It looks like I snuck in just under the wire. I don't need new drives but I couldn't pass up on the price.

My thoughts exactly - great price - so why not get some spare drives.
 
Already added Intel 750 NVMe PCIe to my EVGA X99 build

I keep waiting for a killer deal on some 4TB drives.  But they've been kind of disappointing lately. 
 
I kick myself for not buying when the Toshiba's 3TB drives were 75.00. 

Well speak of the devil, I finally check my email and find this.

Though it's not the model I was after originally.

The READ speeds are tantalizing but the WRITE speeds don't seem too hot for me. For me to use one on my Z97 motherboard would cost me the ability to use SLI. Apparently they run hot too and that causes thermal throttling. EK makes a waterblock for them but it isn't tall enough to attach it to one of their terminal blocks. I was hoping that they would redesign it or make an adapter available to make it taller so the hoses wouldn't interfere with your video boards but I don't think they were listening to me when I mentioned it to them.

NVMe is working fine on my EVGA X99 Classified, 5960X that I'm benching /testing with my "old" EVGA GTX 980 SC - ACX 2.0   
 
When I'm sure the X99 MB is stable - finished basic OC testing; I'll throw the pair of  TitanX SC SLI and custom loop on it; removing the Z79 & i7-4790K.  Then the real fun can begin.
 
I have yet to bench the Intel 750 (bought the 400GB one) so I can't comment on max speeds yet.

Just remember to use ATTO to get the advertised R/W speeds. https://www.attotech.com/disk-benchmark/
Use AS-SSD to get your IOPS perfromance specs. http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6014-as-ssd-benchmark.html

It took me a while to find it but here is the best explanation I can find on different types of data and why each benchmark is preferred over the other during testing.
