In testing the 400GB Intel 750 Series SSD model it turns out that Windows boot time about 14.5 seconds and Hibernation resume time averaged 13.6 seconds. The UEFI’s POST times averaged 7 seconds for both Hibernation and Boot. In comparison the average POST time for both the Samsung SM951 NVMe and the Samsung 850 Pro was about 2.6-2.8 seconds. Windows load time for each was about 3-3.5 seconds.
While the overall boot time is still pretty fast with the Intel 750, at around 20-25, when compared to the 6-10 second boot times we are used to with other drives, it is pretty disappointing. As this is an SSD that is targeted more towards the workstation crowd where systems have multiple HBAs attached and there isn’t much concern about a few extra seconds for boot times when workflow speed is king, for them at least.
Next, let’s go over compatibility. If you have read our review on the NVMe SM951 you would have seen that we encountered compatibility issues getting the SSD to run at full speed in our X99 test bench and thus we were only able to get the rated performance of it in our ASRock Z97 Extreme6 motherboard. The Intel 750 on the other hand ran fine in both systems. This, however, doesn’t mean that it will function at full speed or boot in your system. Intel states that you need an UEFI version 2.3.1 or later to boot from it, which is usually in Z97 and X99 motherboards and newer. In older systems it may only be usable as secondary storage (X79, X58, Z87, Z77 etc), therefore, if you are considering this SSD we would advise on asking your motherboard manufacturer about support for it first.
