00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,680
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Intel 335 series SSD now this isn't

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,120
really new by any stretch of the imagination and honestly it's not really

3
00:00:09,639 --> 00:00:16,560
that different from a consumer standpoint from the 330 series so it's a

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,160
sand Force drive just like the 520 series and just like the 330 series so

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:25,359
that's the controller inside it uses Intel nand just like every drive from

6
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:30,480
Intel does and one of the advantages that Intel has as a nand technology

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:34,200
developer and a nand manufacturer nand for you guys who don't know are the

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:38,320
chips that are the actual storage chips in here um so the advantage Intel has as

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,079
a manufacturers they get to kind of save the the cream of the cream for

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,200
themselves meaning they can provide their three-year warranty with uh lots

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,719
of confidence this is the desktop installation okay right sorry sorry so

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:54,000
it's a sand Force drive just like the other ones but the difference is that it uses 20 nanometer nand as opposed to 25

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,680
nanometer nand in the other two drives Andel has done this without compromising

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:03,280
performance so it's rated at exactly the same speeds in terms of sustained reads

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,760
and wrs as well as iops but it is at a

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,799
fairly aggressive price point out there in the market it's available at a couple of different capacities so I've got the

17
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:13,600
1880 gig one here today that includes the desktop installation kit so we're

18
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:18,320
going to go ahead and see what they have to say for themselves so other than

19
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:20,759
their three-year warranty there the box

20
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:26,600
contains the SSD itself so there you go it's pretty

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:30,840
standard SSD looks like an SSD I still remember the old Intel ssds where they

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:35,240
had that uh that ghetto finish on the top of it that was just like absolutely

23
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,360
brutal and made it look like uh like a third tier SSD now they have a much more

24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,960
professional looking finish on the top and I mean this might seem like sort of a a quibble but when you put something

25
00:01:43,399 --> 00:01:47,719
like this in your system you might want to put it on display somewhere the old

26
00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:53,079
ones were just kind of br oh there there's that old finish so they hit it

27
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:55,039
on the bottom now but uh at any rate

28
00:01:53,079 --> 00:02:00,600
it's got your standard 9mm um form factor so that means it

29
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:06,159
might not fit in the very slimmest of slim uh notebooks but just double check

30
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:11,319
make sure that uh you need a 9mm drive as opposed to a 7mm drive and you'll be

31
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:15,840
good to go uh next up inside we've got a speed demon sticker right there so you

32
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,120
can put that on your forehead or your dog or wherever else you want to put it

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:23,080
a quick start guide giving you instructions on how to install it in

34
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:27,280
your desktop as well as an installation guide and warranty dis It also says here

35
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,800
the Intel data migration software can be downloaded from Intel.com gosd

36
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,720
installation that's actually a huge value ad because migrating your system

37
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:38,480
from a hard drive to an SSD can be a bit of a pain in the butt I mean personally

38
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:43,159
I've purchased software that I spent like 50 bucks on that's great for

39
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:48,440
migrating drives but not everyone wants to do that and not every brand of SSD

40
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:51,280
includes the software that you need or some of them include ones that are just

41
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,519
totally inadequate and don't work very well Intel's one I have used it works

42
00:02:53,560 --> 00:03:00,120
only on Intel drives and it works really really well so there you go we've got a

43
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:06,200
MOX TOA power adapter all the screws you need a SATA cable as well as a 2 and 1/2

44
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,519
to 3 in to 3 and 1/2 in desktop bracket

45
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:12,200
so it includes everything you need to install it in a notebook or a desktop

46
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:15,319
system and I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it it's a

47
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,640
mainstream option so it's not intended as a replacement for the 520 series

48
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,200
which is their Extreme Performance SSD and I think that pretty much wraps it up

49
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:25,879
thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the Intel 335 series

50
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:32,360
SSD don't forget to subscribe F this Tech tips for unboxings reviews and other computer videos yeah I forgot to

51
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:37,319
mention the actual advantage of 20m uh Nan flash is that it this drive consumes

52
00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:40,120
less power than the old 330 series so there you go I forgot something sorry

53
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,159
about that it's not the first time I've done it I suppose
