Having waited eight months since Intel's tantalising but ultimately lacklustre tiny Optane Memory SSDs, we've finally got our hands on the consumer product that 3D Xpoint (“cross point”) deserved from the start in Intel's newest Optane 900P series, which...

The Intel Optane 900P proves just how large an impact low-latency storage can have to the applications that can take advantage of it. The 900P is a professional's dream, making it easily the best end-user SSD available right now...

As expected, the 480GB Optane SSD 900p performs about the same as the 280GB model. That makes it one of the overall fastest SSDs money can buy, but the Optane SSDs don't win in every test.Higher performance is often an important selling point for higher c...

Intel's first consumer Optane SSD offers an enticing taste of the future of storage. But cramped capacities, high prices, and form factor limitations mean the 900P Series, though packed with potential, is best suited to a narrow swath of desktop enthusia...

When Intel and Micron get together to design an entirely different kind of drive it's time to sit up and take notice in a big way. Between Intel and Micron, they have almost unlimited R+D money and that combination of engineering and R+D money shows itsel...

Intel Optane SSD 900P Solid State Drives - Find Them At AmazonIn terms of bandwidth, latency, and endurance, the first enthusiast-class Intel Optane SSDs rock. The vast majority of consumer-desktop storage workloads reside at low queue depths while speedy...

Earlier this week I presented out initial Linux benchmarks of the Intel Optane 900P SSD with this 3D XPoint memory U.2 solid-state drive delivering incredible performance figures. Those tests were done with EXT4 while in this article are more tests with o...

If you want the fastest, longest lasting storage for your PC, Intel's SSD 900P with its Optane memory is it. It's especially faster with applications such as video and audio content creation and editing that can thread multiple writes...

The Intel Optane SSD 900P NVMe SSD loses points on availability and pricing but that is it. This SSD is the most powerful SSD we have had in our hands to date and its implementation of 3D XPoint Memory ensures that this is a disruptive technology. There a...

Today, Intel launched the first consumer variant of its 3D XPoint Technology SSDS, the Optane SSD 900P family of drives. I'm still working on the review, but—spoiler alert!—it's damn fast. In fact, it's the fastest SSD I've ever tested in many scenarios...

The wait is over, the SSD 900P is here, and it's even more affordable than I was expecting. The product was well built and nicely packaged, but it's the 3D XPoint on the inside that enthusiasts are truly after, and it did not disappoint. Intel's 14-channe...

Intel's Optane SSDs are coming to consumer systems for the first time today. The Optane SSD 900P Series will encompass 280GB and 480GB NVMe drives with PCIe 3.0 x4 interfaces. Intel will initially offer the SSD 900P as an add-in card in 280GB and 480GB ca...

For some, Intel's Optane SSD 900p will have an immediate, palpable impact. If you work with massive datasets in a workstation environment, this product doesn't even have competition. For the rest of us enthusiasts, it's really fast too, but its impact...
