The problem is you are going outside the realm of a home consumer with these good ideas. Even 10GB ether net can be covered by a regular ssd... I'm mean that's what 100MB? Nothing for a single sata 6Gbps ssd.
OOof... coffee..... thanks.
What about one to many? A good use case could be one server booting dozens or even hundreds of clients over the network. DIY supercomputer setups come to mind...
I agree with that reasoning, but that isn't happening at your house unless you have a HUGE test homelab and you are doing a lot of VMs/etc.
I guess I should have specified in the previous reply, when I thought of a file server it was basically just hosting random files. If we are talking about a file server hosting VMs/workstations then I could see more benefit to the faster access times and top speeds.
Yep.. plenty of Enterprise level reasons... not so much on legitimate home uses outside of just how cool it would be to have one.
Neckbeard = exception to every rule. He does not count.
I don't have a single delay with my Intel 750 when booting on X99. With my Samsung 830 Evo, I was having some pretty big delays when a lot of programs were running, and this Intel is insanely fast in comparison. Synthetic numbers are fast, but it doesn't show how much of an upgrade it actually is.I was going to get the intel 750 NVME drive myself, but what stopped me is:
1) It has a prolonged initialization/enum boot process that adds 25 seconds to boot time. Samsungs nvme drive does not suffer same.
2) Much typical desktop use is QD1-2 random small file read and write. Intel 750 NVME/Samsung nvme has near same QD1 4k random read/write speed as Samsung 850 evo/pro, sandisk extreme pro, etc. While it will speed file transfer and installing OS a small amount by handling larger file transfers quicker, it simply wont be that much faster because there is only so much parallelism at small 4k size, hence bottlenecked like all other SSD by small file random read/write. Until you get into the server environment, ie higher QD. When tested for loading games, files, apps etc, it is no faster than high end sata III SSD's.
3) Since it isnt that expensive, I would buy it in the future if they resolved the long initialization/enum boot time, since I like intels reliability, and it is fastest SSD out, but still would realize it just isnt that much faster for desktop use, except for a few things.

If you only use your computer for internet browsing and email, don't get it. But if you do tasks that require a lot of I/O (programming, virtual machines, etc), it is a big upgrade.
I can test it later; shoot me a private message if I forget, I'm fairly busy today.What is your restart time, ie hit restart until desktop reappears? And time from off until desktop appears?
On my 4790k platform it was 22 seconds restart and about 15 seconds cold start. On the asrock x99 ext 6 it was 44 seconds restart, 25 cold start (sent back for bugs), on my msi x99A krait it is 38 seconds restart/ 22 seconds cold start.
When intel 750 first came out, all review sites were showing slow boot, and intel chimed in it was the initializ, maybe they improved it....if so, will get 400 gb version myself.
And thanks for the first hand experience, review sites dont really give much user experience info.
I haven't tested yet, but 20 seconds for Windows 10 (what I'm running) sounds long, let alone 44 seconds.no problem.....actually after reading your experience with it, I was reading back through boot issues and intel stated boot times would be improved on firmware upgrades, so decided to go ahead and get it. Been back and forth on it since it came out. Also just realized on forum/thread that people test boot times, 44 seconds on windows 10 is norm for restart, and half that 20 seconds is norm for win 7/8.
Just did a few restarts for you. 45 seconds from the desktop, back to the login screen, most of which is shutdown and POST. When fully powered off to the login screen, 30 seconds. When in the BIOS and selecting the boot device, less than 15 seconds.What is your restart time, ie hit restart until desktop reappears? And time from off until desktop appears?
