00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:07,680
today we're going to be doing an unboxing of a new SSD from Kingston This

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,160
is their SSD now v+ so we've already talked about the SSD now v+ series an

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:17,920
awful lot I did a full install guide where I showed upgrading my laptop from

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:20,320
a 5400 RPM mobile hard drive to an SSD

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:26,760
now v+ but this one is slightly different this is their 100e series of

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,640
SSD now v+ and this one is fully

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:33,559
encrypted so that means your data is completely protected when it is on this

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:38,360
drive now what exactly does that mean well it has 120 bit AES Hardware

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,280
encryption which means that you're not fooling around with any kind of software

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:46,559
solution it increases your system and application performance well that's just

11
00:00:43,879 --> 00:00:51,079
a characteristic of an SSD in general and it increases reliability so that's

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:55,079
another General SSD ability so let's go ahead and take this guy out and have a

13
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:58,079
look this is a 64 gig Drive although it is available in different capacities

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:04,320
depending on your needs and let's just kind of sorry I

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,159
have to focus when I'm using knives

16
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:11,439
because otherwise I could damage my unboxing

17
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:17,040
fingers without those I mean I wouldn't be able to unbox

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:21,240
anything and I'd be in real

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,320
trouble okay here we go so oh they're

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:28,479
claiming up to five times faster than a standard 5400 RPM hard drive I mean uh I

21
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,320
would say that's probably conservative depending on what you're doing because

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,079
if you're using a 5400 RPM hard drive I mean obviously they're targeting this

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,680
skew at notebooks for business users who might not want people having

24
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:45,320
unauthorized access to their hard drive but depending what you're doing I mean

25
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:47,079
an SSD can just blow away a standard

26
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:52,079
hard drive like if you're doing lots of little data accesses versus sustained

27
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:55,000
data transfer so here we go English so you got some system requirements you

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,920
need a SATA interface and power connector handling precautions be very

29
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:03,119
careful with it uh don't you know rub your feet around on the C it and then

30
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:07,039
touch touch it to try and zap it because that's a terrible idea uh set up ATA

31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,039
security C passwords here we go hey check this out

32
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:15,239
okay so this is how the encryption works so never lose misplace or forget your

33
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:20,400
master Andor user password never do that once you enable an ATA security password

34
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,480
this SSD will be permanently inaccessible if your password is lost

35
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:29,959
misplaced or stolen so administrators and managers we recommend that you set a

36
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:31,400
master password which cannot be reset if

37
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:36,920
lost misplaced or soulen therefore always store the master password in a safe secure location so there you go you

38
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:41,040
better be careful once youve set this guy up if you like get hit in the head

39
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:44,480
really hard and you develop Amnesia you're in real trouble unless someone

40
00:02:42,959 --> 00:02:47,640
else has the master password and they can bail you out so you've got your

41
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:51,200
standard mounting holes which are on the bottom or on the sides for 2 and 1/2 in

42
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,680
drives just like that you know it's actually substantially heavier than most

43
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:58,000
ssds that I've encountered in the past as well you've got a little warranty

44
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,480
void if remove sticker here so please don't take the drive apart you've got a

45
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,680
standard SATA 2 interface at the back that means SATA 2 power as well as SATA

46
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:09,319
2 Data along with some jumpers and that's pretty much it I mean the finish

47
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,959
of the drive is quite nice but what this really comes down to is who needs

48
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:19,599
this let's say you're working on you know a top secret project for the

49
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:22,480
military or you're working on something for you know your company that you don't

50
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:28,720
want to get into the hands of your competitors you want to make sure that even if your laptop is stolen or lost

51
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:34,959
any data that you have on it cannot be accessed unless it's being turned on by

52
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:37,560
you this is what you need because I mean

53
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:41,239
really uh it's so easy to break past a Windows password or to just take a drive

54
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:45,239
out throw it in another system and then access all the data that there's no

55
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:48,400
security at all with a regular Drive whereas if you have a hardware encrypted

56
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:53,159
drive you can actually protect it from anyone who is trying to steal your data
