Intel Solid-State Drives - Drop Test

[MysticalOrca]

Intel: multi billion dollar company. WHY IS THE VIDEO IN crappy 240p???

[YCheckerY]

wow

[indoctrin8ed]

The hard drive version goes dark before impact. Cheat.

[Merimi]

@indoctrin8ed maybe because windows fucking loaded?

[MyLemons]

mother f!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O_O hahahahaha scary

[momin8888]

What's the difference between a USB pen drive and an SSD? Can't the USB drive used to install the OS and boot from there?

[uvmatt3000]

@momin8888 the technology is very similar, with both SSD and USB pen drives using chips to store data rather than rotating disc platters. people have been able to run operating systems from pen drives but this has proved to be very limited. (do a google search on running windows from a usb stick)

[MrHesiadmin]

I wonder how many people have f...ed up their laptops to test their new SSD disks. lol

[beekun807]

can't wait for the prices of SSDs to come down

[Twisted86]

Sorry but if you leave your labtop on or move it after turning it on your a idiot and a SSD don't solve that.

With that said the X25 from Intel really is sweet for desktop use :P

[lenovoservice1]

the screen wil have a scratch.beacuse laptop screen is very easy to broke.

[chrischoy9]

@lenovoservice1 Not the LED screens

[narcoti]

Im pretty sure that when you drop a laptop with a hdd the loading screen will FREEZE not turn off. For instance if you have ever experienced a hdd failure while in windows it FREEZES it does not turn off , it can sometimes blue screen but it will never turn off, further more laptop hard rives have built in motion sensors to turn the hdd off before impact

[uvmatt3000]

@narcoti good comment. this is true, when a hard drive goes defective whilst using Windows, the cursor usually does the hourglass loading thing first.

[chrischoy9]

@narcoti The hard driver motion detector :-)

[MrCarrollJayWare]

Why would you say it is fake. The loading screen was gone because he drop it and it kept loading with the ssd of course I would never on purprose or want to drop my laptop like that LOL

[eidolons01]

FAKE, look when the 1st laptop is about to touch the table the loading screen is gone. I just wish you did the experiment when the two laptops are in desktop.

[aSASa45454]

idiot, standard hdds arent even safe while falling.

[jlb1118]

Intel rocks! That guy on the video is pretty cute, too;)

[TechGn0me]

Damn, i need a SSD

[KrosTrikare]

Do want.

[cheesylard]

epic

[ipzent]

very

[AsthmaSucks]

Intel pretty much own :D

[leallandu33]

intel is GOOD!

[MooriaFTW]

lol

[ikcti]

It's so SOLID.

[darkstar744]

solid state drives are so solid, makes me solid. dang this is solid, i can't stop saying solid. SOLID dude!! lol srry

[drboose]

i can't wait to throw my laptop around like that!

[fattony638]

SSD for the win!

[atlaschooty]

oh, did he really do that....

[cusinndzl]

The Iphone 3GS has better quality video than this.

[neelwebs]

I can't even believe Intel killed a laptop by droping it.

[jdwn67]

lol

[arvutihull]

They deserve a better camcorder.

[verbindingsfout]

SOLIDhhh....

[Kevinmaxtor]

badass

[CohanDigitmatta]

HP P series rocks

[superpwn2000]

drop them when they are running already

[Flybyhacker]

SOO SOLID

HARD DISK on hard but not SOLID

[KOkun]

SOLID.

[ambucias]

it's simply solid state, not intel.

[tcpnet]

Yea very nice HP Smart Disk protect automatically stops the hard drive when it drops.. SSD's no effect...

[Krust666777]

SOLID!

[eurohim]

Of course it can take a bigger drop. It doesn't have to be Intel either, just solid state. Perhaps you should mentioned the short life span of your typical solid state hard drives? I suppose unless it is actually memory based.

[notToast]

they programmed it so the one on the left shuts down

[kingdong4]

nice stuff. there's a lot better stuff about ssd's other than being able to drop them than HDDs.

[bigdima3]

id buy one if it was sata2 SLC drive , and i wish there were 8gb model so i could raid them to run OS

[CRAKIZGOOD]

do it again

[mman454]

how about you just replay it again
