Linus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by ncx.com, your source
0:05
for great technology, selection, and service along with Corsair memory and
0:09
Western Digital. Hey guys, welcome to the Kingston Rapid Fire Technology
0:12
Showcase. Not a real thing, but what I'm calling this. What we're going to see
0:16
first is 384 GB of DDR4 RAM working in a
0:20
server. Pretty awesome. They didn't let me take the top off completely, but from
0:23
markings that we could find, it is six channel RAM, which is an insane amount.
0:27
When you look in here, it's basically just RAM, which is awesome. It's going
0:30
to be nice that it's also running at 1.4 volts, 1.2 volts, my bad, because any
0:36
amount of power savings in a server configuration where you're in an
0:40
environment where you're probably in a server room with a ton of these things
0:43
is actually going to save a company a very large amount of money because when
0:47
you're when you're multiplying how much power you're saving, it becomes a really
0:50
big deal. Next up, we have something just as or more beastly. This is 24 400
0:55
GB Kingston E100 server grade SSDs in one system running all at the same time
1:00
on three RAID 10s running through LSI controllers and then they have 50 VMs
1:04
running in the background. You would think maybe that they could have more
1:08
VMs and they could but no because GPU
1:12
power it has nothing to do with limiting the speed of the SSDs and we can
1:16
actually see here on the right side that there's quite a bit of performance left
1:20
uh in headroom for the SSDs but not necessarily for something else. And last
1:23
but not least, we have the SSD showcase. So, first off, they're showing a client
1:27
SSD, which is powered by an SF3700 LSI
1:30
Avago controller, which is pretty interesting. But what's more interesting
1:34
is their PCI Express 4X card, the Predator, which is also running the same
1:38
controller. That controller is has a potential of,800 megabytes per second of
1:42
potential throughput. That's pretty interesting. Down the line, we have a 1
1:46
TB SSD prototype, which is going to be more consumer and valueoriented.
1:51
Saying one tabby SSD prototype and consumer and value oriented is a little
1:55
weird, but it's running a Faison controller and I'm pretty excited for that one as well. All right, guys. One
1:59
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
2:03
here live at D2LS4 and this is pretty awesome and extremely distracting. The
2:07
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
2:12
to watch afterwards. If you are watching this video, it's not going to be live
2:15
streamed anymore. Look online. There might be an archive somewhere. I'm not actually 100% confirmed about that, but
2:20
yeah, Kingston is a huge sponsor of esports. So, if you are a big fan of
2:23
esports and you're looking for some stuff that Kingston makes, maybe buy
2:26
some Kingston stuff. Thanks for watching our Kingston content. If you want to see
