Intel has changed its previous marketing strategy and now offers the top model of its Optane SSD series, which was previously only available for use in data centers, for the first time for power workstation users. What makes the Intel Optane SSD P5800X interesting for users in certain areas is its exceptional speed, as measured in various benchmarks such as those from toms Hardware, Twektown or Storage Review. Intel Optane SSD P5800X Although your sequential transfer speed of about 7.1 GB/s write and 5.6 GB/read is not quite as fast as the fastest current PCIe 4.0 NVME SSDs, your random read and write speed is extremely high. Equally high are the access times at low queue depths, the write as well as read access latency of 5 µs and the 1,500,000 IOPS random reads and 1,350,000 IOPS random writes respectively. Intel&s NVMe SSD Optane P5800X uses second-generation Optane memory and as well as a proprietary PCIe Gen 4x4 native controller and is connected to the system via PCIe 4.0. Intel Optane SSD P5800X Crystalmark Another plus point besides the speed is the endurance of the Intel Optane P5800X - Intel specifies the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) with 2 million hours and a fabulous DWPD value (Drive Writes Per Day) of 100 over the warranty period of 5 years. For comparison: the DWPD of a current Samsung 980 Pro NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD with 500GB is 0.3 - so it is suitable for work with extremely high permanent write performance - especially since it hardly gets hot according to tests. Intel Optane SSD P5800X However, the enormous speed has its price, which probably only makes the Intel Optane SSD P5800X interesting for special use cases, where the speed is also reflected in time savings during computing. The 400 GB version of the Intel Optane SSD P5800X costs around 1,500 Euros, the 800 GB version around 2,475 Euros - the 1.6 TB version is not yet available in this country, a 3.2 TB version is supposed to be released later this year. more infos at bei www.tomshardware.com deutsche Version dieser Seite: Intel Optane SSD P5800X - die schnellste Workstation SSD jemals |
