00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,760
there are loads of rumors going around that lonus has a very very fast car but

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:12,920
I actually have a very very fast SSD so

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,679
I've got that going for me which is nice

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:22,960
stay subscribed to lonus Tech tips for more videos on very very fast

5
00:00:25,359 --> 00:00:31,279
things the corsera HX 1200i power supply

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,360
delivers 80 plus Platinum efficiency for quiet efficient power for Corsair link

00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:39,760
digital and advanced monitoring and control click now to learn more so let's

8
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,079
kick this off with a statement you won't often hear me repeating unless you've

9
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:50,120
seen all the takes for this shot this is the fastest consumer SSD on the market

10
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,480
this is the fastest consumer SSD on the

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:58,960
market today this is the fastest consumer SSD on the market today HCR H

12
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:04,040
why do I keep tripping on things this is the fastest consumer SSD on the market

13
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:08,360
today hands down there's been a lot of hype around these drives and now it's

14
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:12,600
easy to understand why the Intel 750 series ssds post some seriously

15
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:17,680
ridiculous performance numbers thanks to Intel utilizing a controller based on

16
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:21,400
the NVM Express protocol which is designed to replace the ahci

17
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:26,479
architecture we've seen on SATA drives for a while now ahci was designed

18
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:31,400
predominantly for spinning Media or hard drives and vme has been developed

19
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:35,399
entirely for non volatile memory storage which means it doesn't have to deal with

20
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:40,759
the extra weight and the Legacy support built into ahci resulting in a more

21
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,840
streamlined command set which can be which can work beautifully in

22
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:47,640
parallelism which can benefit from Modern multi-core

23
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:51,880
CPUs but before we delve into the performance of these drives and the

24
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:56,039
impact that mvme has had of course we need to talk about the drive itself we

25
00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:00,360
only have the 2.5 in drive in office right now we may be getting a PCIe addin

26
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:03,360
card version for a special project that we have coming up soon so stay tuned and

27
00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:07,719
stay subscribed to the channel if you want to see all about that but it

28
00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:12,520
doesn't really matter because in terms of performance the addin card and the

29
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:17,519
2.5 in form factor drive both have the exact same components inside just with a

30
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:22,480
different physical appearance layout and obviously the connector but why did they

31
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:27,599
even create two versions of the same components more on that in just a

32
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:31,760
moment first the physical overview the front is fairly reminiscent of past

33
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:36,440
Intel Enthusiast ssds but here we noticed the first shift from gaming

34
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:40,920
performance to Data Center Performance the old skull logo has been replaced by

35
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,959
serial numbers and product specs when we turn the drive to its side you'll notice

36
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:49,440
a significant difference in thickness when compared to the previous

37
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:53,280
generations of Intel ssds it is not a

38
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,159
thin Drive By Any Means at 15 mm and

39
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,959
because of that it will not fit into many height restricted SSD mounts just

40
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:03,959
to heads up when we finally flip to the back of the drive we see one of the

41
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:08,480
reasons why this drive is so thick the massive badass looking heat sink no more

42
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:13,319
Super rough looking finish on the back of your Intel SSD last but not least we

43
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:17,040
have the 8639 connector which splits twice to receive power through a

44
00:03:14,799 --> 00:03:22,680
standard SATA interface and to send data through an sff

45
00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:24,920
8643 also known as mini SAS HD connector

46
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:29,840
which finally connects to a hyper kit from ASUS now the hyper kit is quite a

47
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:34,159
special little connector designed by as s which allows you to go from the mini

48
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:39,200
SAS HD connector into the hyperkit module then into an m.2 interface which

49
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:44,120
is able to fully connect to the PCIe Gen 3 Lanes all the way directly to the CPU

50
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:48,799
which is why it is able to offer the same amount of performance as the addin

51
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:54,120
card which is great because say you had an ITX x99 motherboard that was

52
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:59,560
compatible with the hyper kit you'd be able to have a powerful graphics card

53
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:02,360
and an NVMe Drive which is pretty sick

54
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:06,599
he a quick reminder this is using PCIe Lanes on your CPU which is great but

55
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,200
something you may want to take into account for certain setups possibly SLI

56
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,599
stuff things like that the drive will still be awesome if you have to connect

57
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:18,720
it through something like the PCH considering you ran out of lanes but if

58
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:23,000
you want the best possible performance you will want it to directly access the

59
00:04:20,359 --> 00:04:27,680
CPU through those PCIe lanes and with that all out of the way on to

60
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:32,039
benchmarking we put the Intel 750 series up against an Enthusiast grade Trad

61
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:38,400
traditional style if I can call it that SATA SSD the Samsung 850 Pro the 850 Pro

62
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:44,160
is well regarded as a high-end SSD and honestly it's pretty damn badass but man

63
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:48,120
it got absolutely destroyed by the Intel 750 series Drive first up we have

64
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:52,919
Crystal disc Mark which is the most important Benchmark in our suite by far

65
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:58,120
the reason for its importance is that Intel worked with a developers of Crystal dismark to ensure that the

66
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,000
program will be able to deploy multiple workers with the 750 series drives

67
00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:06,759
feeding directly into the CPU through the PCIe lanes you'll need a

68
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:09,479
benchmarking worker per CPU thread

69
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:14,000
including hyperthreads to fully utilize the drive as you can see the 750 killed

70
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:17,800
it getting five times faster sequential reads almost three times faster

71
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:23,400
sequential rights both running on one thread seven freaking times faster 4K

72
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:28,840
reads and a bit over four times faster 4K rights at 8 threads onto more

73
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,440
standard less optimized benchmarks we have the Intel drive with displayed

74
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,440
reads five times greater than that of the Samsung drive as well as right

75
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:41,600
speeds approximately 2 and 1/2 times greater than the Samsung Drive in addo

76
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:46,240
disk the Blackmagic disc speed test results were showed Intel having a read

77
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:50,680
speed of almost four times higher than its competitor and a right speed

78
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:55,840
approximately 2.4 times greater now it is important to keep in mind that all of

79
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:59,400
these tests are synthetic and different for various reasons and may not be

80
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:04,120
perfectly representative of real world sit situations we did attempt a few

81
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:09,240
standard wheel World SSD benchmarks but we ran into a fairly strange issue the

82
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,800
Intel Drive was simply too fast to produce meaningful results in our normal

83
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,440
real world test Suite as it was bottlenecks by other components in our

84
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,680
system in other real world benchmarks we have attempted this wasn't really a

85
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:26,199
problem and naturally we'll find ways to go around this but for now damn so I

86
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:30,479
guess that leads fairly well into our conclusion for this video this is a new

87
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,639
drive from Intel and it's ridiculously fast it is without a doubt the fastest

88
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:40,280
consumer grade SSD on the market today but that speed does come at a cost NVMe

89
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,880
is still very new to the consumer space and if you don't want to take up a PCI

90
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,199
slot on your motherboard the 2 and 5 in

91
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:52,199
drive with the hyperkit solution is the only currently officially supported by a

92
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,520
few motherboards we haven't even received word yet on whether other

93
00:06:53,800 --> 00:07:00,039
motherboard manufacturers will support this drive and even if they do we have

94
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:04,840
no clue when their Solutions will be available what do you guys think of NVMe
