This is a very fast drive even though it boots slower on Windows 7 than the Sata SSD I was using. It was hard to install with Windows 7 and partly because the Intel instructions are wrong. See Photo. Intel instructions said to set Storage Option Boot Rom to UEFI but my Gigabyte X99 board would not allow it to install with it set to UEFI so I changed it to Legacy and it installed right away. Other photos are speed test and it is about 5 times faster than the Sata 3 SSD I was using. Be sure to download the Intel Toolbox software from Intel so you can update firmware and optimize the drive.
Edit Add On: Sometimes a slower boot is good. With a boot time that is too fast, wireless network does not have enough time to connect and any network mapped drives will not connect in time. I let my pc sit a few seconds at the logon screen to give it time to connect to the network.
