WEBVTT

00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:07.399
so I'll no longer be doing unboxings in the cameraman's office because I finally

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:13.320
have my own legitimate office cameraman if you could do a quick 360 here and pan

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:17.039
around check out the new

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:18.400
office yeah there that was awkward so

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:24.199
today we're going to be unboxing the Kingston SSD now V series solid state

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:26.760
drive this is a 128 gig drive and it is

00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:29.960
part of their uh notebook upgrade kit series of drives so it's a vs series

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

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

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

00:00:42.160 --> 00:00:49.000
the NC website okay so we got the V

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.399
series Gen 2 128 gig you can see it's

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.640
actually on special this week if you wanted to buy this without the laptop

00:00:52.199 --> 00:00:59.199
upgrade kit it's only2 54.99 apparently I unboxed it once

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:03.800
already without the laptop upgrade kit but um I guess that doesn't really

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

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

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

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:21.479
second read and 160 megabytes per second right and check this out see this drawer

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

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

00:01:27.880 --> 00:01:37.720
Kingston includes with their 28 gig notebook upgrade kit so first of all we

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:39.040
have the outer sleeve that comes off and

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

00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:49.840
that pretty much goes for all decent quality ssds these days and the Kingston

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:52.600
one is definitely decent quality uh if

00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:57.680
not excellent quality so oh cool that has a Kingston logo on the plastic then

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:01.240
we have a driver disc oh no this is cloning software this is really useful

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:04.399
then so so basically what makes this a laptop upgrade kit is that it has

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:09.000
everything you need to take your existing laptop hard drive and transfer

00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:12.400
it directly onto this Kingston SSD so you use the hard drive cloning kit along

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:17.200
with the included 2 and 1/2 in hard drive

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:23.040
enclosure so you throw your SSD in the drive enclosure or vice versa I guess

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

00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:35.239
software to completely copy all of your old hard drive contents onto the new SSD

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:38.280
you've also got a MOX 2 SATA adapter for

00:02:35.239 --> 00:02:39.840
power for whatever reason okay not

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

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:49.200
SSD itself okay so it's got a nice sort of

00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:55.080
dark uh blackish grayish finish on it you can see this is an evaluation SSD so

00:02:52.480 --> 00:03:00.400
it is not for resale uh the warranty is void if you remove this particular screw

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

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

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

00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:17.799
it's too thick I've seen that before uh with something like the seate

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

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

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

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

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

00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:41.920
basic Drive enclosure because I guess it's pretty much intended to be used

00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:45.640
once though actually here okay so we'll show

00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:50.040
the installation procedure why not it's that easy you just slide off the top

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

00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:57.680
then you close it that was incredibly easy you know this is probably the

00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:02.360
easiest to install external drive enclosure I've ever seen and uh it comes

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

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

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

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:22.240
turns on I'm going to just sort of close my reports and my uh

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:26.280
MSN and this while the cameraman doesn't look at my

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

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

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

00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:45.720
tip not everyone knows how to do this if you rightclick computer and then click

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

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:53.080
faster than mine where you can actually

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

00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.840
snap-in console whatever that means I've never seen this take that

00:05:00.039 --> 00:05:07.440
long there we go finally dis management and that is where you are able to

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.440
initialize a new disc um format an existing one you can actually rearrange

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:15.240
the drive letters so if you want to change your your C drive to your Zed

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

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

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

00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:33.120
notebook upgrade kit and this is the 128

00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.120
