Intel Intros 1.5TB Variants of Optane 905p 3D XPoint SSD
Intel today introduced 1.5 TB variants of the Optane 905p SSD that implements 3D XPoint memory. The drive comes in half-height PCI-Express 3.0 x4 add-on card, and 15 mm-thick 2.5-inch form-factor with U.2 interface. Both variants offer sequential transfer rates of up to 2,600 MB/s reads, with up to 2,200 MB/s writes. Random access speeds are rated at up to 575,000 IOPS reads, with up to 550,000 IOPS writes. A function of its sheer capacity and 3D XPoint, endurance for these drives is rated at 27.37 PB (bytes written). The drives retain the feature set of their less capacious siblings, including 256-bit AES native encryption. The company didn't release pricing.

Maybe the number is so huge, they're still waiting on the supercomputer to finish doing the calculations to come up with that the price will be...
yea, I'm jumpin on that, like, today, like, right now, as in, I've already ordered 100's of them....
n O t :D
FYI, to satisfy my neeeed4speeeed, I did order a few 3500/3000 Sammy 970 Pro's !
It also came with a Star Citizen ship that isn't available anymore. I wonder if it'll be worth anything :D
I bet that ship will be worth a tidy sum, IF the game ever launches...
So now, we the consumers, are once AGAIN, left at their mercy with little or no competitive options for really fast storage platforms beyond what they dictate.
That way, they can and will control anything and everything about it, and therefore will use their typical, milk-it or bilk-it mediocre/incremental update cycles to keep their cash cow revenue stream in place for anutha 10 years or so.....
905P official page - added 1.5TB AIC and 2.5in U.2 variant, added 960GB 2.5in U.2 variant (didn't make the news) to the already existing 960GB AIC and 480GB 2.5in U.2.
900P official page - prices lowered all three skus; 280GB AIC and 2.5in U.2, 480GB AIC.
Waiting for the 905P in 280GB capacity AIC to launch with those gorgeous blue LEDs. :)
