- Question for you.
Do you ever experience this while you're editing.
Maybe you're working on something for a client.
And you, and you, and you just,
I think we've all been there.
We can all relate to this.
So in today's video, we're gonna be taking about
how to supercharge your computer so that you can have
pretty seamless playback and editing workflow.
We'll be covering the gear that you need in your computer,
the benefits of having said gear, a bit of an overview
of hard drives and the different hard drives that exists,
as well as file structure and a bit of a performance test
so that you can see some comparisons.
So like every other YouTube in the tech world,
let's jump into that intro.
(rock music)
I'll be the first to admit it was only a few months ago
that I started educating myself on the types
of hard drives to use.
I didn't know there were other ways,
and people would always be like SSD's.
And I'd be like I don't know what that is.
And be like use SSD's.
I started to listen to that,
and then I started to deep dive.
And then I bought all the right gear, and lo and behold,
I now have I type of workflow that works for me.
Now this week's episode is brought to you
by a Samsung product that we'll be talking about
in this video, specifically, was something that I put
into my desktop PC that I built six months ago
when I wanted to upgrade,
the Samsung NVME 970 EVO Plus.
This is an amazing SSD.
It's done wonders for me in terms of my workflow.
I'm gonna put a little asterisk's because this is
an essential part of getting good performance.
But make sure that your motherboard is compatible
with this specific SSD.
All right, so that is the product from Samsung.
But let's do a bit of an overview so that you have
a better understanding of these different types
of hard drives and how they work.
All right, let's take this cup of coffee right here.
This, we'll call this the HDD.
Now, you're probably familiar with an HDD.
This is a spinning disc.
They're very easily accessible.
A lot of people go and buy them because they're cheap,
and you're probably using one right now.
Now, let's say you want to level up.
You want some better performance.
So you go and buy an SSD.
This is an espresso.
You take the espresso, and you're like whew.
This is a nice little performance kick I'm getting here.
I might switch to espresso.
But did you know there's one more level beyond that?
So let's take this double shot of espresso.
Let's pour some Red Bull into it
and also a five hour energy drink.
That right there, that is the 970 EVO Plus.
This thing is a rock star.
Do not make this drink.
If you make this drink and then you actually consume it,
it, I don't know.
It could kill you.
It could just cause you to, like it's too much.
Do not drink that.
So what are the benefits of having the 970 EVO Plus
in your computer?
Well, number one.
Smoother playback.
You're not gonna have any of this glitchy stuff.
Number two, faster rendering and exports.
Now if you're like me,
sometimes you have some very heavy after effects work.
It takes a long time to export.
You don't wanna just sit there.
You wanna like get back to work.
Number three.
It takes up way less space in your computer.
The thing is literally like this big.
Number four.
Reliability and endurance.
Now in HDD has a spinning disc in it.
There's moving parts there, which ultimately means
that there's a higher chance of losing your files.
So let's say you've gone out
and you've done a big photo shoot.
You have like 100 gigs that you need to dump onto your card.
Well, that transfer from your SD card
to that SSD is so fast.
And the last thing is that this thing
is super easy to install.
Here's a clip from when I built my computer.
My friend, Ross, here is just installing it right
into the motherboard.
Okay great.
So now you understand what gear you should have
and how that gear essentially works, but it's rendered
useless unless you actually set it up properly.
So I'm gonna tell you how my structure
is on my current desktop PC.
Let's start with the different types of hard drives
that I have in my current computer.
The first one is the 970 EVO Plus.
This is where I run all my programs
and my operating system off of.
The second 970 EVO Plus that I have on my computer,
this SSD, this is where I store all my current projects
that I'm editing.
This video that we're currently editing right now,
is on this SSD drive.
And my last hard drive is an HDD,
and I call this one the Vault.
This is where I just store projects that are completed
that I might want to access later on.
All right, we're gonna do a comparison test
specifically between an HDD and the 970 EVO Plus SSD
and compare when the files are living on the HDD
as well as when the files are living on the SSD.

So as you can see, there's a pretty huge difference
in performance between the two types
of hard drives out there.
I used to just accept if that's the performance
I was getting I was like hup, that's just the way it is.
And I'll have to live with it.
Turns out, there are better options.
Genuinely speaking, I was pretty stoked
when Samsung reached out about this product
'cause I was like oh this one's already in my computer.
I'm currently using this one, and I've also lived with
that performance for the last six months.
And it's really benefited my workflow.
I could actually make better quality videos.
I don't know if you guys have noticed,
but the channel's gone from like just making 1080p videos
to 4K video uploads in the last little while.
That's because of using products like this.
So thank you Samsung for sponsoring this video
and making dope products like this so that us, as creators,
you and me, can just get back to creating
'cause that's really all we want to do.
Is create more and have better performance.
All right guys.
That's the end of this video.

And we'll catch you guys in the next one.
Should I try a sip of that drink?
No, no, I really shouldn't.
Not at all.
That would definitely hurt me.
