1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,440
So, I think at this point I've unboxed almost every SSD from OCZ, but the one

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:12,559
that I haven't looked at is the Vert.Ex series Turbo Drive. So, these are almost

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:16,720
the same as the regular Vert.Ex drives. That means they're a 2 and 1/2 in solid

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:22,320
state drive. They have 64meg cache. They come in 30, 60, and 120 gig capacities.

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:28,240
But the key difference for this one is that the Vertex Turbo features the

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:32,320
Indelinks controller, the Indareoot controller. It's the same one, but

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,480
unlike every other Indelinkx drive on the market, it is slightly overclocked.

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:42,000
So that means that the Indelinkx controller in the Vertex Turbo can

9
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:44,079
actually process data just a little bit

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,239
faster than in the Vert.Ex, the Agility, and every other Index drive on the

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,680
market. So, let's without further ado, get this baby opened up and have a look.

12
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,280
Oh, you know what? Here, here, hold on. Sorry, camera. Here, come have a look here. So, we've got the basic specs

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,039
here. read up to 240 megabytes per second and write up to 145 megabytes per

14
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,799
second with sustained rights of 100 megabytes per second. These are not the

15
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:07,840
important specs. The important specs come down to the random reads and

16
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:11,840
writes, which the Vertex already does quite well. So, the Vertex Turbo just

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:15,280
adds a little bit of icing on that cake. Okay, you've got an installation guide,

18
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,960
warranty info, preparation before use, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:25,119
Okay, thank you. And then we get to the Vert.Ex Turbo Drive itself. So, it looks

20
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:31,920
almost exactly like a Vertex drive except that Oh, man. If I can get this

21
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:35,759
open. Yeah, there we go. Ah, except that

22
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,159
it has yellow on the sticker. Just like

23
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,320
that. Okay. So, it's a matte black top and you've got your Vertex series Turbo

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:46,640
Sa 2 solid solid state drive sticker on the top on the Oh, yeah. Mounting. So,

25
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,799
it uses the normal 2 and 1/2 in mounting holes. So, you can use the OCZ SSD

26
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:55,600
adapter or you can use like basically any other SSD adapter. It's perfectly

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,479
compatible with most notebooks out there. So, you've got both of the

28
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:02,000
mounting options on there. Here's another some kind of warranty

29
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:06,799
information thing. On the back of the drive, you will find your SATA power and

30
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:10,399
SATA data interfaces. These jumper pins are only for flashing the firmware, so

31
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:15,200
only use them if you're instructed to by OCZ or their website. Thank you for

32
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:19,120
checking out my unboxing of the OCZ Vert.Ex X series Turbo Drive. Oh, by the

33
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,959
way, uh, don't turn it off yet. This is a 60 gig. Um, I don't think I ever

34
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,920
actually mentioned that. So, there are also 120s and 30s.
