Know before you buy
This drive requires a desktop motherboard with an available PCIe slot. Because it uses the PCIe interface rather than a standard SATA connection, ensure your system BIOS supports booting from NVMe devices if you intend to use this as your primary operating system drive.
The Intel 750 Series comes in an Add-In Card (AIC) form factor. It installs directly into a PCIe expansion slot on your motherboard, similar to how you would install a dedicated graphics card.
400GB is a solid capacity for a high-performance boot drive. It provides plenty of space for your operating system and several demanding applications or games, though you may want to pair it with a larger secondary hard drive for bulk file storage.
The PCIe interface allows the drive to bypass the limitations of older storage connections, resulting in significantly faster data transfer speeds. This translates to quicker system boot times, shorter game load screens, and snappier performance when working with large files.
In most modern operating systems like Windows 10 or 11, the drive is plug-and-play and will be recognized automatically. However, for optimal performance and management, it is recommended to install the latest Intel NVMe drivers from the manufacturer's support site.
