Technically 70GB/219TB is massive value, but practically 70GB/219TB is laughable. I can do that easily, without stressing myself too much (in particular that 219TB part). I know there is more to come from this tech, but I'm very unimpressed by first incarnation of it.
I agree with you fully on that one, A SSD thats 2~3x more expensive, but only brings mostly marginal benefits in real world scenario's dose not deserve a Gold award, with a 10~20% price premium i would say it deserves a Gold award, now i agree Bronze is more then enough.
I would really wish that people would stop saying this bs remarks, as even the real crappy 19nm TLC NAND from the 250GB 840 EVO can withstand 700TB of writes before failing.and two: which concerns me the most is lifespan and endurance. Quoting now:

Basically 750 is best used for storage of rarely modified data like movies which is simply ludicrous. It should be advertised as "pr0n holder".
The price per GB of the 750 is right in line with the SM951 AHCI, and will probably also basically be a wash with the NVMe version. The SM951 (AHCI or NVMe) are still OEM-only products with finicky compatibility (not to say that NVMe support is great anywhere, but there's something to be said about retail support of a high-end SSD). Furthermore, the Intel 750 is cheaper per GB than any of the other PCIe options in the test roundup. So, dominant performance, significant new tech and value vs. peers? Seems like Gold to me.I find really surprising Gold Award. Bronze yes, Silver in some aspects, but not Gold by long stretch. There is plenty to like, but there are 2 things which are instant deal breakers for me. And I read it twice to find that there is no mention of it in the article. One: price [subjective item I admit] of 750 vs Samsung SM951, and two: which concerns me the most is lifespan and endurance. Quoting now:

Agreed- the performance was less surprising than the price to me. Intel would have still had a dominant product at a higher price point, but this is an Amazon-style value play by a company with the war chest and stones to do so.
Thanks! This is exactly the impression I got from chatting with Intel's engineers. It's a bit of a downer.
That's high praise, because our PSU reviews are awesome
Thank you!Easily. I've had a 850 Pro for just over 4 weeks now and already have 2.2TB worth of writes. How? Well I like my PC to sleep to save power when I'm not using it and I like the hybrid sleep feature so every time my PC goes to standby that's a 55GB write (you know, what with 64GB of RAM), so that's at least 55GB/day there assuming only one usage session, often two on weekends though so that's almost 500GB/week there. Sure I could turn it off and save the writes but the 850 Pro 1TB is warrantied to 300TB written over 10 years, or about 82GB/day. hell the 512GB 850 Pro is warrantied to 300TB/10 years so the 1TB should be capable of double that. And since the 850 Pro uses stacked NAND on the larger 40nm process and can probably take closer to the 5k writes/cell than the 1k writes/cell of the smaller processes, so the 1TB 850 Pro would crush all those drives they put through the endurance test, and some of those lasted over 2PB written. If a 21nm 256GB 840 Pro can take 2.4PB of data before failing how long do you think a 40nm 1TB version will last? Anandtech seems to think that with 100GB/day it will last over 50 years.
If you do those a lot, then yes great benefits, me i start-up Win, programs and games, and i see marginal benefits.
I do have 64GB RAM for CAD (fr drawings from a refinery i work at), but i never use that much memory, like now i have plenty of things open, and have 4.7GB in use, and 7.8GB on standby, and my hiberfil.sys is always around 12GB, and thats on a extreme multitask machine with a total of 19.6MP of desktop space.
Not really strange, they dont want you to buy consumer SSDs, and use them in pro environment.
I am a piping and maintenance supervisor on a refinery, and use CAD and PlantView a lot to open up drawings, in prep for the work next day, so i work 1~2 hours every day from home ware i do most of that work, instead of the office, (A) my own machine is much better, specially screen and memory wise, (B) i love to have family around me.
Disappointing, but then again I'm probably one of the few freaks out there that prefers to run BitLocker on, well, everything I can.
Uhh, what? SED is far from enterprise/pro only. All of Samsung's SSDs since the 840 EVO support SED. Granted in the consumer realm it's mostly on mobile, and higher end mobile at that, but with a SED you can do full drive encryption with literally zero CPU overhead and zero performance penalty since these drives were using AES encryption to randomize the data on flash, so all BitLocker has to do is encrypt the SED's AES key with its own key and the drive is instantly encrypted. I'd imagine businesses using these in high performance workstations might like something like zero impact FDE to protect whatever files they have stored on them in the event the workstations are stolen.
But those drives dont really have this high server spec IOPS, next to that, no sane admin is gone put a EVO with TLC NAND in a server.
There are plenty of servers that mainly serve up data, and high high read and low wright load.
Yes the 850 Pro is a low/medium server grade SSD, with a reasonable server grade price tag, but the 750 if it can utilize its strong points, in a high read environment, then its just as fast as a P3700 its big brother, for half the price of its big brothers.
