The Intel SSD 760p uses 3D TLC NAND paired with a Silicon Motion SM2262 controller to deliver great performance at reasonable pricing. Our reviewed 512 GB version currently costs $153, which is cheaper than many competitors.

Benchmark Scores Yes I am Intel fanboy that is my benchmark score.
Picked up mine for $129.99 after my 600p started to crash system less then a year after purchase. Intel left us stranded with 600p with no firmware updates. I hope they can do better this time around.

After fiasco with 600p, I am surprised 760p still cannot maintain sustained writes while underperforming candidates from Samsung.

"We see the drive run at full write speed until only 4 GB have been written before performance drops to around 600 MB/s. " -W1zzard.

For anyone in the States and has a Micro Center near by, they have the 256GB model for $65. Occasionally RetailMeNot has a $5 in-store coupon to knock it down to $60.

$82 for 256GB model is tempting. Decent performance but nowhere as consistent as Samsung's new 970 Series SSDs, which is to be expected. As a daily driver, its good money.

The PCB design is better stacking DRAM besides and cooling/shield copper plane isn't overwhelmed as in the SX8200.

The strange thing is the controller. Intel seems has it overclocked or the NAND is needs to be driven harder. The temperature modes in FLIR pictures are very contrasting in in between those two reviews, despite the chip is the same... at least most probably.

I wish W1z would use a PCIE adapter and mod it with current meters, to measure the real consumption during various tasks. It could clear up few things, also could be very important for mobile users.

There is no copper, it's just a plastic sticker

It is at least four or six layer PCB, the copper plane is one of the PCB layers. Design principles dictate to route hot areas in specific manner, also adding more vias to PCB to gain more copper. For example look at the PCB behind the south bridge or GPU, you will see distinctive rectangle with tiny holes, so it ads more copper density and heat transfers evenly across the board, not causing heat build up. So imagine a sandwich in case of the ADATA drive. That's a mature design team vs immature.

Ah, I thought you were talking about the sticker having copper in it. All the vias on the back are for placement of two more flash chips on the higher capacity drives. I doubt they make any difference for thermals. The hot spot on ADATA is hotter because they have only one DRAM chip, while Intel has two.

Doesn't it have two? :confused: Your pictures have one on back and one on front side. Thus why the sandwich reference.

You are right, guess for DRAM placement the Intel design is a bit smarter. Still, performance and price differences are big enough to make the ADATA SX8200 the better choice

All these tests show, that custom SM2262 is much worse than that sitting on the SX8200.
SX8200 480GB costs 115eur
Intel SSD at 153USD would translate to about 150Eur here, so it is by far much worse than ADATA ir pretty much all areas.

760p got a new firmware 004C, could spoil all the job. The test had the 001C.
