hey YouTube welcome to tech yes it is baronies you coming back to you guys today with an unboxing and review of the toshiba cfd 256 gigabyte SSD now this is a JDM product I believe so this has just been released in japan and as such i wanted to get a new SSD and i was thinking about getting the samsung probe because i need you i was like oh why do you need it you've already got an SSD why do you need a new SSD well i got this specifically because i needed extra space and also needed faster write speeds specifically because i was recording a i'm starting to record as you guys know i record a lot of videos in camtasia studio and my actual solid-state disk drive now won't record 1080p raw so this will this will definitely should be able to and that's the reason for buying also i wanted to use my old 128 gigabyte for my hard drive for work so i got two computers i want to work and one here and i'm going to use that one to be a portable little SSD now as you can see here's the product it comes with a three-year warranty so it's not as good the warranty on the pro samsung pro and it'll be specifically comparing this to the samsung pro because it is pretty much a contender it's around the same price this was about twenty dollars cheaper than the samsung pro and the reason why I got this over the pro was because it's cfd and I've already got rammed from cfd and I really like the brand it's really good value for money and so I'm going to see if this is good as good value for money as the ram was and pacifically the 3-year warranty is not as good as the Prime going to say that now the five year warranty on the samsung pro is better and i probably i mean i'm going to see how the speeds hold up but hopefully I'm expecting a lot out of this hard drive but as you can see here it's made of metal so it's cased in a nice metal casing here it really gives a quality feel to the product even though it's a real small lightweight product and as you can see here with the bum boxing here it comes with an adapter plate as well for a 3.5 inch drive so you can slide that in plug it into this and then slide it in and will fit perfectly in your hard drive bay suit is good i like it it comes with the adapter it comes with screws as well so that's going to save you any hassles if you you know some some old cases don't have support for ssds so it's a really good feature to throw that in and now the box is just the box comes reasonably well packaged i do like the metal casing that's the one do like I'm not going to be pulling this apart due to reasons I don't I don't want to void my warranty so I want to be actually using this for a good three years you know if I pull it off and it fails then that's going to be two hundred dollars down the drain if it fails yes so there it is so that's the box let's go into you guys probably wondering that speed so I'm going to do some tests they're going to install this do some tests as a secondary drive because that's what a lot of people do test when they test these they test them not as the main OS drives they test them as an off drive they just plug it into their motherboards do the tests and this is exactly what I'm to do so I'm going to run a sssd and crystal disk benchmark any others to test and then when comparing two typical samsung 840 pro two on 56 gigabyte benchmarks and we'll see how this thing holds up so this is a JDM product I don't know if it'll be sold in the states or the UK Australia but I'm pretty sure I mean some of the safety products i do see around that this is good mugen anyway let's get on to the test let that do the speaking okay so the first result here is a program called d and this is a really good program basically just does a heap of tests and it gives you guys an overall score and as you can see on the right here I got this drive from write speeds and as you see there the write speeds aren't that impressive the 4k read and write speeds are almost the same as my corsair force 3 which is a little bit annoying the sequential writes are really fast but as you guys a lot of you guys know the sequential writes like they're not the be-all and end-all so I'm a bit disappointed about that let's move on to this samsung and i'll show you guys some results here okay so this is the samsung pro and this is just a result i pulled off someone on the japanese price website thing it was just a random score it was basically all the results that people got on the score was similar to this one as you can see here the write speeds are just huge on the samsung so the samsung 840 pro 256 gigabyte is a beast of an SSD and so that mean this program is one of the many programs but i like it because it's so simple and it just gives you guys realistic results and it obviously just gives you a score that you can generally go by I mean the scores obviously there's going to be some other programs that are way more like you know they're going to give you way more results and may more in-depth things into the SS is but I like a sssd because it just gives you an even easy score that you can look at and say okay this is this this is generally how good the SSD is but let's move on to crystal disk mark now which is another benchmark and as you can see here my CFD 256 gigabyte again did pretty similar to these schools in d I mean on the 4k reading rights they wanted that impressive and this is the 4k reading rights are really important because they I mean in a lot of the tests that were done on a and tech and Tom like all these SSD places the 4k reading rights compromise like ninety percent of the usage of an SSD so that being said they're so important but they don't get enough weight in these benchmarks I think so if you can see here the Samsung destroys it in these and the 4k read and write so that's an important thing to notice the sequential reading rats are pretty important I mean pretty that's the same but they're not that important so let's move on to the Samsung now in this tests and see how much see what it did compared to this one and as you guys can see here the Samsung just whitewashes the cfd I mean the 4k red rice a huge I mean look at the guy he's already putting data on his SSD as well I think he's been using this as a main OS drive or something but you can see twelve percent is already using data on this drive and so the samsung 840 pro is just huge so that's what i'm just getting out here i think these samsung SSD 840 pro is a better buy especially even if it's only another ten twenty dollars it's definitely worth it so i may have made the wrong decision I don't know but anyway let's get on to the final closing and I'll guys I'll show you quickly my force three as well as the main OS strap and as you guys can see here did really got a really bad score in a SSD but the thing to notice was that the 4k read and rights were actually pretty decent I mean the sequential reading rights weren't that good as well as the 4k 264 threaded scores but the yeah the 4k trading rights was so we're pretty damn impressive and this is the thing this is why a lot of people say all SSDs feel the same kind of thing is that's because the 4k read and writes there's no substantial difference like you know the samsung 840 pro is not like five times or four times faster than this one it's only that the best two times faster this is why a lot of people say in SSDs like they all feel the same that's because the 4k reading rights which compromise like a lot of the score a lot of the usage of an SSD so he goes I'll go on to the conclusion okay so in closing guys I will say that the samsung 840 pro 256 gigabyte is huge that thing just destroys anything on the market at the moment I think the vector as well as a pretty damn good choice as well but that in Japan that thing is just overpriced so the eight the 256 gogi about a 40 pro was like another twenty dollars and I think it is definitely worth the extra money so this thing is just a new product so I think it's a bit overpriced at the moment I think it should be about twenty dollars cheaper than it actually is maybe forty dollars cheaper than samsung pro the right speeds were a little bit disappointing since i got up specifically for the right speeds but that's not to worry i mean it does what i needed to do does recording 1080p raw which is great and that's what i got it for so I'm really happy about that and it's also going to replace my corsair force three and so I'm going to use my force 3-4 a little mobile computer that can plug into work and it's really good so that's a good option there and i will say that yeah the three year warranty on this thing is not that impressive i think it should come with a five-year warranty especially since the competitors are offering like plaxton on the m5 p and the Samsung are offering five years on theirs and that's pretty huge so five years is really good it was in closing I will say I hope you enjoyed this SSD review it's not well I mean you don't get really get to see these JDM products that much and so I love giving it to you as well so I hope you guys enjoyed it please give it a thumbs up if you did and if you haven't read subscribe to take your city and i also i will say that i'm going to take a break until has well because i just got a lot of my plate IRL like I'm really busy but I will get a tech talk done about monitors so a lot of people are asking me about monitors and i want to i'm going to do a tactical monitors also keyboards and mouses sort of all in one give you guys some great recommendations from my personal experiences with all these types of panels what i've seen at the stores i've got an IPS panel at home here I've got a TN panel at home here I've got all these panels at home I've seen a lot of panels get friends with all these panels have got a lot of them at work as well as extreme amount of panels at my work so i can give you guys some great recommendations and best value for money kind of thing so yeah that'll i look forward to giving you as that and i will do that probably next week or in the next two weeks and then i'm going to be having a little bit of a break until haswell so that's that and i will get some sick Sundays up as well because they're really quick to do so they're really easy for me to do as well so it's stress free so anyways I hope you
