I'll ease it up for you: Sata Express is Dead. M.2 is the successor to mSATA U.2 is just M.2 with a cabled interface. Basically before we had mSATA for laptops and SATA for desktops. Now we have only M.2 going forward, desktops using the same interface as laptops. So you see it's less confusing...

Why is there a chip on the U.2 board? I don't see one on Asrock's nor Asus boards... EDIT: Seems to be a signal amplifier, guess it could be good for longer or cheaper cables... http://be.msi.com/product/mb/TURBO-U.2-HOST-CARD.html

Wow, that database performance is interesting! Could you please post a Atto benchmark run from this drive? Even at lower queue depths than the default of 4 would be interesting.

They differ in model numbers: MZVPV512HDGL-00000 = NVMe MZHPV512HDGL-00000 = AHCI

Ok, I did not mean to come off as _that_ offensive and sorry if I did, it was not meant as a personal insult, even I see how it could be read at such. I've just always been really pissed that if someone shows a nipple on TV or such the world is going to end and all hell breaks loose, but to show...

Really fun review, loved the scope shots :) And to all whining about minors seeing this, do some parenting and put them infront of the TV where they can see something less disturbing like someones brains being shot all over a wall.

Hope this is true: http://www.thessdreview.com/daily-news/latest-buzz/samsung-sm951-pcie-3-0-m-2-ssd-in-mass-production "Samsung will have the SM951 available in different SKU’s for those who need the AHCI interfaces and another for those who need NVMe support."

Yea it was supposed to be NVMe, but reading the press release makes one wonder if they dropped it? http://www.anandtech.com/show/8236/samsung-ssd-global-summit-2014-845-dc-pro-with-vnand-sm951-with-nvme-support

Thanks for the input. Haha, yea that Xeon is cheap, but then again it's also less than half of the clockspeed of the 5820k ;)

As the discussion is a bit around ECC memory I'll throw this in hoping someone knows. I'm considering to buy a X99 mobo along with a 5820k now. And then down the road when these processors come down in price have a nice upgrade path. For example right now you can find the LGA1366 six core Xeon...

Yea I'm eyeing these. I'm considering to buy a X99 mobo along with a 5820k now. And then down the road when these processors come down in price have a nice upgrade path. For example right now you can find the LGA1366 six core Xeon 5650 for around €65 on eBay, that's a fantastic bargain! My only...

This might be of interest to someone: The PCI Vendor & Device listed on my Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 mainboard for the Killer NIC is: PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_E091&SUBSYS_E0001458 Looking in the driver INF there is one device which is almost a perfect match, on line 950 in driver v2.1.0.21 for Win7...

Warranty is 5 years vs 3 Spindle speed is 7200rpm vs 5400 This last point I'm not qualified to say for certain, but I think it's just marketing bullshit to make the numbers look better when infact they are the same? Non-Recoverable Read Errors per Bits Read: <1 in 10^14 WD Red <10 in 10^15 WD...

Hmm, thanks but no thanks... 12990 SEK = 1973 USD http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/datorkomponenter/197949-powercolor_radeon_r9_295x2_8gb&atcl=external:ref

I'd love a "jump to forum mode" from the news comments view
