00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:14,360
now the official video for today at the Intel campus is actually going to be on

2
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,480
the subject of Intel's SSD reliability their manufacturing and testing

3
00:00:15,799 --> 00:00:22,880
processes and you guys are going to want to check that out on my ncixcom channel

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,519
so that's youtube.com/ ncixcom for those

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:32,520
of you who still haven't subscribe to both channels it's totally worth it the other one's really good

6
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,320
too this is just for fun so Intel has as

7
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,000
you can see basketball courts here on their campus there's the building you

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,320
can't really see it but there's an Intel logo at the top left not only do they

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:44,719
have basketball courts but they also have beach volleyball I don't know

10
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:47,920
courts pits whatever you want to call them however of the two Sports

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:53,559
basketball is the one that I'm least terrible at so for our cool Factor video

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:59,680
today we are going to be stress testing whether this Intel SSD can handle my

13
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:07,680
poor basketball playing skills so okay we're going force it to

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:10,560
watch well I go at this here and here we

15
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,880
go and up yes okay so what we're going to do

16
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:20,079
now guys is we're going to take this Intel SSD because as you know Intel ssds

17
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,439
in fact well ssds in general are all about reliability so while Intel has the

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,320
lowest failure rates in the industry in general they are still more reliable

19
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:35,360
than hard drives especially in applications where they're going to be subjected to shock such as in a laptop

20
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:37,399
so let's take this throw it inside a

21
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:44,040
laptop of the actual Intel employee the genuine one who is filming this episode

22
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:47,200
and find out if it still boots

23
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,040
up so here we are we it's a very simple

24
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,119
operation to change the hard drive in this notebook so we took our image Drive

25
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,479
threw it in the notebook it booted up quick fast as we've come to expect from

26
00:01:54,759 --> 00:02:02,200
this ssds and the touch pad's not working because this particular Intel

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,200
employee prefers to use the oldfashioned keyboard nipple thing going on you know

28
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,440
move it around like that um so here just to show that it is actually working

29
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:17,720
we're just going to open something how about oh how about getting started there

30
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,959
we go so yes our SSD still works so the

31
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:24,120
general message here and this is going to be most of what I already say in the ncx tech tips video if you guys have

32
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,400
already seen that the general message is going to be Intel puts a phenomenal

33
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,519
amount of effort and R&D into making sure that their ssds are the most

34
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,280
reliable in the industry if that means uh a product gets released on a

35
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:40,120
different time schedule compared to their competitors then so be it so this

36
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,920
was uh shoot what series was this can you signal me like how many went after

37
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,959
the five was it a one or a two 520 oh

38
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:51,200
it's a 520 thank you so in this case the 520 series SSD was actually

39
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,159
significantly later to Market compared to their competitors with San Force

40
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,400
controllers but because Intel insists on setting the bar for where they want the

41
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,680
performance and the reliability and then forcing the product to meet it before

42
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,319
they bring it to Market they ended up rewriting dramatic amounts of the

43
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:08,840
firmware as well as making sure that they use only the highest quality of the

44
00:03:06,799 --> 00:03:11,480
Nan that they manufacture themselves so thank you for checking out this little

45
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,840
practical demonstration I know it didn't really prove much but a hard drive

46
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,959
definitely would have died where the SSD didn't so we at least Prov that much

47
00:03:16,519 --> 00:03:22,319
