00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,680
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:12,759
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:19,359
Digital ldpc that might not sound like much but it's one of the features that

4
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:21,920
is going to set apart the SX 930 SSD and

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:27,880
any other SSD product that is based on the upcoming San Force third generation

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:31,840
so this is the 3700 series controller so

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,960
what ldpc refers to is an enhanced error

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,399
correction algorithm that goes along with the enhanced encryption as well as

9
00:00:36,879 --> 00:00:43,000
enhanced performance and enhanced features basically it's better in every

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:46,879
possible way they have a working sample here in the suite but other than that we

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:52,440
don't know too much about it they are quoting that it's capable of up to 1,800

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,680
megabytes per second of sustained performance with incompressible data

13
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:00,640
something we're not really used to seeing with a sand Force controller and

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:05,479
we also know that it natively supports both sata3 interfaces as well as PCI

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:12,280
Express interfaces giving you the flexibility to deploy it as a PCIe

16
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,920
add-in card or even in an M2 or ngff

17
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,560
type of form factor which can go directly on a motherboard or in a small

18
00:01:15,759 --> 00:01:21,880
form factor notebook now this one right here is a 2 terabyte model so we could

19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,320
also be looking at some increased capacity availability as well but what

20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,079
we also know for certain is they're not showing any performance numbers yet and

21
00:01:28,119 --> 00:01:35,200
we could be looking at a few more months before you can actually buy one of these

22
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:37,720
babies not all futuristic SSD technology

23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:44,240
is all about highest per the highest performance possible this is the XU 41

24
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,719
which is a full SSD built into a single

25
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:50,520
package here so it could be soldered into something like uh a tablet for

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:55,520
example it's not necessarily the highest performance in the world capable of

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:58,360
about 20,000 random iops but you get

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,280
capacities up to 128 gigs and significantly better performance than

29
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:05,920
you would be able to if you weren't using a proper SSD controller in spite

30
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:14,120
of its extremely small form factor next up we have ah yes working ddr4 samples

31
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:16,360
no motherboard to put them in so yeah

32
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:23,319
but there they are we have both and 8 gig and a 16 gig module to show you guys

33
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:27,640
this one right here has 288 pins it runs at ddr4 2133 which isn't that impressive

34
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,160
for now we're expecting to see better by the time it actually launches and that's

35
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:36,239
at cl15 so the timings are quite loose but there you have it guys it is working

36
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,959
apparently but of course we can't show it working because motherboards I've

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,440
been saying for quite some time that one of the ways that I personally shop for

38
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,200
PC components as long as I'm buying from a trusted brand that has good warranty

39
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,440
support and all that stuff is uh color

40
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,080
so ad data has attached to that idea

41
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:59,519
pretty strongly here and they have updated the xpg V2 memory module kit

42
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:03,720
lineup to now contain many different colors including some ones that I'm

43
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:07,080
particularly excited about such as their matte black and matte white spreaders

44
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:11,200
but they also have some pretty outlandish stuff as well so you can

45
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,799
match up to your build pretty much no matter what your build happens to look

46
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:20,599
like so we've got a pretty sweet uh purple anodized inwind system and this

47
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:27,720
is actually the one that is running the live demo of the X SX 930 SSD featuring

48
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,959
that San Force 3700 series controller I

49
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:33,799
talked about before guys don't miss any of our coverage here at CES 2014

50
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:38,560
remember our trip to the show is powered by nc.com your source for great

51
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,799
technology selection and Service as well as Corsair memory and Western Digital

52
00:03:41,239 --> 00:03:46,640
huge thanks to those guys because without them we wouldn't be able to be

53
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,640
here
