[sixflagsbelgium]

put a magnet on that toastcard

[Weini123]

rageproof?

[mapouchi2807]

gimme one

[KtGES]

Nice Spyderco.

[MrJake0604]

do you get to keep this stuff? do you buy it yourself?

[LightfeatherxX]

@MrJake0604 that's a damn good question

[bambuka2000]

@MrJake0604 No and NO

[aspirinemaga]

What the F&*! does "but will it blend" means ?! i can't translate it !! Please answer

[sachoslks]

@aspirinemaga Blendtec.

[manssupar]

what about with the price? crazy right?

[Bomber123AL]

$50 over 5 years

[Gamer5843]

Lol this box sux :P

[qdowobp]

the reason i watch linus is because he speak god damn well english, in a normal way too!!!

[trashypickles]

whats the differnce between pcie ssd and sata ssd other than ports

[ulkord]

@trashypickles no other difference. i dont know if sata is faster/slower

[fredfanhomie]

@trashypickles Speed, purpose, size and some other stuff. PCI-E is most likely to be your add-ons such as video cards, sound cards, TV tuners, USB adapters, etc. SATA however, is meant to be a small, adequate solution for HDD's, SSD's and optical drives. So why is this a PCI-E card if it's an SSD? Well PCI-E 2.0 has much faster speeds than a SATA II, and other than that, everything is just physical difference. I Hope I answered your question.

[FruityLoopsification]

@fredfanhomie sata 2 doesnt matter since sata III is out.

[fredfanhomie]

@FruityLoopsification It does matter, this video was published in august when there were barely any HDD and SSD manufacturers making SATA III drives, and by the way, PCI-E 3.0 is out too.

[mecaniquejp]

@fredfanhomie Yeah but the Bandwith beetween a PCI-E 2.0 X8 vs even Sata III is not comparable.

[fredfanhomie]

@mecaniquejp that's true, but when it comes to SATA III only SSD's can take full advantage of it, and only about the most expensive, small storage SSD's can do that job. The point is.. you should buy an SSD for a boot drive and a hard drive for sorage, keep the PCI-E for the most useful stuff, say sound cards and video cards lol.

[usalaxbro11]

25 Gigs per chip

[kingspecmorffin]

OMG,why don't you try the SSD of kingspec,with the same performance and has very good price and quality, the capacity is from 1GB to 480GB, including SATA,PATA,ZIF,CF and any other interface SSD.

if you have interesting you can contact with Morffin, email:morffin@kingspec.com.

[fagerbag]

if it was me, i would have ran away from the country and sold it for 5 grand instead of sending it back to the company

[VertexMediaGroup]

I felt it.. Did you feel it?

[nails6365]

im sure the heatsink is very important to its stability. the fact is the whole vidoe was about unwrapping it and removing it from the box, we didnt even get a boot screen! i bet 99.9% of the viewers here were gagging to see a atto bench test ?

[lilmaiky1100]

god i think i just wet my self what a great product

[MontyMiller1]

5,000 dollars? I wouldn't touch it without being in a room made of foam.

[isaac9517]

@MontyMiller1pft i wouldn't put it in my oven of a computer.

I need watercooling

[53525252252]

Where are you getting this money?

[tehEngineer3]

These videos give me something to geek about. I love it.

BUT it makes me wish i had money to buy these things.

[sakuradl]

For the cost of the ssd one can buy a car.

[umeshtheman]

that thing is as costly as an awesome gaming machine with 2 ssd's in raid 0.and 2*7970 in crossfire.and 2*what-nots.

[VyperEye89]

5 thousand dollars!!!! Damn I'd be afraid to touch it, I'd probably break it.

[pablokornilovich]

over $5000 dollars, whoa, this is some crazy stuff

[Therayden02]

Please test it! o.o

Or has already happened?

[ultragaming1993]

4:36 Thats a 6gb/s serial attached scsi (sas) integrated raid controller ;)

[KEEVVY]

TAIWAN the best.

[IXI69IXI]

OCZ has the highest failure rate.

[ThePedrophile]

Hi, just a question from someone who is not too knowlesgeable about computer stuffs....i was checking out ssd's on newegg (after watching this vid) and saw there were 4 different types of ssds? which were Internal SSD, External SSD, Enterprise SSD and Industrial SSD. i would like to know whats the difference between each of them and what are they used for.

thanks in advance.

[1Macdo]

it's a RAID controller.

[xG4m3rJ4m3z]

Unbox the OCZ Z drive 3.2TB SSD! It's $20,000! :)

[gdialpha]

imagine running a server like google, yahoo with this kind of ssd

[50LightSabersInAPack]

Imagine these drives in RAID.

[ItalyNerf]

Give one away :D

[maybedos]

it is more than a billion of pennies saying that with goat lips and my hands flailing everywhere.

[ImmoSci]

@Hoodstraps Did you not hear Linus say that there was unused space on the chips... It is gonna be between 30 and 50 gb per chip due to the levels of spare space Linus was talking about.

[extremesforlife]

Who the fuck would spend 5600 dollars on a goddamn ssd drive! Thats twice than my gaming pc!

[Umbra360]

@extremesforlife Enterprise companies.

[MoneysakonPSN]

To bad x79 doesn't support

[fablungo]

Surely the sum is 1200/12/4 = 25GB each. unless they mean tibibyte where it is a bit more than that!

[ryan9298b2]

That LSI chip is an integrated SAS RAID controller. That chip is the equivalent of a RAID chip on a motherboard that would connect four 300GB SSDs in RAID0 to make them appear as one 1.2TB Drive. The chip on that drive does the same thing, just all the flash chips are together on one card.

[frenchygos]

near 50gb's per Memory Chip! :O

[Hoodstraps]

@frenchygos no. That would be it there was 24 chips, but there is 48. So there is 25GB per chip.

[uranumty]

imagine if he broke it XD

[MrKronos321]

OHHH YEAH 1.2TB SSD!!!

[DefectedSalvations]

Can I have it ?

[vibol03]

so what is this 5000$ card for?

[Nixterko]

But will it blend ?

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

@Nixterko If you blend it, you will cry... 

[TutorialsByKevin]

@Nixterko If i got that thing... I never NEVER Would blend it!

[2loupa]

1/go to school

2/do some math

3/make unboxing videos

[nails6365]

jeez, just plug it in, were not interested in the box nor the heat sink.

[lewisner]

@nails6365 The heat sink is important.

[TheCem01]

5000dollars......

yet it probaly costs like 20 dollars to make in taiwan

[MadeInMinecraft]

@TheCem01 Probaly not.

[ghajaanan]

Dear Santa... Shit Christmas just finished...

[smithlee07]

Thats nothing, I have a 3Terabyte SSD hard drive now all for a price of $220

I got a Seagate Baracuda XT 3TB, removed the casing and the stupid spindle and then simply connected red and blue wires to corners of each the platter and stuck the other end of wires into the PCIe slot.

It gives me 800Mb/s read and write and so far has been running rock solid !

[web1bastler]

sas?

serial attached scsi?

[JUSTTHETRUTHTV]

U know I really, really, really need one of those... Where do you live?

OMgoosh $5000??? Is it made out of GOLD?

[1llx]

I just say DAMN ...!

[Crusen00]

Could you please say "1,2 TERABYTE" one more time? 'Cause I didn't comprehend...

[allstars190]

HAHA THE FART AT 5:51 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xXjku472Xx]

Or you can get two 1TB drives

[xG4m3rJ4m3z]

Why didn't you feature this in your extreme buyers guide?

[helloamill]

lol 5g i what lifetime

[Kingwii1]

25gb chips-i think

[Gun08Man]

5.084,00 € WtF?! o.O

[collinw24]

4 of these in raid 0. Imagine those speeds...

[BolvarFTW]

@collinw24 yeah and imagine taking a 2nd mortgage on your house to pay for them

[PoKeR123484]

That looks nothing like a ssd, how the heck you fit it in a labtop

? :p

[TheMaristBoy]

@PoKeR123484 not for laptops, sorry mate

[Hideathrate]

@PoKeR123484 ur a dick

[PoKeR123484]

@Hideathrate Like you? hah

[wodka450]

i asume that something like this fits into a pci-e 16x slot that isnt used but as a hard drive does it still have the functionality or is it just extra space? by which i mean: can you install your os on such a card?

[InjectedPlanet]

TAIWAN FTW

[tilldeathdoesmepart]

This would be closer to $2000 if they weren't Intel Chips :p

[plzgetoffmymum]

THUMBS UP SO PEOPLE CAN SEE.

IT COSTS £2,945

[l0lman2]

Pain in the ass when i see the price.

[DonBurroni]

the revo drives are wack, this looks alot better but still no fusion IO

[12ninjacrazy]

Anyone else notice the fart at 5:51?

[ElshamyWalid]

@12ninjacrazy Did that come out of him or did it come out of the SSD card?

[T4JZtv]

that is the present esther gave him he must thrilled ;)

[amadzack666]

i think each chip got 25gb..and LSI is kind of chip controller that combine the pcb or maybe raid between pcb..

make it more faster

[ahmadmukhlis24]

the controller made in my country. I'm not proud

[rakshansharma]

A 2.5 TB version of this costs as much as my car.

[XxD3MONULxX]

@rakshansharma What car you have ?

[lewisner]

If this had been by ASUS it would have been in a 3 foot square box.

[thereddog223]

I will take 10

[Astrtrick]

most expensive ever comes in a brown box

[TheOllybanks]

when you see linus unbox those $60 el-cheapo motherboards he handles them like frisbees, he's handling this 3K beast like its made of glass.

[GrugDude]

Holy fuck, that is huge! I never thought it was possible to have more than 450 or so GB's on a SSD!

[Lifeofa1]

5,000 bucks. man this would be some server with like 3 of these

[Collective11011]

i got a 80 gb hdd old 9 years no problem at all :)

[kilplayer]

there's a 1tb ssd from ocz for 400 bucks

[awesomejpg]

@kilplayer no there's not.

[saiiad737]

funny ending



[zegermans750]

What's the difference between this thing and the revodrive 3?

[bornwisedistruction]

Hes touching it release HATE&ENVY now!!!!!

[pheeson]

I bought this with a 10,000$ note, and i asked them to keep the change!

[bountyhunter552]

@pheeson Hehe, are there in 10k notes in the states? :)

[JacobLDagenais]

so how about a benchmark? :D

[ImAKillZoneFan]

why the hell would u need one of these ?!

[ArzenalX]

hehehe we are going to be laughing at this stuff in 10 years :D

[Gr8rThenU]

@ArzenalX Make it 9 years >:D

[maintguy69]

I'll stick with my 2TB SATA drives alot cheaper and allmost as fast

[AdamKennethDean]

@maintguy69

...

Try no where near as fast.

HDD's are considerably slower than SSD's, added on to the the fact this is a PCI-E drive and you've got a heck of a fast drive.

[maintguy69]

@AdamKennethDean mine are SATA

total 12 TB try that with a SSD that's almost 6,000 just for drives

and that doesn't include all the fans you gonna need, as far as I know they run hotter than anything else in the enclosure

[AdamKennethDean]

@maintguy69

1. SATA is slower than PCI-E.

2. 12TB's? Gone up from 2TB then?

3. You really don't know much about computers do you.

[maintguy69]

@AdamKennethDean 6 compaired to 8 giga bits per second.... is not all that much faster

6- 2 TB drives on my personal server

and yes I know alot more than you ever will I have working on computers since Apple II e's have been around, that would be around mid 1987 probley before you were born

[AdamKennethDean]

@maintguy69

You're lying, here's how I know.

You've confused Gb and GB.

Working on computers since the 1980's means nothing, technology changes as such a fantastic rate that technology three years old and even more recent than that can be considered out of date.

I can say I designed the Enigma machine, it doesn't give me license to work on anything nowadays.

My first computer was probably an Se-30, though I don't remember it too well.

[AdamKennethDean]

@maintguy69

Okay, here's the specifics.

Gb - Gigabit

GB - Gigabyte

Do your homework before you feel like losing a youtube argument.

[AdamKennethDean]

@maintguy69

1GB is 8Gb...

But I'm sort of convinced you're just trolling now, no-one could possibly be this retarded.

Have a nice life.

[hereschester]

@maintguy69 he is right. there are 8 bits per Byte so in any xbytes, there are 8 times the xbits (1 gigabyte is 8 gigabits, 1 terabyte is 8 terabits etc..)

[hereschester]

@maintguy69 what? you have to be trolling.

[ajohnstitch]

i will miss the cruching hdd's in years to come but for the right reasons

[pimpjuice739]

The price tag is insane but I bet in a few years we would look back and laugh at those who paid extreme price for them :)

[MsiEvgaAsusGigabyte]

When I win the lottery......

[UNIXSOLJA]

WOW

[MindSeeR666]

Do these need *Drivers*?

[blekibabic]

Who need this crap anyway, 5000$ pah idiots

[msi48701gb]

i wont buy this 5000$ ssd because user manual is not included.LOL

[Odst447]

5000$ wow defanitally dont need that

[nousername21]

Would you guys recommend OCZ? I heard their SSDs have a lot of BSOD issues.

[piskooooo]

@nousername21 Only Sandforce had the BSOD problem, which is apparently fixed now. I'd just get a crucial M4 either way.

[nousername21]

@piskooooo yeah I did. Read some reviews and other people recommended it as well so I got one. The 128GB version. My current PC won't utilize it's full potential but when I upgrade my PC, it will work just fine.

[piskooooo]

@nousername21 Nice, I had 3 but I sold them lol

[Justchuck69]

after the high failure rate of the vertex 2 line i would not have any confidence in this product ( as i hear some are having troubles with the revo line too)

[alain026]

Fun fact. This thing now costs 5000 dollar.

Some years ago a 2 gig hdd was like 400 dollar. And now they cost almost nothing.

So I think that within 5 years, almost everybody has this.

[Batta0909]

so hawt ahhhhh

[zweisteinJ]

i will never have a chance to have such an item, but for some reason i got so excited i found out about its existence O_O

[Crawlerz2468]

15% restocking fee: $750

RMAing a $5000 SSD: priceless

[Theairplaneguy4ever]

subtitles on!

[Theairplaneguy4ever]

giveaway?although i would just sell it and buy myself a car

[Zwiebelkuchen08]

Other people buy a car. I buy an OCZ Velodrive.

[paladinMgn]

another marketing shit. Production cost of that thing is what, 50$ or so?

[YoshiHDify]

Can I has it?

[ridge111296]

I thought he made a typo

[ChocoBanana777]

for real... "Beam me up Scotty!"

[lapulapu12345]

5,640.69 USD or 245,539.23 PHP it is fuc*ing expensive

[angelite143]

who will buy that monster here in the Philippines?

[lapulapu12345]

@angelite143 only computer addict business man can buy that lol.

[lapulapu12345]

shrink wrapped drives has many virus on it :P

[ssuuppeerrbbooyy]

benchmark?

[TheWanted31]

geeez bro !!! i wanna the Revo Drive.. but now i know there is a Velo Drive !!!!

[Kingnothing8585]

How much would I get if I were to sell a kidney in the black market? Oh, not mine, just one in general.

[PhillipLarkson]

Drinking game: Take a shot every time Linus says "expensive," "enterprise," or "serious."

[StingRayINC]

The Chips are made in Malaysia..

[TheWanted31]

@StingRayINC maybe i will get this in MY .. good to know ! thx
