00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:14.360
now the official video for today at the Intel campus is actually going to be on

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.480
the subject of Intel's SSD reliability their manufacturing and testing

00:00:15.799 --> 00:00:22.880
processes and you guys are going to want to check that out on my ncixcom channel

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:24.519
so that's youtube.com/ ncixcom for those

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

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.320
too this is just for fun so Intel has as

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:37.000
you can see basketball courts here on their campus there's the building you

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

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:44.719
have basketball courts but they also have beach volleyball I don't know

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.920
courts pits whatever you want to call them however of the two Sports

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:53.559
basketball is the one that I'm least terrible at so for our cool Factor video

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:59.680
today we are going to be stress testing whether this Intel SSD can handle my

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:07.680
poor basketball playing skills so okay we're going force it to

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:10.560
watch well I go at this here and here we

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.880
go and up yes okay so what we're going to do

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

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:24.439
in fact well ssds in general are all about reliability so while Intel has the

00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:27.320
lowest failure rates in the industry in general they are still more reliable

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

00:01:31.240 --> 00:01:37.399
so let's take this throw it inside a

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:44.040
laptop of the actual Intel employee the genuine one who is filming this episode

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:47.200
and find out if it still boots

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:49.040
up so here we are we it's a very simple

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.119
operation to change the hard drive in this notebook so we took our image Drive

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

00:01:54.759 --> 00:02:02.200
this ssds and the touch pad's not working because this particular Intel

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.200
employee prefers to use the oldfashioned keyboard nipple thing going on you know

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:10.440
move it around like that um so here just to show that it is actually working

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:17.720
we're just going to open something how about oh how about getting started there

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.959
we go so yes our SSD still works so the

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

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.400
already seen that the general message is going to be Intel puts a phenomenal

00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:32.519
amount of effort and R&D into making sure that their ssds are the most

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.280
reliable in the industry if that means uh a product gets released on a

00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:40.120
different time schedule compared to their competitors then so be it so this

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:44.920
was uh shoot what series was this can you signal me like how many went after

00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:46.959
the five was it a one or a two 520 oh

00:02:44.920 --> 00:02:51.200
it's a 520 thank you so in this case the 520 series SSD was actually

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:55.159
significantly later to Market compared to their competitors with San Force

00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:58.400
controllers but because Intel insists on setting the bar for where they want the

00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:01.680
performance and the reliability and then forcing the product to meet it before

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:05.319
they bring it to Market they ended up rewriting dramatic amounts of the

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:08.840
firmware as well as making sure that they use only the highest quality of the

00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:11.480
Nan that they manufacture themselves so thank you for checking out this little

00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:14.840
practical demonstration I know it didn't really prove much but a hard drive

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:17.959
definitely would have died where the SSD didn't so we at least Prov that much

00:03:16.519 --> 00:03:22.319
