Linus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by ncx.com, your source
for great technology, selection, and service along with Corsair memory and
Western Digital. Hey guys, welcome to the Kingston Rapid Fire Technology
Showcase. Not a real thing, but what I'm calling this. What we're going to see
first is 384 GB of DDR4 RAM working in a
server. Pretty awesome. They didn't let me take the top off completely, but from
markings that we could find, it is six channel RAM, which is an insane amount.
When you look in here, it's basically just RAM, which is awesome. It's going
to be nice that it's also running at 1.4 volts, 1.2 volts, my bad, because any
amount of power savings in a server configuration where you're in an
environment where you're probably in a server room with a ton of these things
is actually going to save a company a very large amount of money because when
you're when you're multiplying how much power you're saving, it becomes a really
big deal. Next up, we have something just as or more beastly. This is 24 400
GB Kingston E100 server grade SSDs in one system running all at the same time
on three RAID 10s running through LSI controllers and then they have 50 VMs
running in the background. You would think maybe that they could have more
VMs and they could but no because GPU
power it has nothing to do with limiting the speed of the SSDs and we can
actually see here on the right side that there's quite a bit of performance left
uh in headroom for the SSDs but not necessarily for something else. And last
but not least, we have the SSD showcase. So, first off, they're showing a client
SSD, which is powered by an SF3700 LSI
Avago controller, which is pretty interesting. But what's more interesting
is their PCI Express 4X card, the Predator, which is also running the same
controller. That controller is has a potential of,800 megabytes per second of
potential throughput. That's pretty interesting. Down the line, we have a 1
TB SSD prototype, which is going to be more consumer and valueoriented.
Saying one tabby SSD prototype and consumer and value oriented is a little
weird, but it's running a Faison controller and I'm pretty excited for that one as well. All right, guys. One
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
here live at D2LS4 and this is pretty awesome and extremely distracting. The
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
to watch afterwards. If you are watching this video, it's not going to be live
streamed anymore. Look online. There might be an archive somewhere. I'm not actually 100% confirmed about that, but
yeah, Kingston is a huge sponsor of esports. So, if you are a big fan of
esports and you're looking for some stuff that Kingston makes, maybe buy
some Kingston stuff. Thanks for watching our Kingston content. If you want to see
