mustang guy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Has anybody installed on of these yet? I watched a video on Newegg with 2 Intel guys, an Asus guy and a Newegg host. If you want the fastest transfer speeds and a reasonably good cost, these things blow away SSD's and even multi drive RAID 0's. Watch this video for details.

Thaddeus Smith Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 No, but I just put one of the Samsung 850 Evo's in my music laptop. 250GB for $99.. hard to beat that deal. My music apps aren't too read/write intensive, but overall the OS is snappier and you remove all of the "noise" inherent to a spinning disk that some claim can make its way into the audio reproduction. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ive also done the 850 transplant... not sure I will ever go back to a mechanical hd. Even though ssd's can loose information without power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though ssd's can loose information without power. And as fast as these 850's may be, they've got nothing on the Apple OEM PCIe SSD's in the new 2016 MacBook Pro's. I love how snappy my new model is - the old 2010 + SSD feels sluggish by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I was kinda coveting that Asus motherboard as well. I also have the Evo 850 256GB with a 1T Samsung SATA drive. My old computer is new again. This new Intel 750 SSD sounds unbelievable, it's certainly not for the average user.

My old computer is new again. This new Intel 750 SSD sounds unbelievable, it's certainly not for the average user. But it will be. It looks like Intel is concentrating on bandwidth and multithreading directly to the CPU cores like video has been doing for years. Hard drives were never fast enough to worry about. Now with these drives, the data can come faster than even the fastest CPU's can process them. It is a paradigm shift, and the prices will come down as more vendors enter the NVMe technology, and common motherboards support that and uEFI by default. In my opinion less than a buck a gigabyte isn't necessarily an enthusiast price even though it is above the average user. Anybody building a 4K gamer system should look seriously at this technology.
