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

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.120
really new by any stretch of the imagination and honestly it's not really

00:00:09.639 --> 00:00:16.560
that different from a consumer standpoint from the 330 series so it's a

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:21.160
sand Force drive just like the 520 series and just like the 330 series so

00:00:19.279 --> 00:00:25.359
that's the controller inside it uses Intel nand just like every drive from

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:30.480
Intel does and one of the advantages that Intel has as a nand technology

00:00:27.880 --> 00:00:34.200
developer and a nand manufacturer nand for you guys who don't know are the

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:38.320
chips that are the actual storage chips in here um so the advantage Intel has as

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:41.079
a manufacturers they get to kind of save the the cream of the cream for

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:45.200
themselves meaning they can provide their three-year warranty with uh lots

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.719
of confidence this is the desktop installation okay right sorry sorry so

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

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:57.680
nanometer nand in the other two drives Andel has done this without compromising

00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:03.280
performance so it's rated at exactly the same speeds in terms of sustained reads

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:04.760
and wrs as well as iops but it is at a

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

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:13.600
1880 gig one here today that includes the desktop installation kit so we're

00:01:11.720 --> 00:01:18.320
going to go ahead and see what they have to say for themselves so other than

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:20.759
their three-year warranty there the box

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:26.600
contains the SSD itself so there you go it's pretty

00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:30.840
standard SSD looks like an SSD I still remember the old Intel ssds where they

00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:35.240
had that uh that ghetto finish on the top of it that was just like absolutely

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

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

00:01:43.399 --> 00:01:47.719
like this in your system you might want to put it on display somewhere the old

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

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.039
on the bottom now but uh at any rate

00:01:53.079 --> 00:02:00.600
it's got your standard 9mm um form factor so that means it

00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:06.159
might not fit in the very slimmest of slim uh notebooks but just double check

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

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

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

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.080
a quick start guide giving you instructions on how to install it in

00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:27.280
your desktop as well as an installation guide and warranty dis It also says here

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.800
the Intel data migration software can be downloaded from Intel.com gosd

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:34.720
installation that's actually a huge value ad because migrating your system

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

00:02:36.920 --> 00:02:43.159
I've purchased software that I spent like 50 bucks on that's great for

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:48.440
migrating drives but not everyone wants to do that and not every brand of SSD

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.280
includes the software that you need or some of them include ones that are just

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:55.519
totally inadequate and don't work very well Intel's one I have used it works

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

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

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:07.519
to 3 in to 3 and 1/2 in desktop bracket

00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:12.200
so it includes everything you need to install it in a notebook or a desktop

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

00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:19.640
mainstream option so it's not intended as a replacement for the 520 series

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.200
which is their Extreme Performance SSD and I think that pretty much wraps it up

00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:25.879
thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the Intel 335 series

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

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:37.319
mention the actual advantage of 20m uh Nan flash is that it this drive consumes

00:03:35.239 --> 00:03:40.120
less power than the old 330 series so there you go I forgot something sorry

00:03:38.760 --> 00:03:44.159
about that it's not the first time I've done it I suppose
