00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,120
Linus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by ncx.com, your source

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:11,280
for great technology, selection, and service along with Corsair memory and

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:14,799
Western Digital. Hey guys, welcome to the Kingston Rapid Fire Technology

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:20,160
Showcase. Not a real thing, but what I'm calling this. What we're going to see

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,920
first is 384 GB of DDR4 RAM working in a

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,439
server. Pretty awesome. They didn't let me take the top off completely, but from

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,880
markings that we could find, it is six channel RAM, which is an insane amount.

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:32,399
When you look in here, it's basically just RAM, which is awesome. It's going

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:39,360
to be nice that it's also running at 1.4 volts, 1.2 volts, my bad, because any

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,440
amount of power savings in a server configuration where you're in an

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:45,360
environment where you're probably in a server room with a ton of these things

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,200
is actually going to save a company a very large amount of money because when

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:52,480
you're when you're multiplying how much power you're saving, it becomes a really

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,480
big deal. Next up, we have something just as or more beastly. This is 24 400

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:02,879
GB Kingston E100 server grade SSDs in one system running all at the same time

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:07,040
on three RAID 10s running through LSI controllers and then they have 50 VMs

17
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:12,320
running in the background. You would think maybe that they could have more

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,400
VMs and they could but no because GPU

19
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,240
power it has nothing to do with limiting the speed of the SSDs and we can

20
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,240
actually see here on the right side that there's quite a bit of performance left

21
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,759
uh in headroom for the SSDs but not necessarily for something else. And last

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,560
but not least, we have the SSD showcase. So, first off, they're showing a client

23
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:32,720
SSD, which is powered by an SF3700 LSI

24
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,040
Avago controller, which is pretty interesting. But what's more interesting

25
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:40,560
is their PCI Express 4X card, the Predator, which is also running the same

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:44,640
controller. That controller is has a potential of,800 megabytes per second of

27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,040
potential throughput. That's pretty interesting. Down the line, we have a 1

28
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:53,680
TB SSD prototype, which is going to be more consumer and valueoriented.

29
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:56,799
Saying one tabby SSD prototype and consumer and value oriented is a little

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,640
weird, but it's running a Faison controller and I'm pretty excited for that one as well. All right, guys. One

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:06,399
last thing before we go. I want to give a shout out to Kingston because they do sponsor a ton of esports stuff. We are

32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,039
here live at D2LS4 and this is pretty awesome and extremely distracting. The

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:14,160
screen is right up there, so I'm going to try to not look at it too much while I'm running this video as I'll be able

34
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,440
to watch afterwards. If you are watching this video, it's not going to be live

35
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,920
streamed anymore. Look online. There might be an archive somewhere. I'm not actually 100% confirmed about that, but

36
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,800
yeah, Kingston is a huge sponsor of esports. So, if you are a big fan of

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,160
esports and you're looking for some stuff that Kingston makes, maybe buy

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,080
some Kingston stuff. Thanks for watching our Kingston content. If you want to see

39

40
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:38,319
you to our sponsors, NCX, WD, and Corsair.
