    Intel 750 ssd NVMe

    Wow, these drives are fast.



    For certain applications it almost feels like a ram drive. This 400 GB is run as a system disk.



    It will be interesting to see how the Samsung SM-951 NVMe does. To eventually have storage with the speed of ram would be awesome.

        I was drooling over these especially the PCI-E version until I found out none of my computers would use it

        @Bordday, I wouldn't use an SSD for any type of bulk storage... just OS and executable programs. I'm using under 100G of my 240G SDD currently. No games there... yet.

          I picked up the 400 Gb for $389 at Newegg. The 1.2 TB is about $1K and 15% faster.

            Unfortunately only recent bios updates to the Z97 and X99 platforms will allow this to be a boot drive. This will of course change as we move away from ACHI and hard drives to solid state disks. There is serious competition on the horizon for consumer drives using the NVMe standard whether it be the PCIe or M.2 format. Good times.

            NVMe specification:
            NVMe Set of Specifications Overview The NVM Express® (NVMe®) specifications define how host software communicates with non-volatile memory across multiple transports like PCI Express® (PCIe®), RDMA, TCP and more. It is the industry standard for solid state drives (SSDs) in all form factors (U.2, M.2, AIC, EDSFF). NVM Express is the non-profit consortium of tech industry leaders

              Yup... one computer is X79, another Z87, and last is B85... and the NUCs

              I've heard brief threat for the X79 but nothing firm. I really don't want to upgrade it... it is still beating up stuff with no problem.

                It should work with Win 8 and Win 8.1 on new platforms supporting PCIe gen 3 (8G/s). It requires both a motherboard supporting PCIe gen 3 and a CPU providing clock for gen 3. Otherwise the SSD drops to slower gen 1(2.5G/s) or gen 2(5G/s). If it does not work on your computer try to move to another slot. There were compatibility issues with some boards in previous revisions. Win 7 may not have a native NVM driver so it should be installed manually if needed.

                  NVMe is getting traction in the storage sector however it is still pretty expensive.

                    Yep, these are pretty awesome. I might have to consider trying some when I upgrade my MB.

                        I hope you never have issues and have to run a chkdsk off a Win DVD if you have one of these. Win (PE/install) DVDs get easily confused on drive letters since Win7 (maybe Vista too, but I never used that much), seeing the boot partition as the C: drive.
