okay so we're with Mike Mooney senior
0:06
technology manager over Kingston and he
0:07
has one of the coolest looking PCS that
0:09
you might ever see and this is what you
0:11
do right Mike you like computers look
0:13
super cool I do I do I do it at
0:15
professionally and uh personally well
0:18
that's great so what are you showing us
0:19
here the presumably the SSD drives just
0:21
I'm showing off the the latest and
0:22
greatest um from our hyperx all the way
0:24
down to our consumer level products uh
0:27
this board is featuring a quad Channel
0:29
kit of overclock memory um that's uh
0:32
used on the Intel x79 chipset so real
0:35
high performance running at 1866 right
0:38
out of the box what we call our
0:39
plug-and-play memory x79 isn't that the
0:41
car James bonro uh no I think that was
0:45
the dv9 or something like that yeah so
0:47
you have some demos to show us show us
0:49
something amazing show us something am
0:51
all right uh well why don't I show you
0:52
what I built into the box first um so uh
0:56
starting at the top would be our
0:57
bleeding edge um high performance solid
1:00
State Drive uh called the hyperx and
1:02
this comes in uh 120 and 240 gig
1:05
capacity read and writes on this thing
1:07
are super fast 555 megab per second on a
1:11
read and 510 on a right using the satus
1:13
6 GB interface um next would be our KC
1:17
100 drive now these drives are in
1:20
identical internally but they're tuned
1:22
differently our kc100 is tuned for a
1:24
business environment and has some
1:26
Enterprise attributes built into it uh
1:29
below that would be our consumer class
1:31
drive so you want to get into solid
1:32
state drives and you don't want to break
1:34
the bank um our v200 Series this is like
1:37
a fourth generation product we have
1:40
capaity up to 256 gigs also sat a 6 gbit
1:44
very high performance next would be our
1:46
entry level or boot drives um these can
1:48
also be used in industrial environments
1:50
low capacity drives we call these the um
1:53
the s50 series and then lastly would be
1:56
our MS 100 drive you can see that back
1:59
in there that little small form factor
2:01
Drive plug can either plug into a
2:03
motherboard uh such as the z68 from
2:06
Intel and add caching to a spinning hard
2:09
disk or it can be plugged into a tablet
2:11
or an Ultrabook environment for a really
2:13
small form factor high performance SSD
2:16
cool so demo let's see let's show show
2:19
us this stuff well if you've never seen
2:20
an SSD before super fast seeing is
2:23
believing is what we say at Kingston so
2:25
I've just written this little demo back
2:27
file here to show you how fast you can
2:28
open programs so uh and files uh on this
2:32
system this is about you know 50 uh
2:34
files across seven programs in about 10
2:37
seconds or so so this is awesome so
2:39
basically your boss walks in you push
2:40
the button and they're like wow you're
2:42
so busy yeah so busy great so then
2:45
performance- wise how much performance
2:47
Improvement do you see as you sort of
2:49
work your way up the food chain on the
2:50
front of that PC um well it's a it's a
2:53
pretty good jump um between our KC 100
2:56
and hyperx and the entry level uh V2 200
3:00
series we've got a model that's going to
3:01
sandwich right in between there it's
3:03
it's just about to be launched it's
3:04
called the v+ 200 series and so that
3:07
will um also be a sand Force based just
3:10
like our top two drives are sand Force
3:12
controller based and that's that's the
3:13
io speed right well sand Force
3:15
controller they make the premium high
3:17
performance um controllers for solid
3:20
state drives on the market Kingson
