Hey guys, welcome to the Kingston booth. I love checking out Kingston at these events because they always support
0:09
esports. Behind Brandon here, we've got two rows of computers of people gaming
0:13
away on everything from Starcraft to Hearthstone to I believe earlier they're
0:16
playing Street Fighter actually right there. I see people playing Street Fighter right now. So that's fantastic.
0:20
I love it when these companies actually support esports. Other than that though,
0:24
they have new releases in both RAM and SSD. They're calling this the Fury line.
0:28
It is report it is replacing not reporting their old blue line of memory
0:32
uh which was their entrance level before. This RAM looks really good. It
0:36
has a new ID on the cooler with some speed holes and some other stuff on it.
0:39
Speed holes aren't actually a thing, don't worry about it. Uh but yeah, they look really sharp. It comes in black,
0:43
white, blue, and red. And you can get it in eight or 16 GB configurations. Also,
0:49
one thing before I move on, it has black PCBs. A lot of you guys have been asking
0:52
for this for a long time in RAM and a few different companies have done it, but it is nice to see even more adoption
0:57
for the black PCBs because it just looks a lot better than those old green or
1:01
blue PCBs that we've seen in the past. On the SSD side, you're looking at an
1:04
SSD in the 128 or 256 GB editions
1:08
running a Sanforest 2281 controller. And
1:11
this thing is running at 500 500 for sequential read and writes. So, it's not
1:16
necessarily the fastest thing you've seen before, but again, the Fury line is their entry level uh component. So, this
1:21
is actually a really strong SSD at that level. All right, guys. Thanks for watching our Kingston content. If you
