GSKILL Phoenix Blade 480GB PCIe SSD Review

We'll be testing the GSKILL Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD today. Let me just quickly throw some numbers at you that will get a smile on your face, so how does 2,000 MB/s maximum read and write performance sound? Yes Sir, or 245K IOPS? That's the kind of performance GSKILL offers to the performance aficionados in the year 2014.

Well, it might be fast, but this is 4 x Samsung 840 EVO 120GB drives in stripe using the default intel IRST controller.
Compared to this from the article:

Great product but why is basic stuff like boot time to OS or loading time for games missing in review? To put only speed (MB/s) is taken out of context because you cant check delay which is created by raid and sandforce.
So is there any faster loading time compare to ordinary SSD?

I had this exact issue when my Revo drive x2 died. No warning. Only had the operating system on it,so there's that. Besides,I don't think anyone is going to put anything crucial on an SSD drive,just the operating system.
I've had way too many seagate drives die on me. Platter drives don't always warn you either.
Once upon a time I thought mechanical Seagate drives were great, they were all I would buy until I had 3 of them die on me one after the other with out warning. Since then I've used only Western Digital and have not had any just die on me. As for SSD's I would never use one for storage unless of course I win the lottery. They are definitely good for video editing or recording a game at 60fps where the writes are 4gb every 10 seconds.

Very true!, but then your chopping down on your performance, which then brings into question why your going PCIe in the firstplace! (with current hardware that is).
I've not seen any real life consumer benchmarks between NVME and AHCI so cant comment there for any real gains it would offer, i hear it does reduce power consumption however which would always be a bonus!
NVME normally brings a big performance boost, in particular for parallel accesses.
For those who do not want to "loose" one PCIE port, the M.2 alternative might be the solution. (it was my case
)
Moreover, I do not think any of the current M2 PCIe SSD are using RAID.
Here is what I got with my XP941
