CES 2010 OCZ Suite SSD Tour Including Z-Drive P88 Linus Tech Tips

2010-01-11
so on here in the OCC suite at CES and I've actually got their entire SSD lineup in front of me it might not be the whole thing actually they have so many SSD products from about this line over and kind of going over this way we've got the current product so you've got your vertex your agility as well as your solid - these are all products that we've seen a lot of but there is some new stuff here too first of all you've got the vertex - which you can see they've improved both the sustain breeds the random reads the sustained writes and the random writes and it also features a brand new controller as featured on an antique home so you should definitely check out the review of this they're expecting it to come out sometime around the February maybe March timeframe if it does get pushed back another really cool thing we've got is the vertex - frogurt X - Pro X which are basically a faster controller or a faster controller with SLC flash so this is gonna be more interesting to the enterprise guys but that doesn't make it an irrelevant product so it's very cool to be able to see this now this is by far the coolest one maybe you won't be able to afford one effect if you're a consumer I can pretty much guarantee you will be able to afford one but you remember the C Drive C Drive is incredibly high spec and manages amazing sustained reads and writes because it uses a piece Express interface rather than a traditional SATA 2 or even SATA 3 interface for a hard drive now the C Drive has been updated to the p88 model which you can see it's using a PCI Express 4x interface but the cool thing about this and I'm gonna get the camera person who is assisting me here got a funny look on his face now to have a look really closely here you can see that it actually features upgradeable flash so you can buy a particular model of the pata and then you can actually upgrade it to a higher density flash later on down the line so it actually features here I'm gonna turn it around to the back so you can see here we've got four in the links controllers on the back of this card it is a stacked card so there are four more into links controllers and then we've got an internal RAID controller on the card right here it looks to be a single slot solution but it might bump into the back of some parts depending how far components stick up on the back if they have a backplate or whatever but to me this is by far the coolest product I've seen so far in CES and I think the guys that it was easy for showing it to me via be sure to check out my video blog every day for more unboxings and product info
