    Optane acceleration compatible SSDs?

    Just curious about what drives work as I want to cache a big PCIe 3.0 secondary drive, and Optane drives sub 380GB are finally plausibly priced now that Intel is ending them. It seems at least the 800p storage drives can be used for acceleration and with the added size might reduce cache misses...

    Intel Opteron P4800x vs P900

    I ordered a HPE ProLiant DL325 G10 server and a Intel Opteron P4800x for NVMe storage to go along with it. I know the Intel Optane P900 has a much lower endurance, MTBF, enhanced power failure protection and the capability to change sector size along with very similar performance. I'm...

    Intel Announces a Hybrid Optane M.2 SSD

    While products with Intel's 3D Xpoint memory tend to be insanely fast storage devices, Optane SSDs are pretty pricey when compared to their flash counterparts. 900P drives are still going for about $1/GB online, while the smaller cache drives have even worse price/storage ratios. But at CES this...

    Intels Adds 1.5TB Capacity to Optane 905P

    The PCIe and U.2 versions of the Intel Optane 905P SSD just got a capacity bump to 1.5TB. Like the 960GB version of the drive, the new SSD can do 575K random read IOPS and 550K write IOPS, and has an I/O latency of under 11 microseconds. There's no word on whether the M.2 version of the drive...

    Intel Announces New Optane DC Persistent Memory

    Intel is launching a new type of memory based upon 3D Xpoint and it's persistent memory in a DDR4 form factor. This new memory is expected to be used in datacenters and should really help out with database operations, but I'm not sure this will help the mainstream. With that said, I'm sure big...

    Optane Memory - Is it for you? <Opinion/Review>

    Over the last month or so, as a result of a thread on the Optane 900p, I have been experimenting with Optane memory and Primocache. What was established in the thread was that Optane has very low latency and high performance for low queue depth loads- which generally means that for desktop...

    If you were getting a new PC today would you pick SSD or Optane?

    Just learned about Intel Optane memory. Comparing these 2 options: 1. Traditional HDD with Optane memory (16 or 32 gb) 2. SSD system drive and secondary data drive that is traditional HDD. Based on what I have seen option 1 offers comparable speed to an SSD. It might also be cheaper. Which...

    Specs for Samsung's Potential Optane Killer

    Samsung is going to compete with Intel in the Z-Nand market and attempt to take some of the Optane business away from them. This Register article compares the Samsung SZ985 to the Optane P4800X and the results are surprising. Samsung may have a winner here and the rest of us might get...

    Intel 900p Optane drives to be another paper launch?

    The Register had found a number of listings for the 280GB and 480GB Optane drives with them being priced at $650 and $1049 respectively. I looked around and Shopblt.com has four listed for each capacity (two for each coast of the US). The price is pretty up there, but are they even going to be...

    Just What does Intel Have up Its Sleeve in Response to Ryzen?

    Well, a little birdie has whispered in our ears, not much. This reportedly showed up on Intel's intranet this past week: Could we be seeing a repeat of the K7/Netburst era with Intel having to play catch-up for a change? Maybe abandoning their tick-tock strategy and keeping 8th generation Core...
