So today we'll be unboxing the OCZ
0:04
ATV. And yes, I said OCZ. I said it
0:07
because it sounds better that way no matter what I do. If I say OCZ, then
0:11
someone complains. If I say OCZ, then someone else complains. So I prefer OCZ.
0:16
So there. This is their ATV ruggedized,
0:20
shockresistant, and waterproof USB 2.0
0:24
flash drive. It's a 16 gig drive. It is
0:27
available in a variety of capacities though. And we're going to go ahead and
0:31
open it up mostly for giggles because I'm pretty sure everyone has seen a
0:37
flash drive at some point in their life. I still remember my first flash drive.
0:41
It was actually 8 megs. And back then
0:45
that was like a big deal because I could actually like I could put photos on it
0:50
and transport those to to my classes or like like I could put larger documents
0:55
than just like word documents, you know? I could put like a PowerPoint on it and
1:01
bring it to school. That was like it was like high tech at the time, too. Like I
1:05
actually had a friend bring it back for me from uh from Beijing because you
1:10
couldn't even buy them here. And uh it was some weird brand. It was like uh it
1:16
was like some kind of weird like bluey green color and it was like a cheap
1:19
plastic. It broke shortly, but uh anyway, that's neither here nor there.
1:22
The ATV is not a weird bluey green. It looks pretty cool and ruggedized. It's
1:28
rubber and it kind of bounces as you can see. So the likelihood of it actually
1:32
breaking is fairly slim. And then uh
1:35
check this out. I mean, how high class is that? Now
1:40
you won't lose your cap. You just plug it in and you put the cap on there. You
1:44
pull the cap off there. You put it on there. Look at that. It's like a fake It's like a fake USB port and it's also
1:49
made of rubber with a little OCZ logo on it. So yeah, they call that out as a
1:53
unique chained cap holder. So that is uh
1:56
highly innovative. Thank you for checking out
2:00
my video on the ATV. Please note there is an indicator LED here which will tell
2:05
you when it is uh being written to or
2:08
not written to. So, if you have a Mac and you want to, you know, drag it to
2:12
the trash can and then wait forever because that's how Macs work. You can
2:16
see when the light turns off and you don't have to uh pull it out and have
2:20
your Mac complain at you. Don't forget to subscribe.
