Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
No there will be no noticeable difference between a SSD connected true a CPU or chipset. All SSDs, even a fast one like the 750, have a slow access time, inhered of NAND. The only exception could be if a SSD has cache memory, and you would access data from the cache memory, but that also still...- player-x

Compared to the milliseconds latency that NAND has, a couple of nanoseconds will not make a huge difference. ;)- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
No its just 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes from the CPU, the other 4 extra lanes come from the chipset. http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Intel-2015DT-skus-2.jpg- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
If i am correct the CPU will just have 16 lanes, but the chipset will have a upgrade to DMI 3.0 and have one PCIe 3.0 x4 connection, and some more PCIe 2.x connections. If you want/need more M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe connections for more NVMe disks, you will need to use a PLX chip.- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
How can that be a problem for a pure system disk? De P3700 can have have 17x its drive size of writes a day, or a total of 62 PetaBytes of writes for the biggest model.- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
Just get a 500GB 850 Pro as your system drive, and you wont have any re installments, and a 850 Pro is about just as fast as the SSD 750 for desktop use. And having your system and game files on different disk is properly even gone be faster in daily usage, at least it is for me, tho the 750...- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
Even with a 100GB a day, (you really are a program jockey :-), you could still use the SSD for 6 years, guaranteed, but in practice more likely he would last at least 35 years before he would stop working. Really, the drive wear is not something i would really worry about, 6 years is about the...- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
Its not like the drive is going to fail after 219 TBW, Intel just guaranties that amount of writes, my TV has a warranty of 2y, but its not like its going to go stop working after 2 years. If you look at the linked destruction write test of the 250GB EVO with crappy 19nm TLC NAND, it still...- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
On average people write about 1~2GB of data a day to there drive, and if i check my 850 Pro i come to about 1.8GB a day, of writes, if i check with Samsung's SSD Magician, and dived my disk writes with days in use. Even the smaller 250GB 840 EVO, with its crappy TLC nand, came to about 800TB of...- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
Ok, but still more then 2x the price/GB compared to a 850 EVO, still freaking expensive! Yes whit a HIGH QUEUE DEPTH, almost totally irrelevant on the desktop! Yes JBOD and R0 are apples and oranges, i see +/-1% CPU, when i copy files from my R0 to my RAMdisk, but even JBOD should not see...- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
Last time i checked it was still $1/GB, and thats only with a $60 rebate. You really dont get it what i am saying, do you? Yes on the double the sustained throughput, and no there is marginal improvement in random throughput at queue depth lower then QD2, your normal desktop use. That is...- player-x

Intel SSD 750 Review: NVMe for the Desktop @ [H]
No, i actually also want a NVMe (2.5'' version) SSD, but not for these prices, with so little improvement on the desktop. Whats the point of buying a turbo supercharged car, if you only drive in town with it? So whats so great about this SSD on the desktop that it justifies a 2~3x the price...- player-x

There is a simple reason, SSDs run in the same wall as memory dose on the desktop. Faster NAND, or more bandwidth like here, dose not improve latency, and for the desktop, latency is just as important.- player-x

Why buy a expensive first gen product, that has nearly no real world desktop benefits, but a 850 Pro and you have a nice vast solution.that has 98% of the time the same performance.- player-x
