team of the manufacturer more. After all, there are three iterations within one week of the arrival, and they are still very competitive. And after these small problems are solved, it should be a very comfortable, portable and private cloud disk.
