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

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

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

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:22.320
state drive. They have 64meg cache. They come in 30, 60, and 120 gig capacities.

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:28.240
But the key difference for this one is that the Vertex Turbo features the

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:32.320
Indelinks controller, the Indareoot controller. It's the same one, but

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.480
unlike every other Indelinkx drive on the market, it is slightly overclocked.

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:42.000
So that means that the Indelinkx controller in the Vertex Turbo can

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:44.079
actually process data just a little bit

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.239
faster than in the Vert.Ex, the Agility, and every other Index drive on the

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:51.680
market. So, let's without further ado, get this baby opened up and have a look.

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

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:01.039
here. read up to 240 megabytes per second and write up to 145 megabytes per

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.799
second with sustained rights of 100 megabytes per second. These are not the

00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.840
important specs. The important specs come down to the random reads and

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.840
writes, which the Vertex already does quite well. So, the Vertex Turbo just

00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:15.280
adds a little bit of icing on that cake. Okay, you've got an installation guide,

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:18.960
warranty info, preparation before use, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

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

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:31.920
almost exactly like a Vertex drive except that Oh, man. If I can get this

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:35.759
open. Yeah, there we go. Ah, except that

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.159
it has yellow on the sticker. Just like

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

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:46.640
Sa 2 solid solid state drive sticker on the top on the Oh, yeah. Mounting. So,

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

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:55.600
adapter or you can use like basically any other SSD adapter. It's perfectly

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:58.479
compatible with most notebooks out there. So, you've got both of the

00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:02.000
mounting options on there. Here's another some kind of warranty

00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:06.799
information thing. On the back of the drive, you will find your SATA power and

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.399
SATA data interfaces. These jumper pins are only for flashing the firmware, so

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:15.200
only use them if you're instructed to by OCZ or their website. Thank you for

00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:19.120
checking out my unboxing of the OCZ Vert.Ex X series Turbo Drive. Oh, by the

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

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:26.920
actually mentioned that. So, there are also 120s and 30s.
