we've got something really cool this has been under wraps and under development at asu's for 11 months already and it's not even released yet we're looking at probably sometime later this year 2013 you guys are going to be able to get your hands on your very own Raider Express welcome to Linus tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is Linksys this is a storage solution from a soos which officially puts them in more categories than I think anyone else in the entire computer component business but they are very very serious about the way that they're entering this category I mean look at the way a soos did networking where they came in you know a couple products and then boom all of a sudden Asus routers are all over the place you might see the same thing here this is a PCI Express 4x card we're not able to talk about what kind of a controller it's using we're not able to talk about what kind of flash it's using I'm not even allowed to show you the back but what I am allowed to tell you is that this is gonna look sweet with your ROG board and what I'm also allowed to tell you is that Asus has taken 11 months to release this guy not only because they care about the performance any ROG product performs this is a given we already think I shouldn't even be saying this you guys know this already ROG project product performs but this is all about compatibility and interoperability it is bootable it is fast so that's all good it'll also work so they validated with every active Asus chipset so it'll work on any Asus board they're gonna just say yes by asus board put this in it yay thumbs up if you buy an rog board it'll look sweet but you know we buy another board it'll still perform awesome in fact if you buy even a other more completely different board from another manufacturer they're validating that too so these are some of the issues that people have had in the past with these PCI Express based SSD storage solutions mistakes made by other companies are to the benefit of someone like Asus because they can take that and go look we're not going to do it that way we're gonna fix it I for one I'm extremely excited about this because frankly there's not that much stuff that you can put in a PCI Express slot I consider myself kind of ridiculous as far as my computer goes I've got a dual slot graphics card dual GPU which is enough for me I got my sound card my ball in essence dents or his own arse ents rather and then I've got a raid card so this would be instead of a raid card attached to a bunch of SSDs I could have a raid card SSD thing going on in that slot and other than that I mean what else can you really put in there capture card I got a capture card so now we're gonna have more options and because of that PCI Express 4x connector we're moving beyond the bottleneck of say two three six gigabit per second it's not fast enough already and in another quarter from now when this guy sees the light of day it's going to be even not fast enough so PCI Express here we go thanks for checking out this video and don't forget to subscribe make sure you catch all of our CES 2013 coverage and we're gonna amend this to the end there's actually a couple cool overlays so you can overlay your own crosshair and I'm afraid I actually don't know how to do it but probably something to do with this game there you go aim point for practice mode and you can overlay a timer for yourself so if you have me say you're an RTS player and you're like oh yeah I got to go check back on that expansion base in 45 seconds you got your startup order you got it down you set up your timer that way you're able to check it and monitor it without using like a phone stopwatch or something like that you thanks for watching - tech tips at CES 2013 powered by Corsair Seagate Technology and lynxes
