1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:05,520
3 2 1 go so guys I'm here in the ocz

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:10,120
suite and we've actually got a ton of new stuff even more than we saw at CES

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,599
201010 so there's a few things here that probably won't have much relevance to

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,119
your everyday consumer now but it's a bit of a glimpse into what we're going

5
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:24,760
to see in the future so this is a very early mockup of what's called an Ibis XL

6
00:00:21,439 --> 00:00:27,880
so this uses the proprietary ocz hsdl

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,279
interface which is much much faster than

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:34,840
even SATA 6 GB per second so you see that back there it looks kind of like a

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:40,399
SAS connection but like I said it is significantly faster so this guy is

10
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:42,360
available in capacities up to 4 terab

11
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:48,079
and then beyond that you can even expand it to up to 16 terab so uh that's pretty

12
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:51,840
much unheard of at this point for an SSD so moving right along this is what I was

13
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:55,399
talking about before this is hsdl this is their Ibis Drive I've actually

14
00:00:53,239 --> 00:00:58,640
unboxed this on my channel in the past so you guys should be pretty familiar

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:03,320
with this well here's an optical version of hsdl so now we're converting hsdl

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,720
into an optical signal that we can carry over a much thinner and probably

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,759
potentially a much longer C uh cable depending on the applications that we're

18
00:01:09,759 --> 00:01:15,040
trying to go for here so that is one of the things that they are showcasing here

19
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,640
in the suite moving over we have some more things that we're already familiar

20
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,920
with this is Revo Drive X2 this is a bootable uh I believe it uses quad

21
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,360
controllers for sand Force SF 1200

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,840
controllers you can actually hear if I can get my camera man to come in and

23
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:32,320
have a look at the overall specs so you guys can read that uh rather than me

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:37,880
listing off everything but there's the key one up to

25
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,720
120,000 4K iops this is a consumer level

26
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:46,600
product it is pricey but it is Within Reach Revo Drive is fewer controllers

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,280
lesser performance not bootable but still a very high performance storage

28
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:53,640
solution so let's keep moving on down here and we're going to find some more

29
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:57,600
interesting stuff this is z Drive R3 and what's cool about this guy is that not

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:02,759
only does do we have Z Drive level performance we are using a newer sand

31
00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:08,039
Force controller the 1565 and we also have full support for trim so even

32
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:13,760
though this is a raid on a card we do have trim support so that is just a a

33
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,879
first I have never seen an SSD drive in person before that supports raid and

34
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:22,800
trim well internal raid and trim at the same time Z Drive R2 we've seen this

35
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,519
before as far as I can recall and this is a cool one over here so this is

36
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,560
Helios this guy uses SAS 2 6 GB per

37
00:02:27,519 --> 00:02:32,959
second this same thing here ocz has

38
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:38,239
built in custom logic that allows it to use an internal raid without actually

39
00:02:35,959 --> 00:02:42,920
booting into a raid BIOS configuring the drive and doing everything manually what

40
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:47,480
that means is they have bypassed all of the limitations that existed in the past

41
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,519
for these internal raid drives but they're still able to deliver

42
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,920
outstanding performance so up here you can have a quick look with um the ones

43
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:01,400
that we're looking at right now we're looking at up to 85k iops at 4K but with

44
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:05,920
the newer controllers we can potentially even double that so these are deneva

45
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:08,840
drives these ones are like I said not everything here is going to be relevant

46
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,440
to Consumers these are mostly geared towards corporate customers and moving

47
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,760
along we have quite a few things that we're familiar with like vertex 2x

48
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:21,280
that's an SLC version of the vertex 2 we also have the vertex 3 Pro these are

49
00:03:19,239 --> 00:03:26,159
preliminary specifications these are not finalized this is using the new

50
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,040
sandforce SF 2582 controller which

51
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:33,640
supports SATA 3 6 GB per second so check out those reads right speeds those are

52
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:38,400
well above the maximum rated throw put of SATA 2 so that is why we did need to

53
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:43,720
move well we ocz did need to move to a SATA 3 interface vertex 3 ex is that

54
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:48,200
except SLC flash so slightly better performance better longevity let's keep

55
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:52,959
moving along here vertex 2 Pro is pretty much like vertex 2 except it uses an SF

56
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:57,000
1500 controller which means it does have power loss data protection it has a

57
00:03:54,519 --> 00:04:00,519
super cap on it not necessarily real relevant for your everyday average Joe

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:06,799
consumer but it's a great option to have here's a Vertex 2 and a

59
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,159
1.8 in form factor here's the vertex 2

60
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:13,480
we're very familiar with and this is a neat one so this is a vertex 2 3 and 1/2

61
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:16,759
in drive but instead of using a big uh boxy enclosure like here you can see

62
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,479
let's compare it against the ibys I want to get that top down here up here and

63
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:26,000
then down yeah top down perspective on these so you can see they've built a

64
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,960
much Slimmer 3 and 1/2 in enclosure for

65
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,759
that vertex to drive much sleeker and sexier look looking here we have Onyx

66
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:37,360
and Onyx 2 based on indel links and sf200 so we've seen that before so

67
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,600
that's it for the ocz ssds here in their Booth don't forget to subscribe to lus

68
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:45,880
Tech tips and I've got more videos coming on CES and cut go so just as a

69
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:51,039
quick correction to what I said over there uh the rbo drive original version

70
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,280
is bootable my bad so anyway let's have a look at this guy right here so I

71
00:04:52,440 --> 00:05:01,199
showed you the Z Drive R3 already but here we actually have a working sample

72
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:06,520
and this is I'm not 100% sure if this is going to be the finalized firmware

73
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:09,919
finalized PCB layout all that good stuff

74
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,680
but this drive is booted it is working

75
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:15,680
in a computer remember this is fully trim capable and it features internal

76
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:19,560
raid with the Next Generation sand Force controller and here you can actually see

77
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:26,240
if you have some context for good for addo benchmarks you can see right here

78
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:29,800
we've got uh read speeds uh anywhere

79
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,720
above anywhere above about 128 wow we're

80
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:37,360
seeing up to about 1 Gigabyte per second remember that's not 1 gabit that's 1 gab

81
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:44,520
per second read speeds up at the very very highend and even approaching 1 gab

82
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:44,520
per second on rights as well so that's

83
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,319
outstanding one go we got another thing

84
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:52,199
to check out here in the ocz suite I'm sorry the lighting is so bad in here

85
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:56,440
guys so my cameraman's going to have to get pretty close to show you these

86
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:01,199
products so we have a return of the original silencer power supplies from PC

87
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,919
power cooling so at risk of wrecking their demo I'm going to go ahead and

88
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:08,800
pick this up and I'm going to show you guys the back of this unit so it does

89
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:10,639
use an 80 mm cooling fan but in order to

90
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,880
reduce airflow turbulence through the power supply they've actually shifted a

91
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:19,000
lot of the components and cooling up to the front of the power supply so that

92
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:23,440
right around the fan you don't get that that hissing sound of the air rushing

93
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:27,520
around components so that's one of the ways that they've really optimized this

94
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,960
for silence now these are both 80 plus silver models I'm not actually sure

95
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,919
which capacities are available other than these two but so far we've got a

96
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,400
760 watt as well as a 910 Watt and one of the things that really stands out

97
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:45,240
about these guys other than the wide variety of connections on them is right

98
00:06:41,919 --> 00:06:47,720
here these feature a 7year warranty so

99
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:51,280
that is pretty outstanding right there next on sort of the other end of the

100
00:06:49,479 --> 00:06:54,840
spectrum we've got the Zs Series so this is a bit of a replacement for the

101
00:06:52,599 --> 00:06:59,879
stealth Extreme 2 they've added 80 plus bronze certification we've got a 3-year

102
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,759
warranty 500 600 and 7 700 wat

103
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:07,680
capacities and one thing that they have added on the 700 watt is four dedicated

104
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,800
PCI E connectors so you can run a modern

105
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:13,039
system with dual gpus off of the 700 wat

106
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:19,039
Zs Series without any difficulty whatsoever and then this is this is the

107
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,240
big guns so this is the ZX Series the

108
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:25,759
right here I'm holding the 1250 W power supply but there's an 850 W as well as a

109
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:30,800
1,000 W version that are also available you can see these feature a fully

110
00:07:27,479 --> 00:07:32,680
modular interface with dedicated PCI E

111
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:37,039
connectors now you can see right here these modular connections are all 8 Pin

112
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:41,520
so these are all 6 plus two pin connectors that means you can run three

113
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:42,879
gpus regardless of what kind and uh

114
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:46,479
you're not going to run out of connectors now a lot of power supplies

115
00:07:44,919 --> 00:07:50,960
will actually give you a bunch of PCI Express connectors and then they'll give

116
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,280
you one CPU one and one like combo CPU PCI E1 and then you end you end up with

117
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,720
like one odd man out so they have not gone that route they have given you two

118
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:03,759
dedicated EPS 8 Pin connectors five peripheral connectors and then one full

119
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,120
24 pin ATX I'm actually going to pick up the lowest wattage one here and I'm

120
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,240
going to see if we have a comparable uh business end of that one

121
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:17,479
so the only thing missing on this guy versus the 1250 wat unit is uh two PCI E

122
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:21,520
or 8 Pin connectors and that makes sense cuz this is an 850 W power supply and

123
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,319
that probably wouldn't be suitable so these guys are all 80 plus gold like I

124
00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:28,560
said fully modular and they do come with a 5year warranty so thank you for
