TTL in reference to your conclusion would you of been happy if the PCI-E version looked somewhat like-
I actually have a Raidr and use it as my boot drive and i bloody love it.
Asus didnt want to send that - performance isnt great from what Ive been told

I would really love to have one for my Maximus VII Hero build. Yet having it front and center right under the CPU block; that flash of green will drive me crazy. If I sleeved it, would it overheat? I also think even a small sheet metal shroud painted black or with carbon fiber vinyl would look better than the naked PCB as it is. I am a bit worried about any possible heat buildup though. Does anyone think its an issue if the drive is covered or sleeved?

If I am to spend so many euros on a PC that's all about performance I wouln't mind one of those things, no matter how ugly it looks. It's made to deliver performance, not some kind of fabulous looks.
The performance of this is totaly absurd and that's all that matters. Now if plextor was to make a "gamer/enthusiast" version of this and it came on a black pcb it would become overpriced ^^

Most people on this forum think that the looks of a PC is very important. Personally a green PCB among high end components is unacceptable. It really ruins the whole aesthetic in my opinion.
Youve joined the wrong forums.

These days if you're making a pc that is all about performance and it ends up ugly, you're doing it wrong.

To be honest it wouldn't take much for motherboard manufacturers to make a cover to conceal the M.2 space and that would cover the eye sore nicely!
Maybe, but it would be easier if the M.2 drive had a black PCB, because not every board manufacturer would put a cover on every board.

Oh dear Lord I'm going to get expelled xD
Anyway have you seen the Fatal1ty boards from Asrock... The m2 socket is placed where a dual/triple slot GPU would conceal it

Performance is important to us yes, but being able to have a super clean smick rig is just as important..... It's about professionalism and pride, we want to build rigs that we're proud of top to bottom that we can show to other people look what i built and they stare back dumb struck by how amazing it looks....

I really can't grasp how the M.2 performance and the PCIe adapter performance are different from each other? And especially the PCIe being better performing, considering that both places (Theoretically) have identical bandwidth??
I don't know if it's worth asking but @tinytomlogan would you consider re-running the benchmarks on a different board? Because to me those results seem strange
