Intel® Solid State Drive 750 Series
1 Overview
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Solid State Drive 750 Series
(Intel® SSD 750 Series).
The Intel SSD 750 Series is Intel’s first PCIe® Gen3 x4 SSD developed for the client enthusiast and workstation
markets. The Intel SSD 750 Series is architected with the new high performance controller interface - Non-Volatile
Memory Express™ (NVMe™) - delivering outstanding performance, low latency and Quality of Service. NVMe is a
standardized interface that enables higher performance and lower latency than previous generations. The Intel
SSD 750 Series offers capacities of 400GB, 800GB, and 1.2TB in Add-In card and 2.5-inch U.2 (formerly known as
SFF-8639) form factors.
The Intel SSD 750 Series is Intel’s highest performing client drive specifically designed for the PC enthusiast and
workstation systems with demanding storage workstation requirements. With PCIe Gen3 x4 support and NVMe
queuing interface, the Intel SSD 750 Series delivers excellent sequential read performance of up to 2.5GB/s and
sequential write speeds of up to 1.2 GB/s. The Intel SSD 750 Series delivers random read IOPS of up to 460K and
random write IOPS of up to 290K for 4KB operations. Also, by taking advantage of the direct path from the storage
to the CPU by means of NVMe, the Intel SSD 750 Series exhibits low latency of less than 20 μs for sequential access
to the SSD.
Intel SSD 750 Series includes these key features:
PCIe Gen3 x4 with NVMe interface
Consistently Higher IOPS and throughput
Sustained low latency
Enhanced power-loss data protection

2.1 Capacity
Table 3: User Addressable Sectors
NOTES:
1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes
LBA count shown represents total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the life of the drive.
The total usable capacity of the SSD may be less than the total physical capacity because a small portion
of the capacity is used for NAND media management and maintenance. IDEMA or JEDEC standard is used.
2.2 Performance
Table 4: Performance1
NOTES:
1. Performance measured by Intel using IOMeter* on Intel provided NVMe driver with Queue Depth 128 (QD=32,
workers=4). Measurements are performed on a contiguous 8GB span of the drive on a full SSD. Power mode
set at 25W. Drive is unpartitioned.
2. 4KB = 4,096 bytes
3. Performance measured by Intel using IOMeter* with 128 KB (131,072 bytes) of transfer size with Queue
1. Device measured by Intel using IOMeter*. Latency measured using 4 KB (4,096 bytes) transfer size with Queue Depth
equal to 1 using Windows 8.1 driver. Power mode set at 25W.
2. Assumes clean shutdown. Time to complete first I/O from complete power off state.
3. Time to complete first I/O after start of NVMe Controller Reset.
2.3 Electrical Characteristics
Table 6: Operating Voltage
NOTES:
1. Fall time needs to be equal or better than minimum in order to guarantee full functionality of enhanced power loss
management. Intel makes no claims on the success rate of its power loss protection feature. The power loss feature
does not provide 100 percent protection on all power loss scenarios.
2. The drive must be powered off for at least 500msec before powering on.
