Intel 750 Series HHHL (CEM2.0) 1.2TB PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEDMW012T4R5
- HHHL (CEM2.0)
- 1.2TB
- PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4
Intel is leading the transition from SATA* to PCIe* with the Intel® SSD 750 Series targeted at PC Enthusiasts and Workstation users. PCIe represents the future of the computing storage interface offering vast improvements in raw throughput performance and latency reduction.
This means:
- Immersive experience for entertainment like gaming
- Increased efficiency for engineering workloads
- Design and build richer content with larger data sets, textures, and assets
- Experience Ultra HD video creation and high-resolution imaging
- Overcome barriers to take us places we could never go before
Intel Storage Leadership
Delivering a product with no compromises means no shortcuts. Rather than taking the easy path and accept the burden of an AHCI* interface with commands that were designed with spinning media in mind. Intel chose the high performance solution, NVMe*. Intel has broken down the barriers to bring NVMe storage to the client by enabling the ecosystem for a bootable, easy to use, plug-&-play solution. This means SSDs and platforms that just work together, products you can trust.
Uncompromised Performance
Delivering the full performance potential offered with four lanes of PCIe 3.0 today requires real horsepower without compromise on form factor. This means delivering a product with the thermal dissipation capabilities that allow the controller and the media to really stretch their legs, as well as providing the required space for the storage media to accommodate large capacites. The Intel® SSD 750 Series makes no compromises. It simply delivers raw storage performance and capacity for customers that only accept the best!

Pros: I've measured the performance using both gnome-disks and sys_basher and it meets the promised read bandwidth of 2200MBytes/Second and exceeds the promised write bandwidth, I measured a write speed of 1100MB/Sec vs a promised speed of 900. Fedora 22 boots in a few seconds on a Haswell iCore7 system and applications launch instantly.
Cons: NVME is new and as such it isn't supported by all utilities and BIOSes. On Linux, gnome-disks and parted support NVME as do the installers for Fedora 22 and Scientific Linux 7.1 (RHEL 7.1 clone). My favourite partition tool, gparted, does not support NVME so it was unable to see this drive. I also had to update the BIOS on my Gigabyte Motherboard in order to boot from this Intel SSD. The June 2014 BIOS that was on the motherboard did not see the SSD, however when I updated the BIOS to the most recent release (June 2015) it handled it fine.
Overall Review: For server applications this is the SSD of choice however for desktop use I think SATA SSDs are a better choice. Although this SSD has 4X the read bandwidth of an SATA SSD the difference isn't noticeable in either boot times or in application launching times. SATA SSDs are completely compatible with all modern BIOSes and with all disk utilities, they are also cheaper. Before you buy this SATA check when the most recent BIOS for your motherboard was released, if it's sometime in 2015 then chances are you will be able to boot from this Intel SSD, if it's older then you should definitely choose an SATA SSD instead.
