00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.879
Thank you to the HyperX YouTube channel, youtube.com/krstonhyperx for sending us

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:10.400
here this year. Also, thank you to linda.com and Phantom Glass. We're here

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:16.000
at OCZ to check out their replacement for their Vector 150, the new not yet

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:20.400
released yet Vector 180, probably named because they're pulling a 180 from the

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:24.480
Vector that they were previously on. I'm sorry. Moving on to the drive itself.

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:30.960
And away from terrible puns, there's three different configurations. 240 GB,

00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:33.200
480 GB, and 960 GB. All of these drives

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:39.120
have a maximum bandwidth of 550 megabytes per second, and a maximum IOPS

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:41.840
on the two larger ones of 100K and 95K

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:47.760
on the smaller one. Sustained IOPS are 20,000 for the smallest and the biggest

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:50.559
one, and 23,000 for the 480 gig. They're

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

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:59.120
heck does a Shield Plus warranty mean? Well, if anything goes wrong with the

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:02.800
drive, they have told me that you can send a message to their RMA team and

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

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

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:13.520
through if you had to ship them your drive and then wait for them to verify

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

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

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:24.479
pretty intense warranty and probably comes from confidence due to their

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

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:33.280
their overall failure rates and RMA returns are much lower than they used to

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.119
be. Something that's plugged OCZ for a while now. This kit also comes with a

00:01:35.119 --> 00:01:40.799
drive adapter so that you can clone over and cloning software to go through that

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:45.040
cloning process. While the overall aesthetic design isn't super new, I do

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

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:53.680
HyperX for sending us here this year. Check out the YouTube channel,

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:56.640
youtube.com/krston HyperX for a ton of cool gaming videos and I think we even

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,

00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.920
store.fanlass.com to pick up some of the best damn screen protectors out there.

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

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.680
can use that offer code to learn things like programming or editing in Premiere

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:18.400
or even some business practices. Pretty much whatever the heck you want. Be sure

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

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.360
they've been acquired by Toshiba and there's been some some time for the

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.840
growing pains to wean out, are you interested in them again? Is is this

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

00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:38.959
and stay subscribed to Line Effectives to see all the rest of our PAX East 2015

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:38.959
