1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:07,399
so I'll no longer be doing unboxings in the cameraman's office because I finally

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:13,320
have my own legitimate office cameraman if you could do a quick 360 here and pan

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:17,039
around check out the new

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,400
office yeah there that was awkward so

5
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:24,199
today we're going to be unboxing the Kingston SSD now V series solid state

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,760
drive this is a 128 gig drive and it is

7
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:29,960
part of their uh notebook upgrade kit series of drives so it's a vs series

8
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:35,520
Drive which means it's a little bit slow slower than a v+ but still a very fast

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,559
SSD let me just see if I can find the specs on the box here okay you know what

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:45,399
no so I'm going to cheat a little bit and I'm going to go Kingston SSD now on

11
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,000
the NC website okay so we got the V

12
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:50,399
series Gen 2 128 gig you can see it's

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,640
actually on special this week if you wanted to buy this without the laptop

14
00:00:52,199 --> 00:00:59,199
upgrade kit it's only2 54.99 apparently I unboxed it once

15
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:03,800
already without the laptop upgrade kit but um I guess that doesn't really

16
00:01:01,559 --> 00:01:08,119
matter there's no uh wow that was when I was using that table in my house that's

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:12,240
not a very good place to do an unboxing so I'll be doing them in my new

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,920
office that'll be way better okay so the 128 gig is up to 200 megabytes per

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,479
second read and 160 megabytes per second right and check this out see this drawer

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,079
I'm going to be keeping a knife in it yeah so now we've got even that is all

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,600
taken care of so let's get this opened up and have a look at exactly what

22
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Kingston includes with their 28 gig notebook upgrade kit so first of all we

23
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,040
have the outer sleeve that comes off and

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:43,560
I guess there's something on here okay so it says it's fast reliable and Silent

25
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:49,840
that pretty much goes for all decent quality ssds these days and the Kingston

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:52,600
one is definitely decent quality uh if

27
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:57,680
not excellent quality so oh cool that has a Kingston logo on the plastic then

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,240
we have a driver disc oh no this is cloning software this is really useful

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:04,399
then so so basically what makes this a laptop upgrade kit is that it has

30
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:09,000
everything you need to take your existing laptop hard drive and transfer

31
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,400
it directly onto this Kingston SSD so you use the hard drive cloning kit along

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,200
with the included 2 and 1/2 in hard drive

33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:23,040
enclosure so you throw your SSD in the drive enclosure or vice versa I guess

34
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:27,280
then you use a USB cable to plug it into your computer then you use the cloning

35
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:35,239
software to completely copy all of your old hard drive contents onto the new SSD

36
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:38,280
you've also got a MOX 2 SATA adapter for

37
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:39,840
power for whatever reason okay not

38
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,640
really sure why let's get the drive opened up and we'll have a look at the

39
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:49,200
SSD itself okay so it's got a nice sort of

40
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:55,080
dark uh blackish grayish finish on it you can see this is an evaluation SSD so

41
00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:00,400
it is not for resale uh the warranty is void if you remove this particular screw

42
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:04,440
over here you've got mounting options uh for 2 and 1/2 in drives on both the

43
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:09,879
sides as well as on the bottom so you're going to be able to mount this in any

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:14,560
laptop okay it is a thin drive so it's not going to not fit in a laptop because

45
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,799
it's too thick I've seen that before uh with something like the seate

46
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:21,560
Velociraptor even though it's 2 and 1/2 in it's actually too thick so that's

47
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,159
something to bear in mind and I guess that pretty much covers it it's got a

48
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Kingston label on the top which is all shiny and then we've got our SATA power

49
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:34,560
as well as SATA 2 Data connector at the back and cameraman wants me to have sort

50
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,560
of a closer look at the drive enclosure that's included so this is a very very

51
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,920
basic Drive enclosure because I guess it's pretty much intended to be used

52
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,640
once though actually here okay so we'll show

53
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:50,040
the installation procedure why not it's that easy you just slide off the top

54
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:53,920
Slide the SSD in it Clips in just like that so it's not going to come out and

55
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,680
then you close it that was incredibly easy you know this is probably the

56
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:02,360
easiest to install external drive enclosure I've ever seen and uh it comes

57
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:07,040
for free with the drive so you can't really complain yeah there you slide it on from the top just like that and then

58
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,799
you got your you know what here why don't we just see if this works there

59
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,199
I'm going to plug it into my USB cable on my computer here okay power light

60
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:22,240
turns on I'm going to just sort of close my reports and my uh

61
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:26,280
MSN and this while the cameraman doesn't look at my

62
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:31,840
screen doesn't look at my screen closing all my stuff there we go okay so my

63
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:37,000
devic is already to use and I can go into my computer and I can access it

64
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:40,240
just like oh no I can't okay well what I'll do actually this is an interesting

65
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,720
tip not everyone knows how to do this if you rightclick computer and then click

66
00:04:43,479 --> 00:04:50,600
manage then in theory it'll bring up the prompt if your computer is a little bit

67
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:53,080
faster than mine where you can actually

68
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,960
manage your drives let's try that one more time there we go it is adding a

69
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:02,840
snap-in console whatever that means I've never seen this take that

70
00:05:00,039 --> 00:05:07,440
long there we go finally dis management and that is where you are able to

71
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,440
initialize a new disc um format an existing one you can actually rearrange

72
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:15,240
the drive letters so if you want to change your your C drive to your Zed

73
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:19,720
drive if you feel like it or your D drive to your X drive you can do that in

74
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,360
here it is going incredibly slow and I can't figure out why it's doing that but

75
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:29,720
either way that's where you do it so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Kingston SSD now V series

76
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:33,120
notebook upgrade kit and this is the 128

77
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,120
