    It's always good to see SSD's improving. This is still a bit pricey for me but lest than $1/GB for something this fast seems to be pretty good.

    I don't know what I'm looking at but it looks brutal. The G.Skill's sine wave looks nice though.

    $389 for the 400GB $0.97/GB. $1029 for the 1.2TB $0.86/GB. It seems to be only for the X79 and Z87 platforms for now. Apparently it's breaking people's SSD benchmarking tools or something.

    Intel today unveiled the Intel® Solid-State Drive (SSD) 750 Series, its highest performing SSD for use in client PC storage devices and workstations. The 750 series delivers greater than four times the performance of SATA-based SSDs by utilizing four lanes of PCIe 3.0 and the NVM Express (NVMe) standard. For added flexibility, it is available as both an add-in card for systems with an accessible PCIe 3.0 slot and as a 2.5 inch small form factor solution. Intel also announced the availability of the Intel® SSD 535 Series which offers the ideal balance of cost and performance for mainstream client PC storage devices.

    Hmm been wanting to get back in an SSD for awhile. The one I had gave out after not that long so I sort of lost faith in them. Plus, a 500GB SSD should be enough for me these days on my PC and was waiting for prices to come down.

    But I guess this sort of thing won't work on my "old" P67 hardware.

    This isn't really for most consumers. If a single SSD isn't fast enough for you, try running a pair in RAID 0. Most platforms should support that and it should still be cheaper than this thing. You could get 1TB of striped SSD storage for under $400, or a single 1TB SSD for around $350 now.

    I have two PCs, one with a 256GB Samsung 850 EVO and another with a 160gb Corsair Force III. Both are so fast I can't imagine needing anything faster right now, but then again I'm not running any kind of enterprise servers or transferring huge files regularly, either.

    I agree with @mb. This seems like it's meant for game devs or digital movie makers and not most (or normal) consumers. It's really cool and all, but I'd rather get a cheaper SSD that is smaller in size for my OS and use a lager HDD that would less then these intel SSD for everything else. Sure the intel SSD would be faster, but for that cost to GB isn't good enough for me at the moment.

    I'd be pretty curious to see how it compares to the M2 SSD's, I might consider this in the future if I end up buying another SSD, since my motherboard doesn't support M2 SSD's :(

    EDIT: Just saw the video in the PCPerspective link. Answer found. Reaction: Holy fuckin' christ.

    Would be pretty sweet to have one of these. Would effectivly make everything you do on the computer CPU limited i guess, it pretty much is anyways with an normal SSD.
