Why is the Intel 750 Slow to boot?

[RLaBa1]

Howdy Everyone. Just picked up the Intel 750 1.2TB SSD card. Installed it on my X99 Asus Rampage V board and installed Windows 7 X64 without a problem. However, I am seeing a boot performance issue. This drive is taking about 25 seconds to boot, approximately 13 seconds longer than my Samsung 850 EVO. Did a little Googling on this and apparently, I am not the only one. I have read several reviews and the ones that measure boot time / performance will say this is the slowest SSD to boot. I have provided the link below as an example.

Intel - Is this going to be fixed in a future firmware release? I wont be able to justify keeping this card if first generation SSD's still outperform in terms of booting.

Thanks,

I've been checking every day for a driver update but no luck. In both Windows 7 and Windows 10 this Intel 750 PCIe 1.2TB that I have boots slower than even an HDD, let alone an SSD. This is the worst SSD I've ever owned and Intel isn't doing anything about it. The only thing it's good at is benchmarks, it flies in benchmarks, but I bought such a high end SSD to boot fast AND enjoy high performance, with this slow boot issue, this totally kills the enjoyment! Someone at Intel please do something about it! No firmware or driver updates for ages now....

Here is my review of this piece of trash SSD! I posted it on every forum to warn people not to buy this!

Sorry for you man..

I just bought another piece of Intel's SSD trash (535) and it also doesn't work properly.

Next time we will both know to not buy an Intel SSD.. Bad product with bad support.

I've used every SSD you can imagine and for now my only choice is the SanDisk Extreme PRO line. Yes they get lower score in benchmarks but have the highest performance consistency and actually feel snappier in Windows. My main OS Drive now is a 240GB SanDisk EXTREME PRO and I have two other 960GB SanDisk Extreme PRO SSDs for data storage..

I will never touch Samsung either again after being burned....why? Read the below please:

1) The popular 840 EVO slowdown issue on old files. Even though they did release a firmware that would fix this, they totally ignored the mSATA version and till this date there is no firmware update to fix it. My $500 USD that I spent on my 840 EVO 1TB mSATA is burned.

2) They released a firmware update for the 850 PRO a while back that actually crippled the performance and bricked 100s of SSDs so they quickly pulled that firmware down. Now I was one of the lucky ones as my SSD wasn't bricked but was updated to the 2nd firmware release but performance went down in every benchmark by 20%.

I was waiting and waiting for a third firmware update to fix this mess but nope, NADA! So I gave up and sold it. What's more embarrassing if you check their firmware update page until this date there is still no firmware update for the 850 PRO so all those people who did upgrade basically got burned.

Thus, my money will never go to this company who doesn't value its customers.

Ok, I guess you know better than me..

I'm still trying to replace this 535 SSD with a new one. .In the same budget.

Do you have any suggestions? (except for EVO 850).
