Cool to see that adapter work like that, I haven't gotten that far 
On the shelf, haha.
I'm not sure how CDM works or if you can even avoid the cache on those 750s, but with 2 400gb you've got to be close to using all cache... I couldn't find how much the 400gb have but the 1.2TB have 1.25GB RAM.
I'd also re-test at QD 128, and QD 256 with the larger test... like 3 or 4gb. It would be interesting to see the differences

Interesting: 1 core is 100%, remaining 7 are 0%.
My cheap little Highpoint RocketRAID 2720SGL
achieves better parallelism than that e.g.
I/O is handled by one core and computation by a second core.
Sounds to me as if Intel is using Early-Adopter / Enthusiasts as Beta Testers
(maybe Gamma Testers?)

@takao.nakagawa Could you try another application such as 'AS SSD Benchmark' or IOMeter?
It'd be interesting to see how the CPU behaves when those applications benchmark your drive.
At least IOMeter should be able to let you do multithreaded IO which could prove beneficial.

Question: is the NVMe Intel 750 capable of "internal" parallelism?
In other words, is it capable of "pumping" multiple channels simultaneously?
I'm thinking of those lawm sprinklers that oscillate a tube on a cam,
and that tube is perforated with rows of small holes that spray a
fine stream of water at a right-angle to the tube while the tube oscillates.

So I installed this today. Probably obvious from the above but the orientation means there is no airflow on the heatsink fins of these NVMe drives.check this out: Amazon.com: Funtin PCIe SSD Adapter NVMe PCIe SSD Card, PCIe x4 Lane or SATA to SFF-8639 Interface PCI Express Solid State Drive: Computers & Accessories
pci-e card and sff-8639 ssd installed:
any thoughts?
Here's the link to Allyn Malventano's review at pcper.com (8/5/2015) :

looks like that Funtin adapter is actually a working solution for us, cableless owners of p3700
when SFF 8639 aka U.2 cables will be available ... | Intel Communities
i just bought one.
can't wait to bring my p3700 alive :]

but still there's a question of heating.
if heatsink is so close to the adapter, it will be difficult to cool it down.
maybe i should get that $400 2.5" 750 to get the cable + any m.2 adapter and use p3700 in a server using cable.
and then just put "useless" 750 into home pc via funtin adapter.
hm... sounds like a plan :]

For those who may be interested, we used the following 2 products
to provide plenty of airflow to HDDs, and the 120mm dust filter
made it very easy to vacuum accumulated dust:
Thermaltake A2309 Case Accessory - Newegg.com
Silverstone FF121 120mm Fan Grille and Filter Kit - Newegg.com
Because the rear of that Thermaltake iCage is wide open (no backplane),
it should be very easy to connect compatible NVMe cables directly to 2.5" NVMe drives
mounted in that cage.
