like the samsung sm951 in terms of speed (but even faster, with 4x teh iops)
but also comes in pcie form factor

I want the 400GB one for system and certain games. I'll turn my current 500GB 840 Evo into storage for Steam Games. Sadly, it'll be about $1 per GB, so really expensive even for SSDs.
only 1.2k
i think this is that dumbass introductory price
there is no way that on a new type of unit they would just
go and double the cost per gig all over again
this has to be just because they are the first on the market or something
normal sata ssd's are like 1/5th the speed,,,,, but still half that price in general
cant boot from it either so kinda worthless atm
I'm pretty sure Intel is targeting Enterprise, Prosumers and Enthusiasts with large wallets and supercomputers. All the afore mentioned people will have no problems dropping tons of cash on these drives for increased performance. The rest of us plebs will just have to deal for the next several generations.
YOU cant boot from it

With Haswell-E and its 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes, there are obviously no issues with bandwidth even with an SLI/CrossFire setup and two SSD 750s.
Unfortunately the X99 (or any other chipset) doesn't support PCIe RAID,
so if you were to put two SSD 750s in RAID 0 the only option would be to use software RAID.
That in turn will render the volume unbootable
We'll have to wait for Intel's next generation chipsets to get proper RAID support for PCIe SSDs.

I've been debating with myself about getting one of these or a 512GB samsung SM951 for my M.2 slot. The SM951 was just made available to consumers in Australia this week and should be available in the US on Amazon next week. I have an X99 system with 40 PCIe lanes so I could get the maximum bandwith from either one. There's not much difference between the sequential read/write speeds between the two but the 750 blows the SM951 away at random read/write.
so the new intel is that freaky new nvme system
and hte sm 951 is still the older more compatible system
the sm951 has a quarter of the iops but you can use it in nearly any m.2 compadible slot ( i think )
I am really excited about the SSD, I was planning to get the p3500 and was mad when it vanished off of intel's website. I assumed it got canned and will never see the light of day.
I really want to go NVMe, and I think i want to make the jump to 1.2TB, 400gig's will just not cut it.
you need i think x79 or x99 chipset AND possibly on top of that a bios update
not to mention its a NEW connector
that, is NOT sata. its not even sata express we saw last year.
unless your going the pcie version, then just the chipset ,driver, and bios update
We have 3 of the 400gb PCIe models inbound at work :) I don't usually care about hardware, but I can't wait to play with these.
awwwww
there are rumors that they are considering an 800gb option
There is also a 1.2TB version of this drive allready.
oh yea, talk nerdy to me baby
what motherboard cpu and operating platform was that tested on ?
and did you have the supplemental nvme drivers pack installed?
okies, tested on MSI X99S XPOWER AC with 5960x @4.20 , Windows 7 64 bit Pro.
I have tested it a month ago, as I got first preordered batch in UK. So I have installed all drivers possible at that time, Next week I`ll be trying to make it boot on x79 RIVBE.
Ran some benchmarks today with the 400GB PCIe model. Speeds were great, easily passing 1000MB/s on both read and write, but what really blew me away was under maximum load the disk latency was 0-1ms for reads and 30-40ms for writes.
When you consider that 15k 600GB SAS drives are a few hundred, these really aren't expensive. Would happily use these in a high performance DB server or general VM server environment.
