00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,879
Thank you to the HyperX YouTube channel, youtube.com/krstonhyperx for sending us

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,400
here this year. Also, thank you to linda.com and Phantom Glass. We're here

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:16,000
at OCZ to check out their replacement for their Vector 150, the new not yet

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:20,400
released yet Vector 180, probably named because they're pulling a 180 from the

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:24,480
Vector that they were previously on. I'm sorry. Moving on to the drive itself.

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:30,960
And away from terrible puns, there's three different configurations. 240 GB,

7
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:33,200
480 GB, and 960 GB. All of these drives

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:39,120
have a maximum bandwidth of 550 megabytes per second, and a maximum IOPS

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,840
on the two larger ones of 100K and 95K

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:47,760
on the smaller one. Sustained IOPS are 20,000 for the smallest and the biggest

11
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:50,559
one, and 23,000 for the 480 gig. They're

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,879
rated for 50 GB a day of usage and have a 5year Shield Plus warranty. What the

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:59,120
heck does a Shield Plus warranty mean? Well, if anything goes wrong with the

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:02,800
drive, they have told me that you can send a message to their RMA team and

15
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:06,640
they will ship you out a new drive right away with a shipping label for your old

16
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:10,159
drive. So, there isn't nearly the amount of wait time that you would have to go

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,520
through if you had to ship them your drive and then wait for them to verify

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,280
that it's broken and then they can ship you a new one. No, they just send you a

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,960
new one right away and just hopefully you send your old one back in. That's a

20
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,479
pretty intense warranty and probably comes from confidence due to their

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,960
acquisition from Toshiba. I've been talking to the guys here for a little while. They've been telling me that

22
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:33,280
their overall failure rates and RMA returns are much lower than they used to

23
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,119
be. Something that's plugged OCZ for a while now. This kit also comes with a

24
00:01:35,119 --> 00:01:40,799
drive adapter so that you can clone over and cloning software to go through that

25
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:45,040
cloning process. While the overall aesthetic design isn't super new, I do

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,920
really appreciate the jet black background and think that it's a pretty good looking drive overall. Thank you to

27
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,680
HyperX for sending us here this year. Check out the YouTube channel,

28
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:56,640

29
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:02,880
have some stuff on there as well. Be sure to subscribe. They'd appreciate it a lot. Also, thank you to Phantomglass,

30
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:07,920
store.fanlass.com to pick up some of the best damn screen protectors out there.

31
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,520
Also, linda.com. on linda.com/packs will get you a really cool offer code and you

32
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,680
can use that offer code to learn things like programming or editing in Premiere

33
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,400
or even some business practices. Pretty much whatever the heck you want. Be sure

34
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,599
to check them out as well. All right, guys. Thanks for watching. If you were sketched out about OCZ before, now that

35
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,360
they've been acquired by Toshiba and there's been some some time for the

36
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,840
growing pains to wean out, are you interested in them again? Is is this

37
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:34,319
something that you're interested in? Let me know in the comments down below or over on the forum. Thanks for watching

38
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:38,959
and stay subscribed to Line Effectives to see all the rest of our PAX East 2015
