![]() ![]() Then we have the smaller of the two which is a 2.5″ form-factor drive that connects to a PCI-E slot via an SF-8643 PCI-E cable and has 400 Gigabytes of user accessible memory. This is the larger and faster of the two offerings and it comes with 1.2 terabytes of user accessible memory. First up we have a workstation oriented half-height, half-length PCI-E board with a half-height bracket on it (a full size bracket is included in the box). Intel is launching two SSDs to cater to two different form-factors. Enough infact for eight lane PCI-E 3.0 connections to four graphics cards and a four lane connection to one of these SSDs. The use of these new SDDs also, according to Intel, will not compromise the performance of multi-GPU setups due to the copious number of PCI-E lanes present on its Haswell-E. This connection completely bypasses Intel’s platform controller hub (south bridge) and its DMI bus which uses four lanes of PCI-E 2.0 for traditional storage devices. When plugged into the X99 platform Intel’s new 750 Series SSDs have a direct four link wide PCI-E 3.0 connection to the CPU. The first NVMe devices launched back in 2012 but with the advent of PCI-E 3.0 and Intel’s high-end client platform X99 the company has seen fit to revisit their implementation of NVMe. For those of you that are unfamiliar with NVMe or Non-Volatile Memory Express its a specification for accessing SSDs over the PCI-E bus. ![]() Both of these offerings are PCI-E SSDs that take advantage of the NVMe standard. Today Intel is launching a pair of new SSDs as it’s 750 series of drives. ![]()
