    [News] Intel to Offer Affordable 600p NVMe SSDs

    http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/int...nvme-ssds.html

    Granted, you do need a compatible motherboard, but NVMe SSDs are as far as I am concerned incredibly intersting if you want enthusiast grade SSD performance. Up-to this moment a little bit pricy.

    Intel is trying to change that as they will release a 'budget' version of the new 600p series NVMe protocol based M2 SSDs. The 600p series will be fitted with 3D NAND Tri-Level Cell (TLC) flash storage and will be offered on the 80mm single-sided M.2 form factor that connects to an NVMe compatible / PCIe 3.0 (x4) slot. Intel will release capacities of 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB.

    Much like price per GB the sequential read/write and random read/write speeds vary between all models, with sequential reads ranging from 770MB/s to 1,800MB/s, and sequential writes spanning 450MB/s to 560MB/s. The random reads are between 35,000 IOPS and 155,000 IOPS, and the random writes are between 91,000 IOPS and 128,000 IOPS.

    ?Designed for a range of devices from desktops to laptops, the Intel SSD 600p Series will effortlessly manage demanding consumer client applications and easily handle intense multi-tasking,? the company said on Thursday. ?The SSD 600p Series will take PCs to a new level of responsiveness with fast application launches and file loading.?

    and now we know why crucial canned their nvme drive. this uses micron looking part number on the nand in the newegg listing

    it also has the smi 4x3.0 controller, and AFIK they only have one of those.

    edit, it looks like the reference pcb, and it is not confirmed

    the adata SX8000NP (the other nvme m.2 that used the smi controller) is MIA and was supposed to launch in june.

    The price is very nice and Read speed is good but write is kinda low. I guess you have to give some to save some cash.

    SM961 around $500 vs $360 3000/1900 MB/s vs. 1800/550 MB/s makes for a tough choice

    I guess OCZ will be a hard sell once Intel and Samsung ramp up availability on the 1TB models
    i7 6700K @4.8 ghz
    XSPC RayStorm (very nice block)
    Z170 Sabertooh ,, 32GB- Gskill (15-15-15-36 @3600 mhz) 1:1
    XFX-7970 with Swiftech Komodo nickel block
    Water Cooling - MO-RA3 Pro with 4 Silverstone 180mm @ 700 rpm, Twin Vario mcp-655 pumps
    Samsung 850-1TB SSD,, OCZ ZX-1250W (powerfull and silent)
    Crossfire 30" decent monitor for IPS too bad SED tech died

    Most importantly PCIE 2.0 has more than enough bandwidth to run these at full speed.

    Yes, you can run them as bootable drives on Asus PCIe 3.0 gen mobos.
