So my Test Bench sits a foot to my right and many have asked about the heat
created with such a powerful storage solution. After all, there was once a
time when we were testing a full size enterprise solution and having to
provide additional cooling measures for 2/3 this performance. What can I
say; I feel absolutely no additional heat in testing or typical use of the
Samsung SM951 RAID 0 setup. Am I sensitive to heat? I can feel the heat
permeating from my 50″ plasma five feet to my right. There is no
significant heat increase noticed.
This combination is amazing. It can only be accomplished with the ASRock
X99 Extreme 11 as this board has two ‘Ultra M.2’ slots capable of PCIe 3.0
X4. They are leaps and bounds ahead of every other motherboard
manufacturer out there and their decision to push storage boundaries has
paid leaps and bounds!

It is also only possible with two Samsung SM951 M.2 SSDs. The Samsung SM951
is the fastest and smallest storage solution in the world right now but don
’t hold your breath; Computex 2015 is only days away and there will be many
announcements.

It is becoming evident that we are seeing storage move into the realm of the
CPU and DRAM memory, although we are not there just yet. Just how
important this is needs to be examined through the need of the user. Will a
typical user experience any difference whatsoever between this and any
other SSD? No, they will not. Will there be enthusiasts who snag this just
because? Absolutely. The key demographic for this solution lies in the
media professional first and foremost, an occupation where time is money and
the quicker a project is completed, the higher the efficiency and better
the return…or time away who knows right?
One thing is for sure though and that is the need for such performance as we
move to higher caliber media such as 4K and eventually 8K video. 4K video
alone requires 1.4GB/s data transfer speeds to effectively manipulate and
this doubles that, with a 1TB storage space. As much as we’d like to
credit Samsung for their newest SM951, both Samsung and ASRock deserve kudos
for hitting a home run with this combination! | s********a
