Any opinions as to which drive is preferred? Both seem to be well matched in terms of performance.

Boot times are alot slower with the Intel drive. I got tired of it after a while and got the 950 instead.

I'm just a bit put off by the heat with the Samsung drive, but I was thinking of using that Angelbird heat sink with it. That would solve the heat problem, but wouldn't that still cause slow boot times in a PCIe slot instead of the M.2 slot?

With my Intel 750, my total boot time to Windows login is about 33 seconds on pre-3000 bios, 40 seconds on 3101. That's on a cold boot, restart seems to take about half the time. Slow for an SSD, but not horribly so, and I never have any temp issues with it. Just figured I'd supply some numbers instead of a vague "slow".

Yea. I'm wondering if the Samsung drive will still behave the same since it will be in a PCIE slot.

There is no speed decrease using the Angelbird adapter. I plan on using one myself when I get the 950 Pro. Waiting on the new Rampage V board before I order though.

Wonder why the Intel drives are so slow on boot then compared to Samsung's 950 while connected to a PCIe slot?

Something about initialization and error correcting for server platform use, as the Intel 750 is designed for both. I'll post the link where I asked about this on Intel forums when I get home in a few hours.
