Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there
as well as hyperx so we're hanging out checking out what hyperx is showing off
here at the show and I've got three things right in front of me first of all
we've got their Savage DDR3 memory so the kit that happens to be in here right
now is a 16 gig kit of 2400 MHz memory
um honestly not a lot has changed DDR3
isn't exactly Cutting Edge anymore but they've got a nice new ID on it that's
going to look great on you know an Rog board and actually this system overall
looks freaking fantastic it's an Alan Le
p6s and I'm going to have to get one of
these for review or something because this looks like one Wicked gaming system
of course of course it looks mostly Wicked because of all the cool hyperx
stuff inside so they've actually got their new hyperx Savage SSD this is
using a fisen S10 controller it's available in 240 480 and 960 gig
capacities and in terms of performance this this one's it's kind of funny
because you know it's like yeah it's a new controller but yeah it's still SATA
3 because we don't really have anything faster than that so we're looking at around 560 megabytes per second reads
around 520 or 540 megabyte per second rights depending on where things land at
the end of the day and uh in terms of what that means in the real world well
right over here it's uh it's kind of like awesome beautiful hyperx industrial
design meets uh sort of Kingston marketing here's ours here's all the
other state of 3 ssds basically you know ours is good because it's you know
backed by Kingston it's good quality and all that stuff and now in incompressible
scenarios where so say for example on a sand Forest Drive it might perform
really well sometimes and not as well other times we are going to be
definitely competitive with everything else on the market and we look great
doing it so that's about all there is to say about it this is a little bit more
on the interesting side this is the new hyperx Predator this is an m.2 SSD it's
got four PCI Express G two lanes and this has none of that mundane SATA 3
bottleneck stuff going on the read speeds on this one is 1.4 gigabytes per
second and rights is 1 Gigabyte per second it's available in the same
capacities so that's 240 480 and 960 gig
and you can actually install it a number of different ways in fact in the system
behind me they've got it installed two different ways so it's installed
directly in an m.2 slot on the Maximus 7 Gene motherboard right here and then
it's also available with a PCI Express Riser card and so you can just install
it in any PCI Express slot in your motherboard assuming you don't have an
m.2 slot and this is just a nice touch they actually I'm not sure if this is
the final PCB design I heard there's one that's going to have like dick butts on
the back or something like that or no but there there's discussion about maybe
dressing it up a little bit but little things like making the PCB black I've
seen other high performance great for gaming you know PCR Express SSD Riser CS
it's like green PCB it's like do you guys even look at gaming systems so at
least I'll say this the hyperx team is looking at what gaming systems are
supposed to look like and making sure the product performs well and looks good
inside speaking of stuff that performs well huge shout out to our primary
sponsor for the show yeah I got to throw in that primary just for you guys
