00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:09.760
there are loads of rumors going around that lonus has a very very fast car but

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:12.920
I actually have a very very fast SSD so

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:14.679
I've got that going for me which is nice

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:22.960
stay subscribed to lonus Tech tips for more videos on very very fast

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:31.279
things the corsera HX 1200i power supply

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

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:44.079
kick this off with a statement you won't often hear me repeating unless you've

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:50.120
seen all the takes for this shot this is the fastest consumer SSD on the market

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:52.480
this is the fastest consumer SSD on the

00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:58.960
market today this is the fastest consumer SSD on the market today HCR H

00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:04.040
why do I keep tripping on things this is the fastest consumer SSD on the market

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

00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:12.600
easy to understand why the Intel 750 series ssds post some seriously

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:17.680
ridiculous performance numbers thanks to Intel utilizing a controller based on

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.400
the NVM Express protocol which is designed to replace the ahci

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:26.479
architecture we've seen on SATA drives for a while now ahci was designed

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:31.400
predominantly for spinning Media or hard drives and vme has been developed

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:35.399
entirely for non volatile memory storage which means it doesn't have to deal with

00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:40.759
the extra weight and the Legacy support built into ahci resulting in a more

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:43.840
streamlined command set which can be which can work beautifully in

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:47.640
parallelism which can benefit from Modern multi-core

00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:51.880
CPUs but before we delve into the performance of these drives and the

00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:56.039
impact that mvme has had of course we need to talk about the drive itself we

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

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:03.360
card version for a special project that we have coming up soon so stay tuned and

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.719
stay subscribed to the channel if you want to see all about that but it

00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:12.520
doesn't really matter because in terms of performance the addin card and the

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:17.519
2.5 in form factor drive both have the exact same components inside just with a

00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:22.480
different physical appearance layout and obviously the connector but why did they

00:02:20.040 --> 00:02:27.599
even create two versions of the same components more on that in just a

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:31.760
moment first the physical overview the front is fairly reminiscent of past

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:36.440
Intel Enthusiast ssds but here we noticed the first shift from gaming

00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:40.920
performance to Data Center Performance the old skull logo has been replaced by

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:44.959
serial numbers and product specs when we turn the drive to its side you'll notice

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:49.440
a significant difference in thickness when compared to the previous

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.280
generations of Intel ssds it is not a

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:55.159
thin Drive By Any Means at 15 mm and

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:59.959
because of that it will not fit into many height restricted SSD mounts just

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

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:08.480
reasons why this drive is so thick the massive badass looking heat sink no more

00:03:06.760 --> 00:03:13.319
Super rough looking finish on the back of your Intel SSD last but not least we

00:03:10.640 --> 00:03:17.040
have the 8639 connector which splits twice to receive power through a

00:03:14.799 --> 00:03:22.680
standard SATA interface and to send data through an sff

00:03:18.920 --> 00:03:24.920
8643 also known as mini SAS HD connector

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:29.840
which finally connects to a hyper kit from ASUS now the hyper kit is quite a

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:34.159
special little connector designed by as s which allows you to go from the mini

00:03:31.799 --> 00:03:39.200
SAS HD connector into the hyperkit module then into an m.2 interface which

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

00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:48.799
which is why it is able to offer the same amount of performance as the addin

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:54.120
card which is great because say you had an ITX x99 motherboard that was

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:59.560
compatible with the hyper kit you'd be able to have a powerful graphics card

00:03:56.239 --> 00:04:02.360
and an NVMe Drive which is pretty sick

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:06.599
he a quick reminder this is using PCIe Lanes on your CPU which is great but

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:11.200
something you may want to take into account for certain setups possibly SLI

00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.599
stuff things like that the drive will still be awesome if you have to connect

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:18.720
it through something like the PCH considering you ran out of lanes but if

00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:23.000
you want the best possible performance you will want it to directly access the

00:04:20.359 --> 00:04:27.680
CPU through those PCIe lanes and with that all out of the way on to

00:04:24.840 --> 00:04:32.039
benchmarking we put the Intel 750 series up against an Enthusiast grade Trad

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

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

00:04:41.320 --> 00:04:48.120
it got absolutely destroyed by the Intel 750 series Drive first up we have

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:52.919
Crystal disc Mark which is the most important Benchmark in our suite by far

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

00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:02.000
program will be able to deploy multiple workers with the 750 series drives

00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:06.759
feeding directly into the CPU through the PCIe lanes you'll need a

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.479
benchmarking worker per CPU thread

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:14.000
including hyperthreads to fully utilize the drive as you can see the 750 killed

00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:17.800
it getting five times faster sequential reads almost three times faster

00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:23.400
sequential rights both running on one thread seven freaking times faster 4K

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:28.840
reads and a bit over four times faster 4K rights at 8 threads onto more

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:32.440
standard less optimized benchmarks we have the Intel drive with displayed

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:36.440
reads five times greater than that of the Samsung drive as well as right

00:05:34.479 --> 00:05:41.600
speeds approximately 2 and 1/2 times greater than the Samsung Drive in addo

00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:46.240
disk the Blackmagic disc speed test results were showed Intel having a read

00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:50.680
speed of almost four times higher than its competitor and a right speed

00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:55.840
approximately 2.4 times greater now it is important to keep in mind that all of

00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:59.400
these tests are synthetic and different for various reasons and may not be

00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:04.120
perfectly representative of real world sit situations we did attempt a few

00:06:01.840 --> 00:06:09.240
standard wheel World SSD benchmarks but we ran into a fairly strange issue the

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:12.800
Intel Drive was simply too fast to produce meaningful results in our normal

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:17.440
real world test Suite as it was bottlenecks by other components in our

00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:20.680
system in other real world benchmarks we have attempted this wasn't really a

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

00:06:24.479 --> 00:06:30.479
guess that leads fairly well into our conclusion for this video this is a new

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.639
drive from Intel and it's ridiculously fast it is without a doubt the fastest

00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:40.280
consumer grade SSD on the market today but that speed does come at a cost NVMe

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

00:06:41.880 --> 00:06:47.199
slot on your motherboard the 2 and 5 in

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:52.199
drive with the hyperkit solution is the only currently officially supported by a

00:06:49.960 --> 00:06:55.520
few motherboards we haven't even received word yet on whether other

00:06:53.800 --> 00:07:00.039
motherboard manufacturers will support this drive and even if they do we have

00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:04.840
no clue when their Solutions will be available what do you guys think of NVMe
