High performance storage is in transition as the industry is beginning to adopt the PCIe 4.0 standard. For now, the biggest change consumers will see is even faster NVMe SSDs on offer. This comes as a result of PCIe 4.0 providing double the data rate of t...

There isn't much in the way of storage that can touch the maximum speed that Thunderbolt 3 can deliver and keep pushing the data at that speed, but the Akitio Node Lite with Intel Optane SSD and Thunderbolt 3 comes very close —without thermal slowdown.Aki...

At Computex 2018, one of the products that we saw that I personally was most excited for was the Intel Optane 905P 380GB M.2 drive. This small NVMe device is an absolute game-changer for servers. Realistically, on the desktop, most will be better off usi...
If you have a workstation or a server with U.2 drive bays or PCIe AIC card slots, just get the larger form factors. For workstation and mobile users, there are better consumer drives that have more capacity out there. 380GB is still fairly small for moder...

Intel's Optane SSD 905P is a follow-on to the Intel Optane SSD 900P we reviewed earlier this year. If you read that review, you already know about the ridiculously long claimed lifespan of Intel's Optane memory. I'm talking petabytes written rather than t...

Extremely expensive...
The Intel SSD 905P is one of the fastest NVMe drives we've tested, and one of the most expensive. But that's because it's rated to be very durable. If you write a lot of data, that's a selling point worth considering...

OutsideInside7 packages on one side of a single PCB. This is unexpected for a U.2 SSD since there is usually some sort of folded-over PCB sandwich, which doubles the available area for packages. Odd finding a single PCB here given the larg...
Pricing is listed as 'currently unavailable' for this new capacity, but an early number we saw in passing was $2199, which comes to $1.47/GB, which is a bit on the high side compared with lower capacity models we have previously tested.The same exact perf...

Following on from our look at the U.2 Intel Optane SSD 900P, it's time to look a model which is probably more likely to find a home in systems either thanks to its PCI Express connector or with the U.2 model thanks to its beefier performance, the Intel...
The Intel Optane 900P was one of the first drives we've reviewed that utilised the U.2 connector as opposed to the more common M.2 format, and it had a huge IOPS rating and some pretty decent speed, making it perfect for very specific task requirements. I...

When Intel released the Optane SSD 900P series in Q4 2017 they really upped the ante in the enthusiast storage market with a high-end 3D Xpoint-based drive. The 900P series was aimed at enthusiasts and workstation users that are looking for unmatched perf...
The Intel Optane SSD 905P series is not going to be a product for everyone. The 905P has incredible Random 4K performance and the 10 drive write per day endurance rating is impressive. The screenshot below shows the Intel Optane SSD 905P 960GB drive reach...

Intel's Optane SSD 905p is the fastest SSD ever made thanks to its new 3D XPoint memory, but some people don't think the new memory is much better than flash. These are probably the same people that think their Honda Civic is just as good as a Ferrari. Su...

The Intel Optane SSD 905P isn't a drive for everyone, but it's the fastest SSD we've ever tested. The price will keep most away, but the performance in the right hands, and applications, can increase productivity. We're not too upset about the cost be...

Intel is upping the ante in the enthusiast storage space again, with a brand-new 3D Xpoint-based drive called the Optane SSD 905P. As its name implies, the Optane SSD 905P isn't a major departure from the Optane SSD 900P that was released a few month back...

Over the past couple of days, we saw some rumors and e-tailer appearances of the Intel SSD 905P. Essentially an incremental upgrade to the 900P, with a few notable differences. Specs see a slight bump across the board, as do capacities, but the most strik...

The Intel Optane SSD 905P caught us a bit by surprise, but it offers a welcome refresh to the Intel Optane lineup. The performance is only an incremental upgrade over the 900P, but the 905P offers a doubling of the available capacities of both the HHHL an...
