now this is something that the market needs more of and I don't necessarily
mean Corsair ssds or ssds in general or
whatever it is that you may think I mean what I mean is SATA
36 gbit per second SSD so this guy right
here is a 128 gig SSD from Corsair so
they are now the second manufacturer to Market with a SATA 3 6 gbit pers second
SSD and I'm going to tell you why exactly as part of my
unboxing this SSD needs a SATA 36 GB per
second interface oh I'm unboxing off camera
there you go you know it's a x-rated
unboxing when I can't this is too too hot for TV for YouTube this unboxing no
sorry you guys can't see it I'm just going to I'm going to look at this myself oh it's pretty silver yeah it's
got a silver casing on it it comes with a stick no kid just kidding I'll show
you guys okay so first thing it comes with is a 2 and 1/2 in to 3 and 1/2 in
adapter lots of modern cases these days are actually coming with Native support
for ssds or any 2 and 1/2 in drive so you might not have to use this but if
you do hey it's included so great and
here is the p328 this is their performance 3 series
one of my first SSD videos on my NC com
channel was actually about their original p128 so we've come a fair ways since
then this is also a 128 gig but in terms
of performance it absolutely blows the doors off their older dri so here you
can see we've got our standard 2 and 1/2 in mounting holes on the sides as well
as the bottoms of this drive okay here's a little warranty void if remove sticker
now this interface is going to look pretty familiar this is a SATA interface
so your power is still the same old thing that has been since SATA 1 this
guy right here SATA 3 6 GB per second is
physically identical to what we've seen in the past the only difference is how
much thorough put it's capable of so 6 gabit per second is I mean doing the
rough math is about 600 megabytes per second so that means that it is about
double the speed of SATA 2 3 gbit per second which Peaks out at around oh what
is it it's around 300 megabytes per second I think it's a little less like about 280 so the SATA GBS probably
around 560 Megs so this particular Drive
doesn't Max it out but if you check out the specs so I'm on the NCI website here
on my uh MSI laptop so here we go maximum
sequential read speeds are 410 megabytes per second and
maximum sequential rights are 210 megab per second so it uses a Marvel
controller mlc flash it has trim support
as well as robust background garbage collection
and let's see what else they've got to say for themselves threeyear warranty on
this guy wow the NCIX site is great it tells me all the stuff that I could tell
you except in Note Form rather than
watching a long YouTube video that's pretty useful um so one of the questions
that inevitably people will have about a drive like this is can I use it on my
SATA 2 Port the answer is yes it will
have slightly lower performance but you can use it on your SATA 2 compatible
motherboard until you upgrade to one with SATA 3 6 GB per second so don't
forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips and thank you for checking out my unboxing
of the cor performance 3 Series 128 gig
