IOMeter is another open source synthetic benchmarking tool which is able to simulate the various loads placed on hard drive and solid state drive technology.
Using a queue depth of 32 (in order to test Intel's claims), the 1.2TB SSD 750 delivers just over 460,000 IOPS for the 4K random read test and more than 310,000 IOPS for 4K random write. These are slightly higher than Intel's reported numbers, which may be due to BIOS/driver updates. Random performance is a strength for the SSD 750 and its PCIe, NVMe controller.
Average I/O response time was in the fractions of milliseconds range for the read and write tasks. A high CPU utilisation was required to ensure that enough data was fed to the SSD for its full potential to be reached.
Additional testing with a queue depth of 1 saw the SSD 750 hitting 193,000 4K random read IOPS and 143,000 4K random write IOPS. Those numbers put it well above a typical SATA 6Gbps SSD and even OCZ's and G.Skill's four-drive RAID 0 solutions for random reads. However, the multi-drive RAID 0 solutions were able to register 4K random write IOPS greater than Intel's SSD 750 (~167,000 for OCZ, ~181,000 for G.Skill).
Looks great! As per with all the new stuff… Not keen on the price! Ha But absolutely do want!

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.
