 Welcome to Mind Boxing and first look at the Intel 335 Series SSD. Now this isn't really new by any stretch of the imagination, and honestly it's not really that different from a consumer standpoint from the 330 Series. So it's a San Force drive, just like the 520 Series and just like the 330 Series. So that's the controller inside. It uses Intel NAND, just like every drive from Intel does, and one of the advantages that Intel has as a NAND technology developer and a NAND manufacturer, so NAND for you guys who don't know, are the chips that are the actual storage chips in here. So the advantage Intel has as a manufacturer is they get to kind of save the cream of the cream for themselves, meaning they can provide their three-year warranty with lots of confidence. This is the desktop installation, okay, right, sorry, sorry. So it's a San Force drive just like the other ones, but the difference is that it uses 20 nanometer NAND as opposed to 25 nanometer NAND in the other two drives. Intel has done this without compromising performance, so it's rated at exactly the same speeds in terms of sustained reads and writes as well as IOPS, but it is at a fairly aggressive price point out there in the market. It's available at a couple of different capacities. So I've got the 180 gig one here today that includes the desktop installation kit. So we're going to go ahead and see what they have to say for themselves. So other than their three-year warranty, the box contains the SSD itself. So there you go. Pretty standard SSD, looks like an SSD. I still remember the old Intel SSDs where they had that ghetto finish on the top of it that was just like absolutely brutal and made it look like a third-tier SSD. Now they have a much more professional-looking finish on the top. And I mean this might seem like sort of a quibble, but when you put something like this in your system, you might want to put it on display somewhere. The old ones were just kind of brutal. Oh, there's that old finish. So they hit it on the bottom now. But at any rate, it's got your standard 9-millimeter form factor. So that means it might not fit in the very slimmest of slim notebooks, but just double-check, make sure that you need a 9-millimeter drive as opposed to a 7-millimeter drive, and you'll be good to go. Next up inside, we've got a Speed Demon sticker right there. So you can put that on your forehead or your dog or wherever else you want to put it. A quick start guide giving you instructions on how to install it in your desktop as well as an installation guide and warranty disc. It also says here, the Intel data migration software can be downloaded from intel.com.com.us. That's actually a huge value add because migrating your system from a hard drive to an SSD can be a bit of a pain in the butt. I mean personally, I've purchased software that I spent like 50 bucks on that's great for migrating drives, but not everyone wants to do that. And not every brand of SSD includes the software that you need, or some of them include ones that are just totally inadequate and don't work very well. Intel's one I have used. It works only on Intel drives and it works really, really well. So there you go. We've got a Molex to SATA power adapter, all the screws you need, a SATA cable as well as a 2.5 to 3.5 inch desktop bracket. So it includes everything you need to install it in a notebook or a desktop system. And I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it. It's a mainstream option. So it's not intended as a replacement for the 520 series, which is their extreme performance SSD. And I think that pretty much wraps it up. Thank you for checking out this unboxing and first look at the Intel 335 series SSD. Don't forget to subscribe for all this tech tips from unboxings, reviews and other computer videos. Yeah, I forgot to mention the actual advantage of 20 meter NAND flash is that this drive consumes less power than the old 330 series. So there you go. I forgot something. Sorry about that. It's not the first time I've done it, I suppose.
