hey so I doing a personal build upgrade anytime soon okay alright but first a message from our sponsor the z9 neo-byzantine features on a budget with a large window side panel five included fans and the excellent interior layout with super simple cable management get it now link in the description below Wow so today marks the day when I completely move away from spinning hard disks inside my main workstation PC and replace all the drives with solid-state drives oh those early days when you're trying to edit something and the disk just keeps spinning and spinning and things just keep loading and so when I first built the sky lick editing PC I had this point in time imagined I was really looking forward to it with the V X 500 new drives from OCZ to Sheba they're really changing the game on what you would consider to be sort of these mainstream SSDs to be super compatible and actually quite preferred to be used inside a workstation PC and that's because of their crazy high end endurance so let's take the one terabyte variant of the V X 500 this Drive has an and endurance of 592 terabytes that means that you could be writing to this drive 10 terabytes per month for five years which is its warranty period and that places it way above many consumer drives which is why I'm placing this in this workstation status price-wise we're looking at $150 to $330 for the 512 and one terabyte respectively that's a pretty good deal for something that will last you for a very very very very very very very long time the new drives also look quite unique with this silver dotted texture on the surface squared edges very low profile can fit notebooks no problem with just a simple sticker blue sticker on the front and the specification one at the back the land is not 3d it's too DNA and it's 15 nanometers and the controller here we actually don't know much about the controller but it seems to prioritize a lot on the stability on the long term versus short term performance gains in synthetic benchmarks so let's populate these guys in and do some things all right so now that's done I've set my 1 terabyte SSD to be on primary video projects drive and since we've got a 16 terabytes enology nas I can offload all my archive to there and my dream machine is complete May we're over here now here's an interesting tidbit about my previous primary main workstation SSD this is where all the files are dumped - this is where all the basic work is happening and from there the footage and all the files are being moved into the archive so in 12 months that I've been using this non-stop it only has 2.7 terabytes of NAND write operations and that's pretty crazy you think it's quite low it's only 3% of its lifespan for NAND write operations from the vector 180 in the 12 months that's that's pretty good the VX 500 drives are actually quite fast they're a little bit slower than my vector 180s in write operations and synthetic benchmarks but maintain look at that consistent speed for copy operations which is very important I use this on a daily basis while copying from the disk to my Intel 750 perform exactly the same on both SSDs so the vector 180 was just as fast as the VX 500 so what I'm trying to get out of the VX 500 as my primary workstation video drive is consistency and that is exactly what we see and so my system right now has six drives in total one nvme and five SATA SSDs and because of this population I've discovered a bottleneck that's right who knew so two of the six SATA connections on this motherboard are limited by bandwidth so there is not enough PCIe lanes on the z170 chipset to support all SATA SSDs to be running and their full potential a little bit disappointing but quiet i opening or what could be done to mitigate this a bottleneck this is where an X 99 system would swoop in kick out that bottleneck out of the house but that made me realize there is a compromise I have tested the 6,800 K versus the 6700 K to realize the four core machine was faster in after-effects primarily due to higher clock frequency but still it's quite eye-opening to realize that there is almost this compromise on both sides but the beauty of PC hardware is of course migration of hardware and I'm happy that I've settled on a fully SS the only run workstation and that makes me wait for loading no more and that's a pretty good day you know what else was pretty good a message from our sponsor assembling your verdaguer gaming chair just got a whole lot easier with a simple insert mechanism of the back seat onto the side rails so you mount the side screws much faster a true one-man job assembly made easy by over a year alright everyone thank you so much for watching all the relevant videos and links will be in description below including my raid failure which is why I'm not rating in this system thanks so much for watching I'm Dimitri with our Canucks we'll see you in the next video
