AS SSD is a great free tool designed just for benching Solid State Drives. It performs an array of sequential read and write tests, as well as random read and write tests with sequential access times over a portion of the drive. AS SSD includes a sub suite of benchmarks with various file pattern algorithms but this is difficult in trying to judge accurate performance figures.
Another set of impressive performance numbers is set forward by Intel's SSD 750. Sequential read performance lingers around the 2.3GBps-mark, while AS SSD reports more than 370,000 IOPS for its 4K-64Thrd read test.
Write performance is, again, significantly lower than the read performance. A fast M.2 PCIe drive, such as a high-capacity Samsung SM951, is likely to offer higher sequential write speeds than the SSD 750. That said, the 4K-based write performance is undeniably strong.
Access times are in the low-tens of microseconds range, which is notably faster than even G.Skill's RAID 0 Phoenix Blade.

Hi Norbs,
There are some enthusiasts who stand by backplates on any expansion card they use. When dropping more than £300 or £800 on an SSD, a black backplate worth tens of pennies is not too much to ask for.
A metal backplate would also conduct heat away from the rear-mounted NAND packages, so its function is more than to prevent ‘severe clashing with one’s system’.

I just would refrain from listing it as a CON of the card; it’s performance speaks for itself. Most datacenter grade pcie cards don’t have any type of backplates. Only reason I’d agree with you would be to simply protect the NAND because
I’m pretty sure intel did their due diligence to make sure that card
does not need cooling on those NAND chips.
I think it’s fair to call it a con; many enthusiasts will want a backplate but the drive doesn’t have one. To many people, buying a piece of computer hardware is about more than just the performance (whether or not other people agree with that mindset). As we can see though, it is a clearly a minor ‘con’, hence why it’s tied in with the point for an intermediate capacity. I would be surprised if anybody chose not to buy it solely for lacking a backplate, but they may attempt a mod to make it look better in their system.
I agree that the NAND packages on the rear are unlikely to *need* cooling from a backplate – they are relatively low capacity (lower number of dies). Most people value a backplate for aesthetics although there are arguments for structural rigidity and cooling, whether or not they are actually required by the drive.
I just pointed out the lack of backplate as a con. If you personally don’t see it as a con then that’s completely fine and it can be ignored.

Why get this when you can get the Samsung SM951. Sure the SM951 is AHCI not NVMe, but 2.0 GB/s is insane regardless. On top of that, I believe it’s less expensive, and it’s nice and small due to it being M.2, therefore leaving room for your 2 or 3 GPUs, soundcard, or whatever. Plus, I’m sure Samsung will make a more consumer-ish / less OEM-ish version of the SM951 soon which I’m guessing will be NVMe, but now I’m just speculating. Anyways, Samsung SM951 all the way.
The intel kills the SM951 on iops… depends on what you are using it for and too was trying to decide which to buy. On one hand the intel 750 will perform better while on the other hand I can use the SM951 in a laptop or other device later. I also tried to see if I can even get my hands on the 512GB SM951 and the best I could do was a site that had it backordered until october 2015.
Then again the SM951 doesn’t come with a back-plate “for enthusiasts” lmao.
I agree with you, no backplate is almost a deal breaker for me
Now, I just need to win Euromillions and I will get one haha. Just kidding, I don’t have any luck…
dfyt . true that Patricia `s report is impossible… on wednesday I bought Saab 99 Turbo since I been making $8569 thiss month and also ten/k this past month
. it’s actualy my favourite-work I’ve had . I began this three months/ago and pretty much straight away was earning more than $75… p/h . you could try here HERE’S MORE DETAIL
Too funny, I just saw this drive on newegg and it seems as if the final retail version actually includes a backplate.
