Seems like it is an enthusiast product derived from enterprise product stack. And when it comes to storage in enterprise idling isn't much needed so that power rating will be high along with load consumption. Also these PCI-E drives are targeted towards desktops/workstations and not mobile device like Samsung's 960/950 series of drives.

I don't know how enterprises build their setups, but I'd think those who run hundreds and thousands of devices at once are those more wary of the power consumption.

I like the idea, but as an owner of a 400Gb Intel 750 AIC, I already have decent speeds and low latency, and I doubt I'd notice the difference. The 750 is so rock-solid and reliable, it's not wearing out anytime soon, but when it does, I will definitely be looking at Intel's latest, whatever it is at that time.

Being honest, probably more interested in new NAND hitting market from Samsung. Affordable 2TB, or a chunky 4TB m.2. drive might finally solve my storage issues since I'm sans drives these days.

If history repeats itself this will be the new latency king for desktop computing and Samsung will release a competitive 10 series (980?) shortly after.

Or you can set it up as a hybrid caching solution using software (like PrimoCache). Intel chipset is only needed when trying to use official RST support. Then again, doing it using normal SSD and PimoCache would yield nearly the same results for less money and with larger SSD cache...

Well yeah. I haven't use windows since 2005, but that PrimoCache seems to be like bcache on linux. So, true there's quite little new on optane memory system by itself, though it should be more durable to that task than nand flash.

Main benefit of Optane is much higher write durability (write cycles) and latency which is somewhere between RAM and SSD.

Lower latency is welcome, but what about the write cycles? I mean, every review of a TLC SSD out there tells us 1000p/e cycles is plenty for home usage, so do we want to spend extra for more cycles?
Ok, I know this is not targeted for home usage, but I wonder what reviews will say when Optane reaches this segment.
