Bought new INTEL 1.5Tb SSD for 400$ - PCI SSD for my new PC

[Ruru]

because it uses PCI express and not m2

M.2 NVMe uses exactly PCIe.

$400 for a 1.5TB 7years old ssd without warranty is a lot.

You could have bought a 4TB 990 Pro, SN850X or KC3000 with 5years of warranty for a lot less and use this passive adapter.

Welcome to the Intel Optane club.

It's a great unit, consider the RDN4K Q1T1 read value and compare it to ZOMG HIGH SPEED PCIE5 SSDs. That's practical performance vs. circlejerks/second performance.

I run an OPTANE SSD P1600X Series 118GB M.2 as a boot drive and am thrilled with it and have no worries about paging wearing out the drive.

The original warranty was 1.5TB writes a day for 5 years and still have a working drive. The endurance is in the Pedabytes.

That is why optane is so expensive. Also why Intel dropped it. Not high enough adoption.

it's 90 TB writes per day for 5 years or 160 Petabytes.

I don't like m2 form factor, they are small and overheat a lot. Have one, always 60C, too close so they get heated by GPU n CPU, never again.

I use SATA 4 TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD's, which has no speed drop ever for my files n torrents
