1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,560 USB drives I mean now that I can get 4 gig ones enough to install an OS for 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,679 free with press kits about new products or whatever on them they've got to do 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:15,000 something pretty special in order to grab my attention especially if they 4 00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:20,480 come from a company that doesn't normally even make USB drives like 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,480 Vision 6 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:33,480 Tech Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature Precision Cherry MX RG GB key 7 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,559 switches for 16.8 million color per key 8 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:40,920 backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more so 9 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,920 this isn't Vision Tech's first portable SSD they actually had a product that let 10 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:50,239 you plug an MSA SSD into a little enclosure then connect that to your PC 11 00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:53,879 via USB 3 although it's certainly their 12 00:00:50,239 --> 00:00:56,480 much more elegant one so much like the 13 00:00:53,879 --> 00:01:00,640 9696 the 9718 they really got to work on their 14 00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:07,040 product names promises much better performance than a normal high-capacity 15 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:10,360 USB drive by using an LSI San Force 2281 16 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,000 SSD controller yeah the same kind that a 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,799 desktop SSD would use rather than a normal thumb drive controller to 18 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,920 interact with the flash chips on the drive but this time instead of some 19 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:26,720 cluggy dongle and fragile MCA Drive you're getting a solid aluminum housing 20 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,400 one that is evidently assembled in the USA if that kind of thing is important 21 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:34,640 to you that is both heavy and and rugged feeling enough for me to be fairly 22 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:39,799 confident that I could kill a man with it sorry I didn't tell him I was going 23 00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:44,399 to do that if the need arose it also has a metal keychain loop on one end a nice 24 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:49,200 upgrade from the last SSD controller based USB drive I checked out and a 25 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:54,560 standard rubber USB port cover a significant downgrade from other designs 26 00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:58,039 that I've seen that is sure to get lost quite quickly and then the last nice 27 00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:02,680 thing I have to say about it physically completing the sandwich is is that 28 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:08,160 compared to that other drive it's much skinnier making inserting it into 29 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,679 closely spaced ports much easier a bit 30 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:15,680 more on specs before we jump into benchmarks though it's backwards compatible with USB 2 but obviously 31 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:20,920 works best on a USB 3 port with support for uasp a data transfer protocol that's 32 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,840 better optimized for random reads and wrs and vision Tech claims that you can 33 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:30,640 achieve up to 445 megabytes per second read and 440 34 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:35,080 megabytes per second right well above what we were able to do with our flash 35 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:41,480 Voyager GTX from Corsair the only other similar SSD in your pocket based product 36 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:46,280 that we've seen so here we are we've got a pretty simple Benchmark Suite today 37 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:51,120 black Magic's disc speed test gives us a really clear idea of how this drive will 38 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:56,280 perform in what is in my daily life anyway a typical workload by reading and 39 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,840 writing compressible data to and from the drive it should be noted that it's 40 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,280 important that the data is compressed ible for a sand for space drive like 41 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:09,000 this because it will not perform nearly as well with incompressible data 42 00:03:06,799 --> 00:03:14,280 especially given how few flash chips there are on the drive 43 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:19,760 itself so while it appears that I wasn't able to replicate the numbers from the 44 00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:22,400 box this is still one wicked fast USB 45 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:28,000 drive about the same speed as our Angel bird SSD to go pocket that is 46 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:32,760 considerably bulkier and more expensive but then also available in higher 47 00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:38,280 capacities we've got a 120 gig version of The Vision Tech here but there's also 48 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:39,959 a 240 gig and that is pretty much it now 49 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:45,360 it should be noted guys when looking at these results that you will need to be 50 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:47,519 cognizant of what usb3 controller you're 51 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,519 using on your computer because if you have an older one you might not see 52 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,599 numbers this high with anything the Voyager GTX the vision Tech usb3 120 gig 53 00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,680 solid state drive man they got to work on their product names or the angel bird 54 00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:03,079 so thank you guys for watching like this video if you liked it dislike it if you 55 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000 disliked it leave a comment
