HDTach
HD Tach will test the sequential read, random access and interface burst speeds of your attached storage device (hard drive, flash drive, removable drive, etc). All drive technologies such as SCSI, IDE/ATA, 1394, USB, SATA and RAID are supported. Test results from HD Tach can be used to confirm manufacturer specs, analyze your system for proper performance, and compare your performance with others. HD Tach is very easy to use, quick, and presents data in easy to read graphs, including the ability to compare two storage devices on screen at the same time for easy analysis.
Bursts are provided only for your review. SSD's don't cache the same way HDD's do (in many cases they don't cache reads at all), so burst testing typically results in figures that are lower than the sequential throughput figures, regardless of controller used.
Having said that, the NVMe interface is showing extremely low latencies – to the point that the indicated burst speed is actually very close to the max read speed of the DC P3700.
HDTach feeds the tested drive a continuous string of small sequential requests. This is a single threaded operation, which means the SSD doesn't get to see what's coming next. The lower the QD=1 latency of the controller pipeline, the better the numbers we see from this test. It doesn't equate to real-world maximum throughput, but it does mean something for analysis, which is why we include these results. Here we can see how the various controllers handle this type of workload, with slight variances in the way those different controllers handle QD=1 sequential IO streams.
While the OCZ R4 used SandForce controllers, known for relatively high pipeline latency (and therefore low results in a QD=1 test), the Intel DC P3700 appears to be the polar opposite. Barring RAMDrive results, these are the highest figures I've ever seen HDTach turn out. Clearly this new device, and the use of the NVMe interface, is doing a lot of good, even in those tests that typically show weaknesses in SSDs.
Thank you. I never that on
Thank you. I never that on intels site. Now I have plenty on time to save up for it. $600.00 yippee.
These are meant for
These are meant for enterprise. For those asking about a desktop get real. This is for business application use such as VDI or DB, not gaming and booting. Do you not get it really, $6k this is way more than your desktop.
$6k for a 2TB. You are
$6k for a 2TB. You are getting overkill if you get this for a desktop plain and simple.

I have been having problems
I have been having problems with the P3700 being compatible with 2 of my asus boards a Maximus Extreme VI and a Z97 Deluxe, I cant get them to work with the P3700 no matter what I do. It works just fine with my ASRock Extreme 11 a/c but not my ASUS boards. I notice that you used an ASUS board for your review and was wondering if you had any compatibility issues that you had to deal with?
Did you check to see if there
Did you check to see if there is a BIO’s update for Asus boards?
Will there be a review for
Will there be a review for the P3600? Would be interesting to see how that and the 3700 compare..
I got curious…
What if,
I got curious…
What if, theoretically, I’d hook p3500 on four lanes but not PCIe gen3 but gen2?
(that as I unhesitant is twice slower)
Would drive work? (maybe there are some issues)
What about bottle-necks? (in theory)
This is a very interesting product!

How many volumes contains
How many volumes contains that device? It’s one 800 Gb volume or something like intel 910 series – 4x200Gb?
