00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.640
Linus Tech tips coverage of computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital our

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.040
trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance and our trusted retail partner

00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:16.640
is nc.com so we're here in the ocz booth at

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:20.279
computex 2013 now they find themselves in a bit of an interesting position

00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:24.039
where the move toward boards Enterprise Solutions has been underway for a very

00:00:22.119 --> 00:00:28.840
long time but that doesn't mean you can necessarily abandon the consumer either

00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:32.239
so while the vector hasn't been updated this drive's been on the market for

00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:37.360
quite a while there are a couple of new additions to the product line so number

00:00:33.879 --> 00:00:39.879
one is the vertex 450 right here so this

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:45.640
uses the same IND linkx Barefoot 3 controller as the vector but what it

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:47.719
adds is the latest 20 nanm n flash so

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:51.640
basically that gives you a cost savings now the problem right now is that with

00:00:49.879 --> 00:00:54.960
the Nan shortage that has been going on and I know most sort of general

00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:59.039
consumers don't concern themselves with these things but they're very very real

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:02.039
and very very true unfortunately the pricing you've seen on ctor over the

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:05.720
last little while and the pricing you're seeing on vertex 450 now in the middle

00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:09.680
of a shortage isn't that different but in the future that should be an

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:14.000
advantage for the vertex 450 compared to the vector now this one right here is

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.680
definitely not about cost savings this is the vector PCIe so if you're familiar

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:23.119
with ocz's Revo drive line of products from the past basically it's a PCI

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:27.680
Express device so it's a PCI e4x interface you've got two indel link

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:32.680
Barefoot three controllers each with a full SSD on them so this eliminates the

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:39.960
SATA 3 bottleneck allowing it to achieve up to 1 gab per second as well as

00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:42.079
140,000 iops per second which is much

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:46.000
more than you can possibly push over a single SATA 3 interface now we're going

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.880
to go around a corner which is going to be very hazardous for the entire team

00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:53.920
moving around here with all these like wires going on so all this stuff on the

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

00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:01.600
CES we were showing off a software solution that ocz was working on that

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:06.439
would allow their SSD products to accelerate databases and accelerate

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:11.760
specific workloads in a very um in a very impactful way this guy right here

00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:18.000
is pretty much where that product is headed so it's a hardware device this is

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:19.959
the ZD XL SQL accelerator and if you

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.120
don't know what it does then you just have to read the title it implements

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:28.080
some of the software development that they've done and adds it to what is a

00:02:25.640 --> 00:02:32.319
dedicated device that is designed just for this so pretty much I'm not an

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:36.080
expert when it comes to SQL databases so the camera's looking at it right now

00:02:34.040 --> 00:02:40.239
read that if none of it means anything to you then you're probably not the

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:44.200
Target customer but if you do understand all of that then it should be pretty

00:02:41.959 --> 00:02:47.200
darn impressive don't miss any of our computex 2013 coverage don't forget

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.680
we're powered here at the show by Western Digital Corsair Vengeance gaming

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:55.599
peripherals and nc.com and as always don't forget to subscribe to Linus

00:02:53.519 --> 00:02:59.879
techtips not quite sure what happened there but here we are in the ocz booth

00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:03.720
where uh we are actually going to be showing off a couple of new products so

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:08.319
the fatality series of power supplies has been around for a pretty long time

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:12.000
at this point but now we have the new fatality Series so they're

00:03:10.920 --> 00:03:17.280
launching a couple of different capacities the 750 watt as well as their

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.440
550 watt these are both fully modular power supplies so if you come around the

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

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:28.879
cables attached to them unfortunately unlike the fatality 1000 watt we don't

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.400
get the individually sleeved cables that made that particular PSU very very

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:37.519
impressive but what we do get is an updated feature set so they're 80 plus

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:41.920
bronze certified as well as having full support for Intel's Haswell fourth

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:45.480
generation core series processor what that basically means is even at

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:51.560
extremely low loads they're able to provide stable enough power that the

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

00:03:54.760 --> 00:04:00.799
idle power consumption they also come with 5-year warranties and now I think

00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:06.200
we're actually done with without sort of forgetting about anything no that's not

00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:06.200
new
