00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,640
Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,040
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:16,640
is nc.com so we're here in the ocz booth at

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:20,279
computex 2013 now they find themselves in a bit of an interesting position

5
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:24,039
where the move toward boards Enterprise Solutions has been underway for a very

6
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:28,840
long time but that doesn't mean you can necessarily abandon the consumer either

7
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:32,239
so while the vector hasn't been updated this drive's been on the market for

8
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:37,360
quite a while there are a couple of new additions to the product line so number

9
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:39,879
one is the vertex 450 right here so this

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:45,640
uses the same IND linkx Barefoot 3 controller as the vector but what it

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,719
adds is the latest 20 nanm n flash so

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,640
basically that gives you a cost savings now the problem right now is that with

13
00:00:49,879 --> 00:00:54,960
the Nan shortage that has been going on and I know most sort of general

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,039
consumers don't concern themselves with these things but they're very very real

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:02,039
and very very true unfortunately the pricing you've seen on ctor over the

16
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:05,720
last little while and the pricing you're seeing on vertex 450 now in the middle

17
00:01:03,879 --> 00:01:09,680
of a shortage isn't that different but in the future that should be an

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:14,000
advantage for the vertex 450 compared to the vector now this one right here is

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,680
definitely not about cost savings this is the vector PCIe so if you're familiar

20
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:23,119
with ocz's Revo drive line of products from the past basically it's a PCI

21
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:27,680
Express device so it's a PCI e4x interface you've got two indel link

22
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:32,680
Barefoot three controllers each with a full SSD on them so this eliminates the

23
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:39,960
SATA 3 bottleneck allowing it to achieve up to 1 gab per second as well as

24
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,079
140,000 iops per second which is much

25
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,000
more than you can possibly push over a single SATA 3 interface now we're going

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,880
to go around a corner which is going to be very hazardous for the entire team

27
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,920
moving around here with all these like wires going on so all this stuff on the

28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,439
left you've seen before but this guy right here is new now when we were at

29
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:01,600
CES we were showing off a software solution that ocz was working on that

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:06,439
would allow their SSD products to accelerate databases and accelerate

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:11,760
specific workloads in a very um in a very impactful way this guy right here

32
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:18,000
is pretty much where that product is headed so it's a hardware device this is

33
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:19,959
the ZD XL SQL accelerator and if you

34
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,120
don't know what it does then you just have to read the title it implements

35
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:28,080
some of the software development that they've done and adds it to what is a

36
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:32,319
dedicated device that is designed just for this so pretty much I'm not an

37
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,080
expert when it comes to SQL databases so the camera's looking at it right now

38
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:40,239
read that if none of it means anything to you then you're probably not the

39
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Target customer but if you do understand all of that then it should be pretty

40
00:02:41,959 --> 00:02:47,200
darn impressive don't miss any of our computex 2013 coverage don't forget

41
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,680
we're powered here at the show by Western Digital Corsair Vengeance gaming

42
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:55,599
peripherals and nc.com and as always don't forget to subscribe to Linus

43
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,879
techtips not quite sure what happened there but here we are in the ocz booth

44
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,720
where uh we are actually going to be showing off a couple of new products so

45
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:08,319
the fatality series of power supplies has been around for a pretty long time

46
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:12,000
at this point but now we have the new fatality Series so they're

47
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:17,280
launching a couple of different capacities the 750 watt as well as their

48
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,440
550 watt these are both fully modular power supplies so if you come around the

49
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,360
right side here you'll be able to have a look at how there are absolutely no

50
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:28,879
cables attached to them unfortunately unlike the fatality 1000 watt we don't

51
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,400
get the individually sleeved cables that made that particular PSU very very

52
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,519
impressive but what we do get is an updated feature set so they're 80 plus

53
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,920
bronze certified as well as having full support for Intel's Haswell fourth

54
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:45,480
generation core series processor what that basically means is even at

55
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:51,560
extremely low loads they're able to provide stable enough power that the

56
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:56,400
processor is able to go down into its C6 and C7 States giving you very very low

57
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,799
idle power consumption they also come with 5-year warranties and now I think

58
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:06,200
we're actually done with without sort of forgetting about anything no that's not

59
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,200
new
