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

00:00:05.319 --> 00:00:12.759
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:19.359
Digital ldpc that might not sound like much but it's one of the features that

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:21.920
is going to set apart the SX 930 SSD and

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:27.880
any other SSD product that is based on the upcoming San Force third generation

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:31.840
so this is the 3700 series controller so

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:33.960
what ldpc refers to is an enhanced error

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.399
correction algorithm that goes along with the enhanced encryption as well as

00:00:36.879 --> 00:00:43.000
enhanced performance and enhanced features basically it's better in every

00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:46.879
possible way they have a working sample here in the suite but other than that we

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

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.680
megabytes per second of sustained performance with incompressible data

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:00.640
something we're not really used to seeing with a sand Force controller and

00:00:58.120 --> 00:01:05.479
we also know that it natively supports both sata3 interfaces as well as PCI

00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:12.280
Express interfaces giving you the flexibility to deploy it as a PCIe

00:01:08.600 --> 00:01:13.920
add-in card or even in an M2 or ngff

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.560
type of form factor which can go directly on a motherboard or in a small

00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:21.880
form factor notebook now this one right here is a 2 terabyte model so we could

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.320
also be looking at some increased capacity availability as well but what

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:30.079
we also know for certain is they're not showing any performance numbers yet and

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

00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:37.720
babies not all futuristic SSD technology

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:44.240
is all about highest per the highest performance possible this is the XU 41

00:01:40.520 --> 00:01:45.719
which is a full SSD built into a single

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:50.520
package here so it could be soldered into something like uh a tablet for

00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:55.520
example it's not necessarily the highest performance in the world capable of

00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:58.360
about 20,000 random iops but you get

00:01:55.520 --> 00:02:01.280
capacities up to 128 gigs and significantly better performance than

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:05.920
you would be able to if you weren't using a proper SSD controller in spite

00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:14.120
of its extremely small form factor next up we have ah yes working ddr4 samples

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.360
no motherboard to put them in so yeah

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

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

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

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

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:39.959
apparently but of course we can't show it working because motherboards I've

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.440
been saying for quite some time that one of the ways that I personally shop for

00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:48.200
PC components as long as I'm buying from a trusted brand that has good warranty

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:51.440
support and all that stuff is uh color

00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:53.080
so ad data has attached to that idea

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:59.519
pretty strongly here and they have updated the xpg V2 memory module kit

00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:03.720
lineup to now contain many different colors including some ones that I'm

00:03:01.959 --> 00:03:07.080
particularly excited about such as their matte black and matte white spreaders

00:03:05.959 --> 00:03:11.200
but they also have some pretty outlandish stuff as well so you can

00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:15.799
match up to your build pretty much no matter what your build happens to look

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:20.599
like so we've got a pretty sweet uh purple anodized inwind system and this

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

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:29.959
that San Force 3700 series controller I

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:33.799
talked about before guys don't miss any of our coverage here at CES 2014

00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:38.560
remember our trip to the show is powered by nc.com your source for great

00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:42.799
technology selection and Service as well as Corsair memory and Western Digital

00:03:41.239 --> 00:03:46.640
huge thanks to those guys because without them we wouldn't be able to be

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.640
here
