00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.200
about 10 months ago ish we made this video called the solid state drive

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.440
versus hard drive torture test you guys seemed to like it but also voiced that

00:00:09.440 --> 00:00:15.120
there were some too many variables with the old drive having all that junk on it

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

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:26.930
subscribed to Linus tech tips for more videos in the future where we address

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:30.050
your concerns almost a year later

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:41.120
Intel's new 750 series ssds utilize the NVMe standard providing speeds never

00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:44.800
seen before on consumer storage drives click now to learn

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:49.120
more just like last time we'll be comparing the performance differences of

00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:53.039
hard drives and solitate drives as you might have expected but unlike last time

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:58.239
we'll be using a fresh os on these drives this time around we yet again

00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:04.000
will have the older model one terabyte hard drive and a nice new fresh SSD but

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

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.320
more well-rounded look at this picture in the test we will be doing clean

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.320
installs on the drives instead of using the dirty install we had on the hard

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

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:24.159
like doing real world testing i just thought that this time around we would

00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:28.960
use give all the drives a new clean slate a new beginning and a fair chance

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:33.520
to fight for their category this isn't a proper sanitized scientific approach to

00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:36.880
benchmarking these drives and we still suggest that if you're looking for those

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:41.119
types of results you should check out sites like storage review but while i

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:45.520
have removed the variability of junk sitting on the drive to make the results

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:49.280
more consistent i still think this is a great real world representation of

00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.439
performance because we still get to see the difference between fresh drives and

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.880
older drives who've held together through rigorous use the first drive

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:02.240
we'll be looking at is the western digital one terabyte drive which is an

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

00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:10.640
home servers and i honestly beat the crap out of it it was never really

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:15.440
properly cooled and was rarely screwed in properly but it's still alive so it's

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:19.680
got that going for it next up we have the shiny new six terabyte seagate

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

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.920
used slightly by lioness before this test but not much though either way it's

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

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:38.640
for modern hard drives then we get to the SSD starting with my aging samsung

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:40.400
830 series SSD it has uh

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:45.519
seen a lot i use this drive for benchmarking for a long time and i like

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:50.000
to keep those drives clean so naturally it's seen more operating installs than

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

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.400
terabyte SSD this drive normally needs no introduction but it has a huge

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.519
capacity for an SSD of one terabyte like i already mentioned and it's pretty damn

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:06.959
fast so i don't mind having it as a representation of really fast new SATA

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

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:16.400
installed Windows 8.1 as our benchmarking operating system onto the

00:03:13.760 --> 00:03:21.440
850 pro and after fully updating it and installing all the necessary drivers for

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:23.200
our x99 platform system i installed open

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:27.360
office because we will be messing around with openoffice just like we did in the

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:31.519
last video in an attempt to show a real world representation of performance

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:35.519
after all that was done i just mirrored that drive onto my other three test

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:39.280
drives first up was restarting and loading up openoffice this is similar to

00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.959
the test we did last time where we restarted and loaded up firefox to the

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.400
home page but should take the drives a little bit longer this time as

00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:50.400
openoffice is definitely a heavier program this test should be fairly

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:54.159
reasonable representation of how long it would take your computer to be usable

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:58.159
when performing a restart next up was timing how long it takes to uninstall

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:02.799
openoffice then after openoffice was uninstalled timing how long it takes to

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:06.560
calculate the size of the c drive both of these tests were an attempt to

00:04:04.239 --> 00:04:10.560
represent how long a fairly standard task would take on each of these drives

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:14.720
in conclusion not that surprising although it is

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:19.440
impressive how much faster the 850 pro is compared to the 830. of course this

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:24.080
doesn't mean hard drives are useless mind you you may have noticed that our

00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:27.919
hard drive is six freaking terabytes and they come even larger than that if you

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

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:35.360
to recover data from if you have some sort of disaster because of just how

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:39.759
they fundamentally work but then as you saw the ssds are

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:43.280
insanely fast compared to hard drives even the 830 the older one if you want

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

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:52.080
this the test you were looking for when you commented on the last video i know

00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:56.479
i'll probably have to redo this at some point to some degree with NVMe drives

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

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
