Intel is the first to provide consumer SSD solutions with NVMe with its 750 series, running in a PCIe 3.0 x4 link. The latency and sequential/random results that I've seen are extremely impressive and obviously blow away all of the SATA options. Of course it's overkill for gaming, but none of that stopped people from operating RAM disks.
Intel is pushing motherboard manufacturers to adopt the SFF-8639 connector to allow the reasonable proliferation of 2.5" form factor drives, which makes sense as not everyone has free PCIe slots and M.2 cards can quickly overheat/throttle with other hot components around them.
Is anyone here buying one of these at this time? I think I'll go for a 400GB model for now.
