excellent what's up guys welcome back to my CES 2017 coverage from Las Vegas Nevada I am here at the Toshiba Suites I'm actually going to be looking at some ocz products right here because OCC is of course a Toshiba company I need to start off by thanking my sponsors for CES 2017 gigabyte deep cool and of course Toshiba let's start off with a quick rundown of these SSDs that they have now these are all available for sale of course so you could purchase them right now but if you're not already familiar ocz has the TL 100 first off over here on the left side this is a SATA 6 gigabits per second drive 2.5 inch available in 120 and 240 gig capacities sequential reads and writes up in the 550 and 530 megabytes per second range 85 thousand and eighty thousand ieps respectively for random reads and random writes so this is going to be a solid all-around drive for you guys if you're a little a little bit more of a budget you could probably get this for a little bit better price but that is using TLC memory so triple level cell and it also does not have a dram cache so if you know what that means then that might mean something to you if you don't I'm not going to bother to explain it here this is show coverage we don't go into that much detail next up is the OCC TR 150 also a 2.5 inch little SSD looks pretty cool nice silver finish on these also by the way which i think is nice my camera will focus of course so I should blend in with the system some blue accents on there as well and I like I like the OCC design I think they do a good job with that the TR 150 is of course also SATA 6 K but gigabit per second 120 240 480 and 960 gigabyte capacities 550 megabytes per second and 530 megabytes per second reads and writes and up to 90 thousand I ops reads 64,000 I ops writes and that one is sort of a step up from the TL 100 to the TR 150 this one is getting into the high end at least when it comes to the SATA drives this is the OC zvx 500 series which has a little bit more and I want to say aggressive design here it's got a little bit of a texture there an actual finish for the housing and then of course well usually there's a label on the back with the specs and stuff but that's alright the specs are right here this is again of course 6k a bit per second drive so it is going to be slightly limited by the SATA bus this is using mlc nand flash memory so two bits per cell which is a considered by some to be a little bit higher end than TLC stuff it can be faster in some consider in some situations and possibly have more endurance but you do get five hundred fifty megabytes per second reads 515 megabytes per second writes 92,000 apps on the reads and sixty-five thousand i ups on the writes at least if you're doing 4k stuff of course but then we have this guy over here which is my favorite at least of this bunch because it's an nvme and dot - SSD so this is the Rd 400 and it comes not just with the m2 SSD itself but also with a very convenient riser card so PCI Express you can just plug it in there to one of your PCI expansion slots provided you haven't done a two-way SLI configuration or something you don't have enough slots ready to go or if you have an MDOT - you can pop this into that now they have added a little bit of cooling via a thermal pad there at the bottom to help to keep things cool but I have been told by OCC that these drives do not suffer from thermal throttling throttling except in the very most extreme situations so you should be fine unless you're sticking it right under a graphics card or something like that this is PCI Express gen3 by for nvm nvm a one point one be compliance I don't know what that means all I know is that of nvme I'm going to have to look at the standards and what the differences between them comes with that adding card adapter that's optional to achieve a controller Toshiba mlc nand flash available in capacities up to one terabyte a five-year warranty program actually there's a five-year warranty for this drive as well as the last VX 500 drive the other drives I just showed you have three year warranties and then reads 26 50 megabytes per second 2.6 gigs per sec can I say per sec I don't I just shortened the word seconds that's not really necessary up to 1600 megabytes per second writes and then random reads into 230,000 IAP range and random writes in 150,000 app range so if you want some fast storage get like two of these and raid them and that would be cool but don't do it don't do it on the z2 70 seventy platform you need you need x99 for that or maybe one of the new AMD AMD rising chipsets I don't know why I'm talking about that I'm just speculating here's some enterprise products that they have on display probably out of the range of most of you guys but still fun to look at it's also velcroed down so I'm just going to pick the whole thing up this is an SSD it's got a fat heatsink on it and it's available in capacities up to four terabytes it's the px 0 4 and again probably not going to grab this for like an at-home use situation but hey some of you guys might be into enterprise stuff so check that out there's hk4 it's a SAS SSD capacities in the 200 gig although up to 1920 gigabyte range just shy of 2 terabytes and then a PCI Express version of the px 0 for the PX 0 for P which also I like when SSDs have to have heat sinks on them that means that they're fast at least in my experience finally here we have the BG series this is listed as client ultra mobile nvme which is these are designed for OEM so they're not quite as pretty as far as like the darker PCBs or anything like that but you have this chip that's been integrated on this down to this m dot 2 which is an MDOT to 2230 which is the shortest MDOT to drive that I've ever seen and then we also have some other integrations over here but look at this ignore the velcro on the back but this is basically just a little little chip that is an SSD yes that little chip right there has the SSD controller as well as the NAND integrated and right now these are these they can make these in a 512 gig capacity so this little chip I'm holding in my hand is not just like a 512 gig man chip it's also the controller unlike everything you'd need for the entire SSD so you could like take this and solder it directly onto the PCB of like a laptop or something like that or you can do what they did and drop it on to just like the tiniest little m dot to drive possible which I thought was pretty cool they actually have a demo unit of this going so let's check that out so here's a demo system they have set up that was sent over by origin and that little m dot to drive just chillin there right right down on the bottom right hand corner of the board it is again so small that like spec wise it doesn't actually yep so it's kind of floating there but I think it looks very cute and just to show you guys who haven't already experienced the difference when it comes to something like load times this is doom loading off of that little SSD and it should take just a moment or two because you know doom load times they can be very very time-consuming and now it's ready to go that was quick if you guys have ever tried to load do them off of like a hard drive or even like a slower SSD it can take forever so really cool I like having the availability of really really tiny SSDs there are lots of fun I am going to close off this video though guys so if you enjoyed it hit the thumbs up button of course thanks again to my sponsors gigabytes as well as ocz to Toshiba as well as deep cool thanks for watching again guys the thumbs up bun and we'll see you next time
