three two one go so guys I'm here in the OCC sweet and we've actually got a ton of new stock even more than we saw at CES 2010 so there's a few things here that probably won't have much relevance to your everyday consumer now but it's a bit of a glimpse into what we're going to see in the future so this is a very early mock-up of what's called an Ibis XL so this uses the proprietary ocz HS dl interface which is much much faster than even say 262 gigabit per second so you can see that back there it looks kind of like a SAS connection but like I said it is significantly faster so this guy is available in capacities up to or terabytes and then beyond that you can even extend it to up to 16 terabytes so that's pretty much unheard of at this point for an SSD so moving right along this is what I was talking about before this is HS dl this is their Ibis drive I've actually unboxed us on my channel in the past so you guys should be pretty familiar with this well here's an optical version of HS dl so now we're converting aged sdl into an optical signal that we can carry over a much thinner and probably potentially a much longer capable cable depending on the applications that we're trying to go for here so that is one of the things that they are showcasing here in this week moving over we have some more things that were already familiar with this is revo drive x2 this is a bootable it uses quad controllers for San force SF 1200 controllers you can actually hear if i can get my cameraman to come in and have a look at the overall specs so you guys can read that rather than me listing off everything but there's the key one up to 120,000 for ki ops this is a consumer level product it is pricey but it is within reach rebo drive is fewer controllers lesser performance not bootable but still a very high performance storage solution so let's keep moving on down here we're going to find some more interesting stuff this is z drive r3 and what's cool about this guy is that not only does do we have z drive level performance we are using a newer sandforce controller the 1565 and we also have full support for trim so even though this is a raid on a we do have trim support so that is just a first I have never seen an SSD drive in person before that supports raid and trim well internal rate and trim at the same time z-drive are two we've seen this before as far as I can recall and this is a cool one over here so this is Helios this guy uses SAS 26 gigabit per second this same thing here ocz has built-in custom logic that allows it to use an internal raid without actually booting into a raid bios configuring the drive and doing everything manually what that means is they have bypassed all of the limitations that existed in the past for these internal raid drives but they're still able to deliver outstanding performance so up here you can have a quick look with the ones that we're looking at right now we're looking at up to 85 ki ops at 4k but with the newer controllers we can potentially even double that so these are deneva drives these ones are like I said not everything here is going to be relevant to consumers these are mostly geared towards corporate customers and moving along we have quite a few things that we're familiar with like vertex 2 e ex that's an slc version of the vertex 2 we also have the vertex 3 pro but these are preliminary specifications these are not finalized this is using the new sandforce SF 2582 controller which supports say 236 gigabit per second so check out those reeds and write speeds those are well above the maximum rated throughput of stata too so that is why we did need to move while we owe CZ did need to move to a SATA 3 interface vertex 3 DX is that except slc flash so slightly better performance better longevity keep moving along here vertex 2 pro is pretty much like vertex to accept it uses an SF 1500 controller which means it does have power loss data protection it has a super cap on it not necessarily real relevant for your everyday average Joe consumer but it's a great option to have here's a vertex to in a 1.8 inch form factor here's the vertex to work familiar with and this is a neat one so this is a vertex two three and a half inch drive but instead of using a big boxy enclosure like here you can see let's compare it against the idea so I want to get that top down here up here and then down yeah top-down perspective on these so you can see they've built a much slimmer three and a half inch enclosure for that vertex to drive much sleeker and sexier looking here we have onyx and onyx to based on in the links and SF 1200 so we've seen that before so that's it for the ocz SSD s here in their booth don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips and I've got more videos coming on CES ok cool so just as a quick correction to what I said over there the repo drive original version is bootable my bad so anyway let's have a look at this guy right here so I showed you the z drive our three already but here we actually have a working sample and this is I'm not a hundred percent sure if this is going to be the finalized firmware finalized PCD layout all that good stuff but this drive is booted it is working in a computer remember this is fully trim capable and it features internal raid with a next-generation sandforce controller and here you can actually see if you have some context for good for a doe benchmarks you can see right here we've got read speeds anywhere above anywhere above a bow 128 wow we're seeing up to about one gigabyte per second remember that's not one gigabit that's one gigabyte per second read speeds up at the very very high end and even approaching one gigabyte per second on rights as well so that's outstanding one go we got another thing to check out here in the ocz sweet i'm sorry the Lighting's so bad in here guys so my cameraman is gonna have to get pretty close to show you these products so we have a return of the original silencer power supplies from PC power and cooling so at risk of wrecking their demo I'm going to go ahead and pick this up and I'm going to show you guys the back of this unit so it does use an 80 millimeter cooling fan but in order to reduce airflow turbulence through the power supply they've actually shifted a lot of the components and cooling up to the front of the power supply so that right around the fan you don't get that that hissing sound of the air rushing around components so that's one of the ways that they'd really optimize this for silence now these are both 80 plus silver models I'm not actually sure which capacities are available other than these two but so far we've got a 760 wat as well as a 9 10 watt and one of the things that really stands out about these guys other than the wide variety of connections on them is right here these feature a seven-year warranty so that is pretty outstanding right there next on sort of the other end of the spectrum we've got the zs series so this is a bit of a replacement for the stealth extreme too they've added 80 plus bronze certification we've got a three year warranty 500 607 wat 700 watt capacities and one thing that they have added on the 700 watt is for dedicated PCIe connectors so you can run a modern system with dual GPUs off of the 700 watt GS series without any difficulty whatsoever and then this is this is the big guns so this is the ZX series the right here on holding the 1250 watt power supply but there's an 850 watt as well as a 1000 watt version that are also available you can see these feature a fully modular interface with 6 dedicated PCIe connectors now you can see right here these modular connections are all 8 pin so these are all 6 plus 2 pin connectors that means you can run 3gp use regardless of what kind and you're not going to run out of connectors now a lot of power supplies will actually give you a bunch of PCI Express connectors and then they'll give you one cpu one in one like combo cpu PCIe one and then your end up with like one odd man out so they have not gone that route they have given you two dedicated eps 8 pin connectors 5 peripheral connectors and then one full 24-pin ATX I'm actually going to pick up lowest wattage one here and I'm going to see if we have a comparable business end of that one so the only thing missing on this guy versus the 1250 watt unit is two PCIe sick are at eight pin connectors and that makes sense because this is an 850 watt power supply and that probably wouldn't be suitable so these guys are all 80 plus gold like I said fully modular and they do come with a five-year warranty so thank you for checking out my little video but we will seize power supplies in their suite don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips
