1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,400
I've got another Kingston unboxing to do I unboxed their SSD now V series

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:15,400
notebook upgrade kit drive very recently and now I have the SSD now V plus series

3
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:19,279
128 GB performance upgrade kit so this is intended for a desktop computer

4
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,279
whereas this one is intended for a notebook computer so there are some key

5
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,560
differences first of all the v+ series is slightly faster as the plus would

6
00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:32,759
indicate and next of all it includes slightly different accessories so rather

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,320
than including say for example an external hard drive enclosure and

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,719
cloning software the desktop uh

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,480
performance upgrade Drive

10
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:48,840
includes I don't know actually we're about to find out what it includes oh it

11
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:53,239
does include an enclosure oh and it does include cloning software wow so it

12
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:59,399
actually just includes more it also includes a three 2 and 1/2 to 3 and 1/2

13
00:00:55,559 --> 00:01:01,719
in hard drive mounting adapter bracket

14
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:05,080
it includes the USB cable that you'll need for the enclosure it includes a

15
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:09,600
SATA cable which you will need to install the new SSD in your system

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:14,799
unless you're replacing an SSD or rather a SATA drive and then you've got the

17
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,400
Kingston enclosure which is uh just an

18
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:22,479
simple simple external USB enclosure so you just kind of throw your drive in

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,119
there and then you close it up and you

20
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:29,439
slide that on there yeah you'll lock it up and then you've got just a basic USB

21
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:32,560
2.0 external hard drive enclosure so if you're upgrading well if you are

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,320
upgrading a laptop you can throw your old drive in here and use it as a storage drive and then leave the SSD in

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:42,280
your laptop cuz there's no reason you couldn't use this in a laptop too now

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:48,600
the main advantages of an SSD that uh Kingston has asked me to mention are

25
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:53,200
the silence the reliability and the performance I mean does it is there

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:57,479
really anything else yeah the capacities aren't as big as a typical 2 and 1/2 in

27
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:02,719
hard drive which is available in up to about 500 gigs these days but I mean at

28
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:08,720
128 gigs you've got enough space to store pretty much whatever you'd need

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000
and it's much much faster like an SSD

30
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,400
Just Smokes even any desktop Drive even

31
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,879
in a raid configuration because it's all about the little bits of data that

32
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,800
you're accessing frequently that's why they're so useful as an OS drive because

33
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,200
whenever you do anything it's going to be much snappier I actually did a long

34
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:35,599
convoluted video on SSD versus hard drive if you put SS SD space vs Space

35
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:40,879
HDD into uh the Youtube search it should bring up my video under my ncic channel

36
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:46,599
pretty pretty high up and I show real world an SSD versus a hard drive and it

37
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,280
just flies so this is like I said they

38
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:52,280
v+ series actually why don't we have a quick look at

39
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:56,440
um what kind of specs we've got on this particular

40
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,080
Drive oh they're not going to let me cheat they have nothing on the box you

41
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:08,080
know what why don't we find out in real time the actual difference between the

42
00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:12,040
SSD now V series and the SSD now V plus

43
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,879
series we'll site and we'll just uh key

44
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:20,280
them in and find out what the difference is so

45
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,280
king.com

46
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,760
okay today we're going to be learning how to do

47
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:29,959
important product

48
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,959
research okay so you can see there's the E Series so that's basically irrelevant

49
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:39,000
these days this is the old uh based on the Intel x25 e then you got the M

50
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,319
series which is based on the Intel x2m and then the V and v+ series these are

51
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,560
both using tashiba controllers as I recall so why don't we have a look at

52
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:52,400
the V series first so you got the data sheet here and what is it going to tell

53
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,000
us about it wow my uh scroll wheel is

54
00:03:52,400 --> 00:04:00,239
not working okay here we go so the sequential speed on the 128 gig is 200

55
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,840
me megabytes per second read and 100 60

56
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:07,799
megabytes pers second right do they have any random oh this is kind of a neat

57
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,760
they give you the PC Mark hard drive uh hard drive score from 2005 so it looks

58
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:17,160
like the 64 gig is the best controller is the best uh performer out of these uh

59
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,320
the V series drives so why don't we have a look at the v+ series drives so you've

60
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:25,600
got slightly higher sequential read as well as slightly higher sequential right

61
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,960
that's actually very impressive for wres and then you've actually got

62
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:33,800
dramatically higher performance this I was not aware of so it looks like the v+

63
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:37,680
is pretty much the way to go if you are looking for the maximum performance

64
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:41,840
whereas the V is more of a value warrant a drive why don't we have a look at what

65
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,479
these two drives actually cost on ncx I get a lot of questions about this

66
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:53,600
where I work I work at NC it's a computer store in Canada so

67
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:55,160
Kingston 128 gab all right let's see

68
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,240
what we bring up so we've got the V series Gen 2 128 gig so that is at

69
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:04,600
$249.99 and then the v+ 128 gig so you're paying

70
00:05:03,039 --> 00:05:09,280
almost an extra hundred bucks for that performance but if you're looking for

71
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:10,280
the maximum possible well performance

72
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:13,759
then you're going to want to go with the plus series drive and if you're not then

73
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:18,400
you're going to want to go with the regular V series drive so I think that

74
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,639
pretty much covers everything I wanted to say and why don't I just sort of

75
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:27,560
briefly show you the difference in the uh in the package for the notebook

76
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:31,240
upgrade kit versus the desktop kit so you've got the same enclosure you've got

77
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:35,199
the same software and the cloning software is intended for you to easily

78
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:40,000
take either a desktop or laptop hard drive so they've included a SATA cable

79
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:44,680
as well as their uh their little Basic 2 and 1 12 in enclosure you clone all of

80
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:48,800
your data over to the SSD drive and then just swap it in you don't even have to

81
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,680
reformat your OS so this one this is weird this one comes with a SATA power

82
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:57,720
cable and this one comes with a SATA data cable I guess the Assumption I

83
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:01,400
don't know what the assumption is here but they both got the USB cable they

84
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:04,560
both come with a hard drive and looks like there's no hard drive in here

85
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,880
anymore I must have must have done something with it maybe I left it in

86
00:06:06,599 --> 00:06:12,520
here okay that almost freaked me out there but yeah it's just in there so

87
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:20,000
here's the V series Drive ah next to the v+ series

88
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:22,080
drive and they look pretty much the same

89
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:28,000
all the differences are going to be under the hood although this one has a

90
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,440
black label the v+ so that probably

91
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,960
means it goes faster because anything with a black like sticker on it

92
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:39,000
automatically goes faster I mean especially black and red like black and

93
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,440
red those are performance colors so it's it's hard to go wrong with performance

94
00:06:40,599 --> 00:06:48,919
like black and red thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Kingston

95
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:52,919
SSD now v+ series performance upgrade

96
00:06:48,919 --> 00:06:55,440
