00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.400
I've got another Kingston unboxing to do I unboxed their SSD now V series

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:15.400
notebook upgrade kit drive very recently and now I have the SSD now V plus series

00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:19.279
128 GB performance upgrade kit so this is intended for a desktop computer

00:00:17.720 --> 00:00:23.279
whereas this one is intended for a notebook computer so there are some key

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.560
differences first of all the v+ series is slightly faster as the plus would

00:00:25.599 --> 00:00:32.759
indicate and next of all it includes slightly different accessories so rather

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:38.320
than including say for example an external hard drive enclosure and

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:41.719
cloning software the desktop uh

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:44.480
performance upgrade Drive

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

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:53.239
does include an enclosure oh and it does include cloning software wow so it

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

00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:01.719
in hard drive mounting adapter bracket

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:05.080
it includes the USB cable that you'll need for the enclosure it includes a

00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:09.600
SATA cable which you will need to install the new SSD in your system

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

00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:17.400
Kingston enclosure which is uh just an

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:22.479
simple simple external USB enclosure so you just kind of throw your drive in

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.119
there and then you close it up and you

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

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:32.560
2.0 external hard drive enclosure so if you're upgrading well if you are

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

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

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:48.600
the main advantages of an SSD that uh Kingston has asked me to mention are

00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:53.200
the silence the reliability and the performance I mean does it is there

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

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

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:08.720
128 gigs you've got enough space to store pretty much whatever you'd need

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:12.000
and it's much much faster like an SSD

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:14.400
Just Smokes even any desktop Drive even

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.879
in a raid configuration because it's all about the little bits of data that

00:02:16.760 --> 00:02:22.800
you're accessing frequently that's why they're so useful as an OS drive because

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:28.200
whenever you do anything it's going to be much snappier I actually did a long

00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:35.599
convoluted video on SSD versus hard drive if you put SS SD space vs Space

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:40.879
HDD into uh the Youtube search it should bring up my video under my ncic channel

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

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:48.280
just flies so this is like I said they

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.280
v+ series actually why don't we have a quick look at

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:56.440
um what kind of specs we've got on this particular

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

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:08.080
know what why don't we find out in real time the actual difference between the

00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:12.040
SSD now V series and the SSD now V plus

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.879
series we'll site and we'll just uh key

00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:20.280
them in and find out what the difference is so

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.280
king.com

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:27.760
okay today we're going to be learning how to do

00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:29.959
important product

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:33.959
research okay so you can see there's the E Series so that's basically irrelevant

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

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

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.560
both using tashiba controllers as I recall so why don't we have a look at

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

00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:54.000
us about it wow my uh scroll wheel is

00:03:52.400 --> 00:04:00.239
not working okay here we go so the sequential speed on the 128 gig is 200

00:03:56.760 --> 00:04:02.840
me megabytes per second read and 100 60

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:07.799
megabytes pers second right do they have any random oh this is kind of a neat

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

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

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

00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:25.600
got slightly higher sequential read as well as slightly higher sequential right

00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:28.960
that's actually very impressive for wres and then you've actually got

00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:33.800
dramatically higher performance this I was not aware of so it looks like the v+

00:04:31.479 --> 00:04:37.680
is pretty much the way to go if you are looking for the maximum performance

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

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:46.479
these two drives actually cost on ncx I get a lot of questions about this

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:53.600
where I work I work at NC it's a computer store in Canada so

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:55.160
Kingston 128 gab all right let's see

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

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:04.600
$249.99 and then the v+ 128 gig so you're paying

00:05:03.039 --> 00:05:09.280
almost an extra hundred bucks for that performance but if you're looking for

00:05:06.280 --> 00:05:10.280
the maximum possible well performance

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

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

00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:22.639
pretty much covers everything I wanted to say and why don't I just sort of

00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:27.560
briefly show you the difference in the uh in the package for the notebook

00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:31.240
upgrade kit versus the desktop kit so you've got the same enclosure you've got

00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:35.199
the same software and the cloning software is intended for you to easily

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:40.000
take either a desktop or laptop hard drive so they've included a SATA cable

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

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

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.680
reformat your OS so this one this is weird this one comes with a SATA power

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:57.720
cable and this one comes with a SATA data cable I guess the Assumption I

00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:01.400
don't know what the assumption is here but they both got the USB cable they

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:04.560
both come with a hard drive and looks like there's no hard drive in here

00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:08.880
anymore I must have must have done something with it maybe I left it in

00:06:06.599 --> 00:06:12.520
here okay that almost freaked me out there but yeah it's just in there so

00:06:10.440 --> 00:06:20.000
here's the V series Drive ah next to the v+ series

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:22.080
drive and they look pretty much the same

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:28.000
all the differences are going to be under the hood although this one has a

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:30.440
black label the v+ so that probably

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:33.960
means it goes faster because anything with a black like sticker on it

00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:39.000
automatically goes faster I mean especially black and red like black and

00:06:36.440 --> 00:06:42.440
red those are performance colors so it's it's hard to go wrong with performance

00:06:40.599 --> 00:06:48.919
like black and red thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Kingston

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:52.919
SSD now v+ series performance upgrade

00:06:48.919 --> 00:06:55.440
kit SSD drive oh yeah don't forget to
