00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,200
about 10 months ago ish we made this video called the solid state drive

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,440
versus hard drive torture test you guys seemed to like it but also voiced that

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,120
there were some too many variables with the old drive having all that junk on it

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:20,560
yeah we copied it to new drive but whatever today we're here to address those concerns also don't forget to stay

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:26,930
subscribed to Linus tech tips for more videos in the future where we address

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:30,050
your concerns almost a year later

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:41,120
Intel's new 750 series ssds utilize the NVMe standard providing speeds never

8
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:44,800
seen before on consumer storage drives click now to learn

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:49,120
more just like last time we'll be comparing the performance differences of

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:53,039
hard drives and solitate drives as you might have expected but unlike last time

11
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:58,239
we'll be using a fresh os on these drives this time around we yet again

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:04,000
will have the older model one terabyte hard drive and a nice new fresh SSD but

13
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:08,479
we also have added the older model SSD and a newer model hard drive to get a

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,320
more well-rounded look at this picture in the test we will be doing clean

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:16,320
installs on the drives instead of using the dirty install we had on the hard

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,159
drive from last time this isn't to say that we've changed our mind we still

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,159
like doing real world testing i just thought that this time around we would

18
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:28,960
use give all the drives a new clean slate a new beginning and a fair chance

19
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,520
to fight for their category this isn't a proper sanitized scientific approach to

20
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:36,880
benchmarking these drives and we still suggest that if you're looking for those

21
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,119
types of results you should check out sites like storage review but while i

22
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:45,520
have removed the variability of junk sitting on the drive to make the results

23
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:49,280
more consistent i still think this is a great real world representation of

24
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,439
performance because we still get to see the difference between fresh drives and

25
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,880
older drives who've held together through rigorous use the first drive

26
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:02,240
we'll be looking at is the western digital one terabyte drive which is an

27
00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:06,079
old dog for this race i used this drive for years in more than a few different

28
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:10,640
home servers and i honestly beat the crap out of it it was never really

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:15,440
properly cooled and was rarely screwed in properly but it's still alive so it's

30
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,680
got that going for it next up we have the shiny new six terabyte seagate

31
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:25,040
enterprise drive it's fresh out of the box and has either not been used or been

32
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,920
used slightly by lioness before this test but not much though either way it's

33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,800
still super fresh and should be performing to the best of its abilities to give a solid performance benchmark

34
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:38,640
for modern hard drives then we get to the SSD starting with my aging samsung

35
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,400
830 series SSD it has uh

36
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,519
seen a lot i use this drive for benchmarking for a long time and i like

37
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:50,000
to keep those drives clean so naturally it's seen more operating installs than

38
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,560
any drive i've ever owned and last but not least is the badass 850 pro one

39
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:58,400
terabyte SSD this drive normally needs no introduction but it has a huge

40
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,519
capacity for an SSD of one terabyte like i already mentioned and it's pretty damn

41
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,959
fast so i don't mind having it as a representation of really fast new SATA

42
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:12,000
ssds now that isn't to say that it's as fast as the NVMe drives but either way i

43
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,400
installed Windows 8.1 as our benchmarking operating system onto the

44
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:21,440
850 pro and after fully updating it and installing all the necessary drivers for

45
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:23,200
our x99 platform system i installed open

46
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,360
office because we will be messing around with openoffice just like we did in the

47
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,519
last video in an attempt to show a real world representation of performance

48
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,519
after all that was done i just mirrored that drive onto my other three test

49
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:39,280
drives first up was restarting and loading up openoffice this is similar to

50
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,959
the test we did last time where we restarted and loaded up firefox to the

51
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,400
home page but should take the drives a little bit longer this time as

52
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,400
openoffice is definitely a heavier program this test should be fairly

53
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:54,159
reasonable representation of how long it would take your computer to be usable

54
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:58,159
when performing a restart next up was timing how long it takes to uninstall

55
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,799
openoffice then after openoffice was uninstalled timing how long it takes to

56
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,560
calculate the size of the c drive both of these tests were an attempt to

57
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:10,560
represent how long a fairly standard task would take on each of these drives

58
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,720
in conclusion not that surprising although it is

59
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:19,440
impressive how much faster the 850 pro is compared to the 830. of course this

60
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:24,080
doesn't mean hard drives are useless mind you you may have noticed that our

61
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:27,919
hard drive is six freaking terabytes and they come even larger than that if you

62
00:04:25,919 --> 00:04:31,360
happen to need it that's not all either hard drives do tend to be a lot easier

63
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,360
to recover data from if you have some sort of disaster because of just how

64
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:39,759
they fundamentally work but then as you saw the ssds are

65
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:43,280
insanely fast compared to hard drives even the 830 the older one if you want

66
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,560
to learn more about the differences check out Linus's fastest possible episode on it here all right guys was

67
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,080
this the test you were looking for when you commented on the last video i know

68
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:56,479
i'll probably have to redo this at some point to some degree with NVMe drives

69
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,479
but i think that's going to kind of be down the line once they mature a little

70
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,919
bit and once we have more of them to try out anyways let me know again comments
