hello good people hope you're doing fine as you can see by the title of this video we are looking at an RGB SSD yes those I finally come to the market I guess it's a little bit kind of late for them everything is RGB now but we'll see what it's capable of and since I don't have any more surprises for you why don't we just roll the epic b roll sequence for the unboxing all right so this delta r gb SSD looks pretty good and it's coming from team group the company that brought us this beautiful RGB memory so my expectations for this one are pretty high I don't particularly like the whole branding approach here with delta T force text and the teen group logo but the texture of the SSD is nice and from what I can expect the RGB element will be epic and so I've set up an RGB system behind me the p300 with all types of RGB goodness in there we're going to add this our GB SSD inside the system and see what type of flare it adds to our system so should be fine let's check it out right to this are you ready okay watch this so that is what the components must feel like inside the H 500 P managed by Coolermaster check it out in the description below alright people so the epic RG penis begins with the connectivity so this particular Delta SSD is the Magnificent version as they call it which means it has an addressable RGB header instead of your standard RGB and so this got me all confused what is the difference between an addressable RGB header versus your traditional RGB header so let me break it down to you in two simple terms so the technical difference is the addressable RGB connector is a 3 pin 5 volt connection versus your standard RGB connection is a 12-volt 4 pin connection whereas the color differences for the addressable RGB each LED can be assigned a different color therefore you can create these beautiful gradients versus on the non addressable standard 12 volt RGB headers each channel can only be assigned one color and therefore you cannot create a gradient on something like this where with addressable of course you can't so there you go now you know what this whole addressable RGB really meant for is color customization and gradients and that explains why they have multiple versions of this SSD the Magnificent ones for addressable RGB to create those gradients or the simple one that is one color only now I find myself in a little bit of a pickle because the only motherboard with a 5 volt addressable RGB header is this one the z3 70 ITX for my soos but I don't have a processor for it because it's inside my main workstation so instead I'll be using the fantex digital RGB starter kit because I can connect the SSD to the controller from the fan techs and actually have this full control of illumination and lighting effects and it syncs up very well to this entire RGB direction so that you know it's not just two random colors over here they actually correspond to what I have set to you know the LED strip and the Lux fan frames so they all match up and so I do like their simplicity for connectivity we have a micro USB which right beside your other connections so it's not in some random location and this cable breaks down into your five volt RGB header for your addressable header on the motherboard or a separate three pin connection which is optional so you can connect it to other accessories like this fantas controller now my initial impressions for this thing is wow the color illumination is beautiful and I'm so happy we're moving into the addressable RGB direction because we can create these smooth and beautiful gradients and not just having one single color for this large illumination area and one interesting observation is that this illumination in terms of color accuracy and color map mismatch is actually perfect to what I'm seeing from the fantex digital RGB kit with the lux frame and the LED strip - so that's that brings me hope that I can mismatched brands for RGB illumination as long as they are addressable they will receive the exact same information for the illumination and each LED will display hopefully the exact same color as the rest of your peripherals however you want all right so what is the moral of this story I mean RGB as these are coming out but more importantly addressable RGB is expanding to a point where it's the right approach to lighting up your peripherals be it the power supply be it an SSD or whatever addressable is the way to go forward now it is an absolutely beautiful product when it's lit up the color just vibrancy is just incredible you also get pure white unlike on other RGB peripherals that have like a slight of blue and some where they're hidden in the background it's not like pure white which is awesome with addressable RGB that is the side effect now in terms of uniformity they've done a pretty good job but it's not 100% the LEDs are at the bottom here and they shine the light through this transparent top the t4 section is lit up very well but you can definitely tell the bottom section beside the Delta is the brightest of course for RGB peripherals it is very important to be multi-platform compatible so it is supported across all our dress about RGB headers and with all types of motherboard software - so what else can I say oh it is slightly thicker because of the additional RGB layer so you're not going for the traditional seven millimeter thickness this is more like nine which is not really an issue you're not trying to stash it in a notebook somewhere you're trying to really show it off and clearance for nine millimeter SSDs is never a concern now in terms of speed this is a simple solder base SSD nothing to say here no huge advancements you get regular Sauer speeds as shown on the screen and so I made this video because I feel like this SSD being the only RGB SSD on the market right now it's almost like foreshadowing the future you know it's giving us a little glimpse of what's gonna be coming in couple months because our GPS as these will be the huge craze you know that's the only component that has not been totally occupied by the RGB craze so it is coming now a few negative pointers that I would love for other SSD brands to take note of when they actually finally launched their RGB SSDs is designed that's important here way too much branding like so much text so much going on I mean slightly aggressive slightly you know texture like just way too much when it's in the vertical orientation the RGB illumination is non symmetrical because we have this section there's nothing here and so it's most likely going to be in the vertical orientation in the first place and not like this so yes design is important and I would love to hear your ideas about what would be your ultimate RGB SSD appearance-wise alright guys so that is it for this conversation about this particular SSD and this whole addressable RGB direction I like where we're heading but it's also risky territory of it being too much at the same time so I guess we shall wait and see I'm Dimitri thanks so much for watching make sure to check out this other relevant content and we'll see you in the next RGB
