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

00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:11.679
free with press kits about new products or whatever on them they've got to do

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:15.000
something pretty special in order to grab my attention especially if they

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:20.480
come from a company that doesn't normally even make USB drives like

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.480
Vision

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:33.480
Tech Corsair gaming RGB keyboards feature Precision Cherry MX RG GB key

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:35.559
switches for 16.8 million color per key

00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:40.920
backlighting for virtually unlimited customization click now to learn more so

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:44.920
this isn't Vision Tech's first portable SSD they actually had a product that let

00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:50.239
you plug an MSA SSD into a little enclosure then connect that to your PC

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:53.879
via USB 3 although it's certainly their

00:00:50.239 --> 00:00:56.480
much more elegant one so much like the

00:00:53.879 --> 00:01:00.640
9696 the 9718 they really got to work on their

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:07.040
product names promises much better performance than a normal high-capacity

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:10.360
USB drive by using an LSI San Force 2281

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:13.000
SSD controller yeah the same kind that a

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:16.799
desktop SSD would use rather than a normal thumb drive controller to

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.920
interact with the flash chips on the drive but this time instead of some

00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:26.720
cluggy dongle and fragile MCA Drive you're getting a solid aluminum housing

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:30.400
one that is evidently assembled in the USA if that kind of thing is important

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:34.640
to you that is both heavy and and rugged feeling enough for me to be fairly

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

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

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:49.200
upgrade from the last SSD controller based USB drive I checked out and a

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:54.560
standard rubber USB port cover a significant downgrade from other designs

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

00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:02.680
thing I have to say about it physically completing the sandwich is is that

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:08.160
compared to that other drive it's much skinnier making inserting it into

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.679
closely spaced ports much easier a bit

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

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

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:24.840
better optimized for random reads and wrs and vision Tech claims that you can

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:30.640
achieve up to 445 megabytes per second read and 440

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:35.080
megabytes per second right well above what we were able to do with our flash

00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:41.480
Voyager GTX from Corsair the only other similar SSD in your pocket based product

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

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

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:56.280
perform in what is in my daily life anyway a typical workload by reading and

00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:59.840
writing compressible data to and from the drive it should be noted that it's

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.280
important that the data is compressed ible for a sand for space drive like

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:09.000
this because it will not perform nearly as well with incompressible data

00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:14.280
especially given how few flash chips there are on the drive

00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:19.760
itself so while it appears that I wasn't able to replicate the numbers from the

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:22.400
box this is still one wicked fast USB

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:28.000
drive about the same speed as our Angel bird SSD to go pocket that is

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:32.760
considerably bulkier and more expensive but then also available in higher

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

00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:39.959
a 240 gig and that is pretty much it now

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:45.360
it should be noted guys when looking at these results that you will need to be

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.519
cognizant of what usb3 controller you're

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.519
using on your computer because if you have an older one you might not see

00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:55.599
numbers this high with anything the Voyager GTX the vision Tech usb3 120 gig

00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.680
solid state drive man they got to work on their product names or the angel bird

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
