Kingston SSD Destructo Series Episode 1 - Baseball

Post by Apoptosis »

Kingston Technology joked around about doing a series of viral videos that show off how tough solid State Drives (SSDs) are by doing crazy things with them. It looks like they took the marketing idea and made it into reality as they have posted "Kingston SSD Destructo Series Episode 1 - Baseball" up on YouTube. In the video clip one of the Kingston engineers takes a wood baseball bat and gets a 256GB Kingston SSDNow V+ Series drive pitched to him. He takes a Babe Ruth swing at it and well, you can find out the rest by watching the crazy video below. We reviewed this drive in 2009 and found that it was a great drive that still retails for over $700!



Solid State Drive stepping up to the plate. Hit by a baseball bat the Kingston SSD is still able to perform under rough conditions.

I... just can't watch...

If they want to really abuse those drives they should send me a couple, let's see how they like being called names and having blue leds flashing in their face all day long.
Sometimes mental abuse is more hurtful than physical abuse. :mrgreen:
