機械式硬碟的驚人效能，但使用者需要的是更快且更大的硬碟，

But there's a problem! Nearly any SSD will give you a noticeable performance

製造商不僅需要重新評估 SSD 的設計，還要

重新評估這些 SSD 與系統主機板連接的成效如何！

manufacturers need to re-evaluate not only the design of the SSDs themselves, but also

現在，用於連接 SSD 的最普遍介面

how they are CONNECTED to a system's motherboard!

名為「Serial ATA」或稱為「SATA」。SATA 已經推出一段時間了 -

Now, the most widespread interface for connecting

它首次面世時間是 2003 年 - 自此之後，基本上，SATA 的執行速度就隨著

但在資料傳輸速度早就超過 SATA 3 頻寬的今日，

SATA 3 介面仍然是

不。顯而易見地，情況必須有所改善，工程師已經開始思考

Especially a very high speed one?

如何突破傳統將硬碟由傳輸線連接到主機板的作法

NO.. It was clear something had to be done, and engineers began to look beyond the

並研發更快速的連接方法！他們發現 PCIe 就是最佳解答，

這個傳輸介面是可節省能源的超快速連結，而且幾乎已經運用在所有事情上，

在您為閃亮新裝備挑選儲存方案時，

But while it's super cool, not everyone NEEDS a PCI express SSD and regardless

別忘了，無論何種用途，HyperX 系列 SSD 都有符合您需求和預算的選項。

of which direction you'd like to go when picking a storage solution for your shiny new rig,

HyperX Savage SATA SSD 系列可提供頂級效能，

HyperX has SSDs that will fit both your needs and your budget.

連續讀取和寫入速度分別高達每秒 560 MB 和 530 MB，

Their HyperX Savage line of SATA SSDs offers fantastic performance,

而且價格經濟實惠。

with sequential read and write speeds of up to 560 and 530 megabytes per second

如果您準備好採用 PCIe，

at an affordable price point.

則無需考慮 HyperX Predator SSD 以外的產品，

Did you notice, that's really close to that 600 megabyte per second thing I was talking about before?

因為 HyperX Predator SSD可達到每秒 1400 MB 讀取速度和 1000 MB 寫入速度，而且配備矮版支架，能妥善地安裝於任何系統中。

So, if you tre ready to take the plunge for PCIe, then you need look no further than the HyperX Predator,

which can hit speeds of 1400 megabytes per second read and 1000 megabytes per second write,

It also comes with a low-profile bracket to fit comfortably into any system.

So, thanks for checking out this little video on SATA vs. PCI Express.

I hope you enjoyed it, and don't forget to subscribe

They've got all kinds of great stuff, some of which features me! Woo!
