Posted May 27, 2015 NCIX: http://bit.ly/1FeScfPAmazon: http://geni.us/1Wg9 We know that Intel's new 750 Series SSDs are amazing... but just how far ahead of "traditional" consumer storage drives are they?

Posted May 27, 2015 Wish I had a Intel SSD in my system. Also, first. "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Posted May 27, 2015 I have been waiting for this video! I kind of want to see some stuff:Boot timesGame loading timesFile transfer timesFull Windows installation timesYou know, actual real life stuff, would be cool!

Posted May 27, 2015 This is how how I felt when I saw those numbers. Honestly the price for performance? Not bad. I saw the 400GB versions on ebay for £400-£500. Not exactly cheap but still in a price range of an enthusiast- this said however when you can fully utilize a drive like that otherwise RAID 0 normal SSDs will do just fine. Another thing @Slick what did you mean when you said "the drive is too fast to produce meaningful results"? What procedures did you use? Apart from those crazy synthetic benchmarks, we'd like to see real world results too.. How about getting two of them and transferring terabytes worth of 4K raw material? That should do the trick. Great video as always. Keep it up.

Posted May 27, 2015 So is that a 30 Watt SSD? That's a fair bit of power, it might have to be factored into power supply choices if they take off. I get that currently anyone buying an SSD in that price range is going to have an overkill PSU, but if they drop in price, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2015 That is one hell of a drive. If that NVME standard becomes common practice that will be amazing. Of course assuming that the price goes down somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2015 Despite of being just synthetic numbers, they're pretty impressive. I'd like to see some more footage on how this drive performs in real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 27, 2015 Also, why exactly does this SSD need such a large heat sink? I'm currious which components produce the "extra heat" compeared to other SSDs (which run with nearly no heat output).

Posted May 27, 2015 Hey Luke, what I would really love to see is how well it performs on a PS3 or PS4. So, if you have a spare one lying around, you should consider doing a video where you try to install/load a game on the original hard drive and the 750 series. Let's see some real world performance, and how much of a difference it will really make for us gamers.

Posted May 27, 2015 I think you're on the wrong forums... Every other part on console will probably bottleneck No, I'm definitely on the right forum. Obviously there are going to be bottlenecks. That's kind of the point. As closed of a system as a game console is, being able to eliminate the only bottleneck you can (hard drive speed), it would be interesting to see exactly what point the rest of the system can handle. Think about it, then we would know just how fast a PS3 or PS4 could handle for transfer speeds.

NVMe isn't supported by any playstation or xbox, what made you think it'll actually work when it won't work on 99% of the motherboards on the planet.

Posted May 27, 2015 well this is the first step in making ssd's even faster, i think they will have to make the connection system more fool proof and MB makes need to start to support it, then this could be a new thing next in a few years. i personally still use a SSD from the first generation of them (~150mb/s r/w somthing) so anyone of the new ones seems fine to me.
