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...

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

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

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

And 98% of those people are people need faster sustained transfers, and those people would be helped also by just using raid0.

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.

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...

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.

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...

If you do those a lot, then yes great benefits, me i start-up Win, programs and games, and i see marginal benefits. Me i would put my money in components that really benefit me in general as a faster video cards. I do have 64GB RAM for CAD (fr drawings from a refinery i work at), but i...

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 actually like to...

How can a SSD that cost over 1$/GB get a gold reward, even when it in realworld desktop use only marginal better. All the test that has bin done show how it would work in a best case scenario, but the truth is, almost all desktop use including games is mostly reading small files, that are...

He is not using the phone to take pictures, he is using the phone's screen only as a viewfinder, and on the back of the lens there is a camera striped of almost all its interfaces, like the screen and most of its buttons, but still uses a full sensor. Here is the Sony version, would i use it...

I have normally 3 installations of games, i install all my games on my PC, HTPC and a laptop. Would the game stop working if i switch machines to often in one day?

A other machine that will stand in the way. How will this machine be used? For 1 week it will be used for breakfast. Then for 2 months or so he will be more or less be standing in the way in kitchen. Then he will stand in the way for at least a year in a kitchen cabinet. Then will be...

I have a $8000 Dolby Atmos 11.2 surround set, and i agree expensive Monster cable is just bs, but i still payed 2x $25 for my two RCA cables, and i know i still got ripped off, but i wanted at least a minimum level of quality. And even tho i properly would not hear a difference, i just did...

These cables are 2 years or so on the market. And actually is not that stupid, i have a friend that is a head accountant and audiofiel, and the shop ware he gets his stuff told him that he really needed it, and he believed them on there word, if you are not technical educated or smart, its...

Not a problem at all, have not even noticed a difference, there is properly one, but not a big one.

I cant wait till i get mine, own a P85, that i am gone sell, and i am loosing only 15% in 2y of the new price if i sell the car now. As here in Norway, 4WD is a real plus, on often slippery roads in the winter, next to that the 3.3sec 0 to 60 is a nice bonus. ^_^

Happy loyal ASUS costumer, my first mobo was a ASUS mobo for a P54C Pentium, ware i put in a 75Mhz Pentium that i could OC to 100MHz stable, and if i remember correctly, i also added 64KB fast SRAM to it. Its a shame i sold the mobo, i would love to just have it back, and hang it on the wall...

I get all the time this message, even do i dont use a ad blocker, as i see and understand your needs to make money from advertizing. But do use a tracker blocker Ghostery, as i dont like being tracked all over the net, specially Analytics was tracking me on about 99% of page i visited...

I really dont like the French that much, just like most of the rest of Europe, but they have one of the better law systems in the world, and are really using principles to maintain it, and they are taking pride in that, can you say the same about the American justice system???? So i doubt...

Privacy is really not the same as censorship. I work as a piping / structural supervisor in the Norwegian offshore, and often am i ask to put in my say, when we have new candidates that wane work for us, and i giving a example of what happened during 3 years ago hiring round of workers...

Sure, because privacy is a non issue in the whole debate. That a lot of Americans dont give a crap about privacy, dose not mean we feel the same about it. Just as the p0rn is normal in western countries, its seen a corrupting in Asia, even depending ware you are in the US, people have...

Because the news was mostly a flame the way it was presented, as at the moment this news item went up, it was quoting a privacy work-group of the Parliament (The European Senate), a study group that only gives a advice to Parliament, and has no political weight at all, other then the...

I dont think they would, but they can by mesuring your ping time, tell what block, often what street, and sometimes even what house you live in. Dont tell me Google dose not know what country you live in, and thus cant use different filters for EU IP's then for the rest of the world.

Damn that headline is a pure Flame! Its not the EU that is asking or demanding it, but a privet privacy group. You Americans love to cherry pick quotes dont you, but no wonder, as you all learn from the best Faux news!

Yea plz retake the photo at night or so, because you cant even really see the waterblock's, and it looks like your case is worth it. :D Btw what speeds do you get from your WC Titans, i get 1215/1850 max game stable, and 1180/1850 for Furmark.

You can just go to NASA, and there are many other places, and download a high res photo from there, some even have super resolution and are many MBs big. I had no problem finding a 7680x2800 photo of the milky way, ware i have the milky way in the middle of my 30" monitors, and the picture...

Actually a 290X with a good aftermarket cooler is a real decent overclocker, and a good one on water, whit out throttling, and the GTX 980 is fairly limited in its OC by the limited over voltage nVidia allows. Your remark is properly also the reason why AMD is properly going whit a Astek...

True, owning a beast that can spit out during load between 1000W and 1300W, he can heat up a room real vast. Still for me its not a real problem if you live more north, but can be a real problem if you live in a warm climate, then it can really be a problem, or cost extra money to keep the AC...
