<p>Finally!</p>

<p>At roughly four times the speed of my already speedy SATA SSD, this drive is almost like having a permanent, non-volatile RAM disk. I have loaded all my programs onto it and even the robust DXO 10 runs fast. Besides programs and my collection, I have also put the Windows swap file onto it for another speedup. If you've never seen a folder of RAW files coming at you at 2.3GB/s, it's a thing of beauty, as is the way everything runs on it.</p> <p>As far as the upcoming hardware, I tend to take a long view regarding upgrades. I always set aside a little and do a major upgrade when needed. But my old i7-920 is still chugging away in my HTPC, and the desktop with a 4930K (not overclocked) and this drive will last even longer.</p>

<p>For now it runs as a boot drive on X99.</p>

<p>As you may know the protocol known as NVMe breaks the SATA bottleneck. These drives ( Intel 750) only reach their maximum speed on a PCIe 3.0 connection (Intel X79 with an Ivy Bridge CPU or X99 chipsets) either via an add-in card or an adapter that fits M.2 slots (for a 2.5 inch model). Unlike M.2 drives these are easier to cool since they aren't mounted against the motherboard.<br /><br /><br />Until manufacturers update the BIOSes of their X79 motherboards it can only be used as a programs/data drive, not for booting (but who cares about boot times?). In my X79 system the 400GB Intel 750 drive runs programs and reads data as fast as I originally expected my SATA SSD to perform (which is FAST!). With only programs on it there's plenty of room for my collection, and I even have spare SATA SSD space with just Windows on that.</p> <p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/gkcnsoF.jpg?1" alt="" width="482" height="610" /></p> <p> </p>

<p>Unlimited budget? Screen size? I've been happy with Lenovo and Samsung hardware.</p>
