SSD 750 PCI-E & X79.

[idata]

Good evening! I have a question concerning support for SSD 750 PCI-Ex motherboard chipset X79. Not so long ago I was thinking about buying this card (SATA - is not seen as outdated and resembles an echo IDE), as the current software requires a radical solution for speed and other things, but Googling forums, I realized that X79 motherboards are not included in the support this device and work as a boot device it will not be (((. The question is - the X99 chipset so different from the X79? built-in support USB3?

Frankly speaking I do not feel the need to go to the X79 X99 for a few% performance increase. What is the problem that the literary manager for chipsets only support 9* Series? It is not the desire to Intel or me (us PC users) should apply to the producers of our boards requesting the release of UEFI-BIOS with support NVMe and drives them? Or is it some kind of hardware problem?

Hello XORROR,

There are many factors to consider when comparing performance values between SSDs. I am not entirely sure I understood your question, but here are some pointers about this topic:

- The Intel® SSD DC P3700 Series is a Data Center driver, meant to be used in Enterprise systems, it has additional hardware components for enhanced reliability and performance. The Intel® SSD 750 Series is considered a consumer device and does not have some of the features provided by the P3700. In most situations the P3700 will perform better than the 750 series.

- When you compare performance, always compare similar values, for example:

Sequential test results are measured in MB/s (Megabytes per second), Random test results are expressed in IOPS (Input-output operations per second).

Sequential tests normally use 128 KB transfer size, Random tests use 4 KB or 8 KB transfer size.

Drives of the same family but with different capacity will normally have different performance ratings.

You will find a lot of useful information in the following document as it explains the benchmarking principles and how it can be measured:

You can check performance data for the drives in the product specifications: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-specifications/ssd-dc-p3700-spec...

Huge thank you Jonathan! I will read at your leisure!

The main question was why so much different speed/read (MB/s) and writing large files. As I understand from your answer in case additional hardware.

Hello Jonathan!

I have a question about can intel750 be installed in HP360G7?

Thanks

HP added NVMe support only with Gen9 of their server platforms.

I just want to store my mariadb database in intel 750.

Can i do such like this:mount /var/lib/mysql ?
