a very exciting product this is the second to Market SATA 36 gbit per second SSD so this is the Intel 510 Series this is a 120 GB super fast according to Intel and I believe them super fast hard drive replacement drive it is high performance it is for desktop and mobile system so this is a 2 and 1/2 in drive and it includes a desktop installation kit that is how they achieve that so here we find Intel's product information so you can see here this is a 510 Series 120 gig capacity Drive okay there's not a whole lot else on here other than the pack date which is January 28th 2011 so Intel being ready for launches as they always are has these boxed up fully retail ready to go well before launch this box includes well we'll get to that once we actually open it and let's see what else Intel has to say for themselves do more wait less super fast hard drive alternative rugged silence solid SATA 6 gbit per second and 3 gbit per second compatible Now Intel with their usual tradition is providing or in line with their usual tradition is providing a three-year warranty on this product and oh look at this it's not sealed okay this side is sealed let's break the seal just because that's part of what I enjoy doing there we go ha let's open this baby up I'm actually really excited about this so the first sha 3 gbit per second SSD on the market was The crucial C300 and here we are we finally have an answer from Intel one of the big players in the SSD Market they really shook things up when they released the original x25 M so there's the SSD itself let's go a little bit further in and see what else we got ooh I love stickers I actually I actually really love stickers so uh this is a pretty nice sticker I would actually be pretty content to put this on something speed demon look a barcode all right just in case Intel needs to track their sticker inventory Intel SATA solid state drive here's a little thing thank you for purchasing in a wide variety of different languages basically thank you for purchasing okay next we've got one of those little mini CDs that I think are adorable open that up what's this okay installation guide and warranty oh on disc nice okay next we've got more environmentally friendly packaging hey look at that it comes with a SATA cable that's high class not a very nice SATA cable mind you that's a very thin thin SATA cable you might want to get your own SATA cable but my assumption is that this is in spite of its thinness and flexibility you know you could argue that thin and flexible is an advantage for a SATA cable uh it's got to be rated for SATA 6 gbit per second because it does come with a SATA 6 gbit per second drive and if I could get it to focus we could see what it's called here there it is what is that M phenol cool okay we've also got a Molex TOA power adapter included in the packaging oh look at that a locking SATA power adapter or connector I haven't actually seen one of those before interesting okay we got some screws there's case screws they include an extra one just in case and then here are screws for the SSD itself to bolt to the 2 and 1/2 in to 3 and 1/2 in adapter and they include an extra one of those just in case as well nice little touch from Intel here's the adapter so you mount one drive on there you mount this in your 3 and 1/2 in and then you're good to go nice solid steel adapter okay now we get to the goods here so we've got a careful observe precautions for handling this device and that is a wow you can only break that sticker once you can see it leaves behind an ugly residue okay and then we have Oo we have some do not eat and the SSD itself so here is the Intel SSD 510 series it uses a silver housing unlike you know what I think the first SSD sample I ever got was this one right here so that is my Intel x25 M80 gig and it was black and it had kind of a little uh plastic Ridge thing on it so it could be installed in varying thicknesses of notebook mounting mechanisms so this is actually the next Intel SSD sample I've received so it'll be interesting to see in terms of Aesthetics and in terms of performance how far they have come so we've got some specs here there's the 6 gbit SATA SSD so remember too guys that SATA 6 GB per second is physically identical to SATA 3 gbit per second as well as SATA 1 150 megabit per second so you don't have to worry about any backwards compatibility issues physically now some older chipsets like maybe SATA 1 chipsets might have trouble with a SATA 6 Drive although there's no reason to believe they would necessarily but just something to bear in mind Intel does specifically say though that it is compatible with SATA 3 6 GB per second and SATA 2 3 GB per second so it's got its usual mounting holes on the sides usual interface at the back ual mounting holes on the bottom and uh ooh this is interesting okay okay looks like we're going to uh looks like we're going to be doing a longer video than I had originally thought here because I'm going just dig into my backpack here find a screwdriver there are no warranty void if removed stickers on this drive so we're going to be opening this guy up and finding out what there is what Mysteries it holds inside so there's one screw sorry guys I apologize because it's a six-minute unboxing of a drive already but oh yeah performance why don't I talk about performance while we do this so Intel spec this drive for up to 470 megabytes per second read and up to 315 megabytes per second right speeds so what that means is that this is fully justified in using a SATA 3 6 GB per second interface now there are some SATA 36 gbit per second hard drives out there that really don't even begin to approach needing that kind of sorry these are really hard to remove needing that kind of bandwidth for the amount of data that they can actually read and write sequentially now this drive also uses actually okay I'm not going to spoil that surprise but in in terms of its spec it speced for up to 20,000 uh 4K random reads per second and 50,000 4K random rights per second okay it uses here we go Intel flash this is 34 nanm Flash and a Marvel controller let's go ahead and take this PCB out of here so it's double-sided Okay so we've got eight chips on the one side eight chips as well as what appears to be a cache so we've got a controller a cache and then a 16 chip solution um Intel also calls out that it's specifically compatible with their six series chipsets although it'll work just fine probably with any other SATA 3 6 GB per second controller and it is available in two capacities the 120 gig that we are looking at here today and at launch it is also available in a 250 gig configuration do not take your drive apart the way that I have I don't recommend it that is not not what tech tips is all about it's about me doing it so you don't have to but other than that thank you for watching and don't forget to subscribe to lineus techtips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos and stay tuned on my NC Tech tips channel for more information about this drive"}
