WEBVTT 00:00:07.399 --> 00:00:14.759 welcome to an exciting unboxing this is the Samsung 830 series now I've been 00:00:12.639 --> 00:00:20.680 asked a lot of times to talk about the 830 series but the cold hard truth was I 00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:26.720 didn't have one now I do now I can talk about it because the sound okay here 00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:33.440 let's start with some context here guys Samsung is the world's number one SSD 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:37.399 everything they are doing so many OEM 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:40.640 drives they okay when you're Samsung you 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:44.280 actually build every component of the 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:47.000 SSD nobody else does that even Intel I 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:51.320 mean they Fab flash so they do they do flash 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:57.239 um they don't do their own controller anymore okay so let's find let's find 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:59.320 other guys um Micron doesn't use their 00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:02.559 own controller they use their own flash but not their own controller I mean you 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:06.960 look at guys like ocz where they're designing firmwares and they are working 00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:11.640 on controller designs and all that but they don't actually build it and they 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:16.360 don't actually Fab flash they just get huge volume discounts due to their 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:18.920 hugeness so Samsung is the only one that 00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:24.000 actually builds the entire thing from the ground up in every possible way what 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:27.159 advantages does that give them well number one it gives them a cost 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.360 Advantage so they can deliver high performance products at very competitive 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:36.200 costs what other advantages does it give them it gives them full control of the 00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:40.200 creative process of creating the drive so if there's anything that goes well 00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:43.720 with the drive Samsung knows who to give the credit to if there's anything that 00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:47.399 goes wrong with the drive there's no one for Samsung to blame that gives them a 00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:52.240 vested interest in making sure that everything they do is really good 00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:57.640 because they're like yeah there you go there's no ambiguity about who screwed 00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.200 it up if something goes wrong this is the desktop upgrade version of their 00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:04.200 drive so it comes in a full retail box and includes a whole bunch of really 00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:08.599 cool stuff so you got a MOX TOA power adapter a SATA cable all the mounting 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.319 screws you could possibly need whether you're installing it in uh actually well 00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:19.239 notebooks will come with all the mounting screws you need so these will Mount the SSD to this and then they will 00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:21.400 Mount this to your computer comes with a 00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:25.840 copy of Norton Ghost cool so this will allow you to quickly and easily upgrade 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:31.560 your existing drive to your SSD comes with their interactive manual 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:35.640 magician software and SSD manual comes with a hard copy of their quick user 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:39.760 manual unpack look at this unpacking it has a guide for what I'm doing I can 00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:45.959 follow the instructions of how to do an unboxing atem page four 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:49.519 unpacking check your product box for the following items please refer to the back 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:52.560 of the package to see the installation kit you have purchased the illustrations 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:59.200 May differ from your actual items that's pretty much what I do isn't 00:02:55.920 --> 00:03:00.840 it all right it also includes nice 00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:04.680 solidly built built desktop adapter so you mount your SSD here you mount your 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.519 thing to your case and then even if your case doesn't natively support 2 and 1 12 00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:13.159 in drives you'll have no problem installing it so this is an 830 Drive 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:16.720 the 830 Drive is pretty much as good as it gets out there in terms of 00:03:14.480 --> 00:03:20.400 performance it has a threeyear warranty and it does not have the same 00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:23.840 disadvantage that a sandforce controller has where it performs really well with 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:27.560 compressible data it's doing data compression on the Fly and uncompression 00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:30.560 on the fly when it's writing and reading what that means is in order to achieve 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:35.319 the speeds they've gone for they need a faster well not a faster controller they 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:39.080 need faster Flash and they need to very very carefully build it and tune it in 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.239 order to ensure that sandforce doesn't absolutely blow it away when it comes to 00:03:41.239 --> 00:03:47.400 compressible data so a Samsung Drive will perform the same regardless of what 00:03:45.480 --> 00:03:50.720 you're doing on it compared to a sandforce drive will perform 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:55.480 significantly better in certain applications and significantly worse in 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.120 others uh one of the other oh yeah this is one of the other things one of the 00:03:56.760 --> 00:04:02.840 other things that Samsung has an advantage of with when they're building 00:04:00.519 --> 00:04:06.879 their own stuff is that they get to keep all the best for themselves flash is all 00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:11.879 about binning so if you guys don't understand the binning process we actually have an ncx Tech tips episode 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:16.400 that's all about binning what it means but what in a nutshell it means that 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:19.639 they produce a bunch of Flash and cherry pick everything they want and then 00:04:17.799 --> 00:04:23.080 anything they don't want well that can go to someone else to build USB thumb 00:04:21.320 --> 00:04:25.880 drives what do they care they took the best stuff they used it in their own 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:30.560 products to make sure that their customers get the absolute cream of the 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:34.400 crop that gives you better reliability it gives you better speeds and it gives 00:04:32.520 --> 00:04:38.199 you well in terms of for Samsung it gives them lower RMA rates and better 00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:42.440 brand perception so it's good for absolutely everybody um so there's your 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.240 Samsung logo there's your brush Metal finish there's your capacity indication 00:04:44.840 --> 00:04:49.160 on the side you find your standard mounting holes on the other side you 00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:53.600 find your other more different standard mounting holes and then on the bottom you find your completely more different 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:57.080 than those standard mounting holes depending on what kind of a notebook you 00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:00.919 have this is also a slim SSD which is great because it means that you can 00:04:58.320 --> 00:05:06.039 install it anywhere um some notebook computers only have 00:05:03.080 --> 00:05:10.880 room for slim ssds so there's a there's about that much more on some ssds makes 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:13.880 them a little bit thicker so whoops I almost dropped it but I didn't but it 00:05:12.479 --> 00:05:17.759 wouldn't have mattered because Flash is very durable and is can can handle that 00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:21.880 on the back we find our SATA power connector as well as our SATA 3 6 gbit 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:24.680 per second interface and I think that pretty much covers it for now don't 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:29.520 forget subscribe to L Tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos and thank you for watching my 00:05:27.360 -->
