in early q2 of this year Nvidia announced geforce jia cyst a USB stick that would enable a suite of features called geforce assisted gaming so ghost play would use AI to analyze your gameplay style then if you have to get up to get the door or something it will just keep playing as though it was you me boss boost could analyze boss fights and help you with the most effective way to beat them you could use it one time per session and envy nurture would even tell you when to eat and drink to stay nourished and hydrated even going as far as to tell you when the drinks in your fridge were chilled obviously of course that was an April Fool's joke but after much clamoring from the community Nvidia did actually produce a GeForce GTX styled USB Drive in the same kind of form as the G assist so it looks just like a little miniature GTX Canadian that and durable so Nvidia produce only 1080 of moment I see what you did there because 4k gaming right and they sent us two of them so naturally our first question was can they run Crysis the answer of course was no that's stupid they're USB drives they're 64 gig thumbsticks our second question then was can we run them in SLI let's find out cooller masters 25th anniversary edition cosmos 2 features a unique dual curved tempered glass side panel check it out now at the link below but how do we run SLI obviously there's no you know SLI enable button and in videos control panel for a gag limited run product so we got to thinking well raid then would be the closest thing to running multiple storage devices together for increased performance but this raises other questions how do we do that hardware RAID cards are the best raid experience but as you can probably imagine nobody really makes a hardware RAID card these are like 500 plus taller devices for putting thumb drives in them so know we're going to have to go back to our good old friend software raid something we've actually used several times in the past including on our ill-fated raid 50 solid state 1x server so for our first attempt then things are going to be pretty simple we go ahead and plug in both drives they're both formatted right out of the box we open up the disk management software that's included with Windows look at that they're both detected and then mmm stumbling block what should come up when we right-click on the drive is the option to convert them to dynamic discs they need to be dynamic disks in order for us to run software raid I mean to be clear I'm not complaining that Windows doesn't allow you to run a raid on removable USB devices that a terrible terrible idea but that doesn't change the fact that I want to do it so fortunately we found some unverified instructions on the internet that should allow us to load a really ancient 64 bit USB Drive driver and hopefully get our raid 0 game on so the first step is that we need to disable a cure boot including unloading the PK keys then well we tried installing the old unsigned USB driver to trick the system but that failed with an error about driver signing so by shift rebooting then disabling driver signature in the advanced startup options we can force the driver to install using device manager once that happened both drives were detected as normal internal drives rather than USB drives and the striped array option becomes available for us to know come on surely my random thing I found on the internet with a random driver from 2006 should have worked but it didn't well desperate times call for desperate measures I took to googling it and found this video from the 8-bit guy whose channel intro says the ibooks got hold on a minute oh no you can't do it on the pc but you can do it on a Mac here goes then we got our 2017 MacBook Pro and we are going to do this because I'm determined to run SLI USB drives even if I have to do it on a MacBook oh all right I'm a little rusty on my Mac operation I actually haven't touched this thing since since I did my review of it right nothing on a Mac is done by right-clicking right raid assistant striped raid zero that's what we want no way is it this easy is it going to work ok SLI raid hey this looks promising no it works GTX SLI raid no friggin way okay so let's fire up black magic disk speed test change our target and bam have a look at what these write speeds look like baby okay ah there you go they're not the fastest drives in the world but a hundred and fourteen megabytes per second on our sli raid is actually faster than the 72 megabytes per second that we got on a single Drive so does SLI work on the geforce gtx via fist limited edition USB 1080 drive not a real product thing the answer is sort of you've probably heard that you should use a VPN when you're browsing the internet if you want your data to be secure and you want to be able to access things that would otherwise be restricted but you've also probably heard oh it's complicated you heard wrong tunnel bear is so simple you just pick what country you want to tunnel through and press the button it's available on iOS Android PC and Mac they even have a Chrome extension and they've got a top rated privacy policy and they do not log your activity so whether you want to watch programming that's not available in your region or whether you just don't want your internet service provider knowing what sites you're visiting and what your downloading tunnel Bears got you covered you can try it for free with five hundred megabytes and no credit card required then when you get a year of unlimited make sure you go to tunnel ver comm /l tt so you can save 10% so thanks for watching guys if you just like this video then you clearly don't enjoy fun but if you liked it hit the like button get subscribed maybe cuz
