hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus dotnet and we're just finishing up another trip to the gtc 2015 show floor gtc is the GPU technology conference and it is hosted by nvidia so it's very heavily focused on GPUs and on graphics processing image processing and enterprise stuff as well but there's a consumer slant to it too PNY was present on the show floor PNY of course manufacturers nvidia equipped video cards and also makes SSDs so we took a quick look at the SSDs on the show floor just to sort of refresh everyone on where PNY is with its current lineup so the main one that's coming out shortly it's not presently available but will be soon is the CL for 111 which is the new client SSD and this is sort of similar in class and pricing structure to Samsung's 850 Pro that many of you are familiar with the 850 Pro and this new client SSD offer a little more than gaming grade SSDs and that would include things like enhance security and encryption and just generally better hardware for four different processing tasks PNY is SSDs come in a few forms so looking at the client SSD strictly it ships in 240 or 480 gigabyte capacities using the SF 2281 controller which is a tried-and-true sandforce control it's a bit dated now it's actually several years old because 3rd gen has still not officially launched and then the 960 gigabyte model uses the silicon motion controller the sm 2246 and that's a pretty well-liked controller performs well and has sort of started to gain some market share as sandforce has continued to age the silicon motion controller has almost two times faster random read iops for the client SSD by PNY it's at 71,000 versus 40,000 using the now Seagate branded sandforce controller but the San for Swan does over perform a bit with write IOPS at eighty-five thousand verses 75,000 with silicon motion the other SSD that's been around for a bit is the cs2 111 gaming SSD and this is sort of in the same line as the accelerate drives that have been around for a while the gaming drive they showed has a tiger painted on it's pretty cool looking definitely targeted at the gaming audience and this is why something like the client drive comes into play because the more professional audience wants something that's a bit more discreet and performs to a different spec the gaming drive does use the silicon motion controller the same one that the 960 gigabyte version of the client drive has and it's shipping at 240 480 and 960 gigabyte models so you can find more information on this in the link in the description below for the article aside from this PNY have their quadro cards on display of Korra SPECT more for professional applications media production and hardcore rendering and processing so not super relevant to our channel but always cool technology to look into because it eventually works its way down into the consumer market so that is PNY is booth at the gtc show floor check the link in the description below for more information from gtc we covered the launch of the GTX Titan ex and I will see you all next time you
