so today I'll be unboxing a bit of a relic now while this product is not that old it is still a bit of a rarity because not very many people bought them this is the OCC and yo this is a USB 3 portable solid-state drive this was first shown at CES 2010 and check this out check this out this is how long this unit has been sitting in our warehouse to the dust on my finger yeah disgusting ok so this is the 128 gig version and what ocz was attempting to accomplish with this particular product was a way for users to have a portable USB flash drive that is as durable as a USB flash drive but offers a much larger amount of storage so when this Drive was released the biggest USB drives were in the 32 gig range so while the size of this device is larger than a USB drive the speed is vastly superior ok it offers read and write speeds up to I guess hopefully it'll tell us at some point because I don't actually know but dramatically superior speeds and larger capacity but the drawback is that it is also significantly larger than a USB flash drive so here I'm going to show you guys the Nu here it is so this uses a 1.8 inch SATA to drive this is an in the links drive inside a very slick aluminum enclosure so this is a very classy looking product it's got a custom interface on the back so that is a USB 3 interface that is somehow I guess adapted for SATA power and data let's not let's have a look at the cable that's included you see just what kind of fancy shmancy cable we're dealing with here because I've never seen this cable before here we go ok ok ok know the reason I'm not familiar with this is just because I haven't used much usb3 stuff this is just a USB 3 mini B cable so micro USB 3 is what they're calling this and that is be so that SuperSpeed USB 3 so remember USB 3 is up to 10 times the speed of us be too alright it comes with a nice high quality very flexible cable here usb3 connector on the one end and then we've got the micro connector on the other end and then actually hold on give me two seconds so I just had to create a partition on the drive so I'm going to go ahead and take my benchmarking and drivers folders which total about five gigs I'm going to copy them over to local disk why I'm so fast ok that was just the burst at the beginning so the actual sustain transfer speeds that we can get out of this are around 130 2 108 spur second very very respectable so we're pretty much up there at the limits for USB 3 that's about oh yeah can remember zoomed in too far that's why it was blurry um yeah so that's pretty much all i have to say about that very fast um not a lot of people bought them but yeah it was pretty expensive at the time I think the 128 gig drive upon release was in the 400 to 500 dollar range so thank you for checking out this unboxing don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
