Would you buy this SSD?

bill its coverage of copy text 2019 is brought to you by fantex coolermaster gigabyte enter max team group NZXT and Corsair to learn more about our sponsors click on the links below geforce alright i actually came up to this booth thinking that they would just show me memory and more memory but they actually have quite a bit here more than just memory buffer which is what they're really known for but i'm gonna start off small and then we'll work our way up to the the bigger things for starters we have this little USB drive that does not look like a USB drive at all at first it's actually a multi-tool it's kind of handy it goes all the way up to 128 gigs USB 3.1 gen2 been cool to get some Gen 2 speech in there but that's alright we have a magnifying glass here as well as a ruler that extends all the way out for a full length or a longer ruler there's also a way that you can draw like perfect circles with it because there's little little tiny holes in this portion so if you want to get the perfect circle on so it's kind of like I don't know I probably bring this with me to like a math class or something there's a lot of applications here but I think this one's actually a little bit cooler cuz it's actually got a razor opener or I should say a box opener this little part comes off and says we can do a straight straight blade opening boxes that comes in very handy on a regular basis for me anyway a bottle opener that also comes in handy on for a killer basis for me there's a built-in magnet so you know if you need to pick up three paper clips for a photo shoot it's a perfect perfect for that and also a little ruler a little bit smaller than the last one but it's kind of nice it also goes connects to your keychain just fine this one also goes up to 128 gigs and it's also USB 3.1 gen2 on moving on here we have the PD 1000 that goes all the way from 240 gigs to just just under a terabyte they're getting speeds up to 950 megabits per second or megabytes per second now these are ip66 rated so it's going to be shockproof waterproof and dustproof within those specifications they've got a nice little demonstration here that if you hit it straight on with Thor's hammer it will survive also if it happens to be in a sand pit of bones the sand will not corrode and corrupt the innards of your precious drive and data kind of a fun demo here I'm gonna oh no who stole our Drive no I don't wanna freak them out let's leave it out and a nice little water water demo here I kind of want one of these setups at home just because they'll be relaxing and offer good good data throughput next we're looking at the t4s kardia I don't know if that's how you pronounce it kardea I don't know liquid I'm about to PCIe SSD yes they liquid-cooled m2 SSDs okay this is this already has the the end on to drive built-in unfortunately it's PCIe gen3 so it's not going to be he won't be able to take full advantage of pca Gen 4 and X 5 70 but we're gonna circle back to that later what is cool about these drives those that you're still getting very nice nvme performance and a water-cooled experience there's actually the drives on the very bottom and then above that is a thermal pad and I just above that is a layer of aluminum for thermal conductivity and then you've got finally your water block on top of that with a just a little bit of water water there now the team proof prep has told me that they'd actually done some testing here and found that with liquid involved with liquid added to the m dot 2 drives we're seeing a reduction of up to 10 degrees Celsius under load which is pretty cool I love to test that myself also over time this will eventually evaporate the liquid in here will will start to disappear and your thermals will just go back down to a regular regular end up to thermal pad / heatsink drive but that's okay you can actually refill it they thought of that very clearly there's actually a fill port right here I believe you push this inward and then remove the cap here you can actually drain and refill this entire water block which is a pretty handy and yes these colors are the actual coolant themselves not not not paint or a different part of the heatsink it's actually the color of the fluid so I'm curious to see how they're actually going to sell these and you can buy them based on you know color or or it has to be sold separately or whatever but but be sure to look out for these the kardia liquid and the two PCIe SSD next we have the T force delta max r gb SSD this is a say the rev 3 6 Giga per second drive goes all the way from 250 to 2 terabyte and with this just look at this this is this is insane this is the largest amount of illumination that I've ever seen on an SSD like by a landslide I think it looks gorgeous the LEDs are fairly bright but not too bright and I'm wondering just I'm very curious to see if this is going to affect performance at all as LEDs have been shown to get extra hot on SSDs and potentially destroyed them so hopefully that's not an issue I really hope they did some testing on that beforehand but if all is good on that front these are looking to be some of the most flashy SSDs on the market apart from you say the data and in power you do have a single cable here that's either 5 volts or 12 volts so if you've got 5 volt you can obviously adjust the colors to your heart's content if you decide to go the 12 volt option then you're pretty much just stuck with a default rainbow RGB which is usually good enough for most people this is the T force extreme addressable RGB ddr4 memory these memory kits are very reflective so I guess if you want to bounce some lighting off in your system or you just kind of like that very shiny aesthetic these are the sticks for you potentially now this is of course with them powered off this is restful RGB a lot of high end kits have non addressable RGB it's just a plain old simple RGB can do quite as much doesn't look as nice and these kits go all the way up to 48 hundred megahertz which is fast it's very fast continuing with our RGB theme here we have the world's first 5 volt and 12 volt RGB controller from T force or from Team Group this is the T Force Captain RGB control box and they're actually supporting up to five Bible connections and one 12-volt connection so regardless of the type of RGB devices you're trying to connect this is kind of one box that does it all kind of has a nice COO cool really that's a button RGB button that can do different lighting modes look at that they've got two SSDs currently connected and an RGB fan very very nice shiny now we do have PCIe exam 4 nvme SSDs right here these are the z4 40s and I'm sure about the blue PCBs I hope they decide to go with the black black variant at some point but these are going to deliver significantly more performance potentially than PCIe gen3 this is gonna be great for X 570 boards on the upcoming AMD platform we also have the T force Vulcan SSDs these go all the way up to 2 terabytes and this is just sort of like a no-frills Drive I think they really looked a lot classier than a lot of the aggressive RGB designs out there so if you just want something with a little bit more sleek sexy vibe this is this could be a good drive for your next ability there's also some external accessories here for your ps4 they have this slim RGB Drive let's say the RGB or TT 4 spark RGB ufd this is actually pretty cool it's it's so slim that you can fit it inside of a ps4 whereas most traditional USB sticks cannot and it's it's RGB because why would you want RGB on your USB stick however it's a bit more functional than that it'll actually start changing color if the the drive is actually in use letting you know don't don't pull it out additionally it'll start flashing blue if it's I believe over 80% capacity full which is actually very handy and then that color will change as you scale up to higher amounts of capacity fullness words words are not coming out right now so eventually will start flashing red for example once you hit you know 90 95 percent full of course that's only gonna be flashing when you're actually doing data transfer it's not going to be doing that constantly if if your drives just sitting there idling that would be that would be a little bit a little bit annoying so they actually thought that through this goes up to 128 gigabytes and it is supporting USB 3.1 gen2 have the t4s treasurer external RGB SSD yes because we need RGB on everything and this is also USB 3.1 gen2 on has a very nice RGB strip on the sides there and the button that you see just to the right of the actual connector is to change modes you can do up to five different color modes has a very nice sleek sort of brushed aluminum exterior and you can see it's Type C as well finally we have the t force excalibur RGB ddr4 kits these are actually nothing new however they have just revamped them slightly by giving them a nice mirrored aesthetic so if you again if you're into that reflective design and want some things bouncing off of your components then there you go there's also a bonus feature that if you get really bored you can just play this little maze that's printed right onto the heat spreader no that's that's not a real feature online and really quick guys before I head out feel free to check out team groups giveaway that they have going on right now the link is in the description below grand prizes include a team force per day a liquid and two PCIe SSD 250 gig model this is one of the ones that we just checked out they're also giving away a team force t1 ddr4 2666 16 gigabyte kit and finally a t4 vulcan z ddr4 2666 16 gigabyte kit as well go ahead check it out guys thanks
