Maybe not necessary, but very much appreciated.

That makes no sense. If anything you should watercool it during winter to better remove the heat from the GPU so you can get the benefit of the removed heat in your house.

Wauw, that's a massive price tag on that chiller. What a shame.

It's funny how some of you guys still think Intel made Haswell with desktops in mind. This is a CPU architecture made for mobile. It's quite sufficient for desktops in every regard. Yes, it might not outperform IB by much, and it might run a bit hotter, but in a laptop, there is nothing that...

Any word on compatability with current S2011 serverboards? BIOS update enough?

Unless your power delivery is VERY unreliable, I doubt you'd require a 100% overprovisioning to avoid running out of usable cells. Remember, it only writes the DRAM contents whenever power is lost.

Why would I want my bike lights on when I'm not riding the bike? Use the power to charge my gadget with the full 3w's of power even when I don't ride at the otherwise required speed (20 kmh)

amdfreakIt is too expensive for the performance it offers. You can get a RAID array of many Intel SSDs beating Toshiba in every segment. You've clearly not understood the purpose of this article. Stick to commenting the desktop drive reviews in the future, please. Thank you for this review...

KyuuketsukiYou won't be seeing anything from this until 2020 or later, if ever, so... I think you might have a bad case of "inability to understand internet sarcasm"!

First off it's Gb not GB and it's the bandwidth of the SAS interface per port, and there are usually 4 ports per physical connector on these kinds of controllers.

Those IOPS numbers must be almost completely out of cache. I don't see a 2.5" 15k drive delivering more than 500 IOPS tops, let alone the 30000+ the article claims.

Lutfijhmmm - after reading this i'm definitely going to wait out for lower priced SSD's that have a good life expectancy. What? You make no sense whatsoever. After reading about an updated piece of software for monitoring and performing maintenance on an SSD, you're going to wait for cheaper...

randomizerI don't see how anyone can be surprised when Chrome gets prominently advertised on Google's home page. Firefox doesn't receive this exposure; its market share increased because tech heads discovered that there was a world outside of IE. Now the masses are discovering the same thing...

Vant, this isn't a review, it's the specs as reported by the company producing the drives. As always, they will report the specs that sounds best, and TH can do little but forward the information.

fozzyfozborne your post is quite flawed. First, eco drives do not spin down. They're running at a constant 5400 RPM. Second, this unit probably only has 1 controller. This controller offers possibilities beyond what would make sense with in a controller with only 2 sata connections, ie raid-5...
