Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers like the performance and quality of the computer drive. For example, they mention it's fast, gives native SSD speeds, and runs single-threaded java apps without latency. That said, opinions are mixed on value.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the performance of the hard drive. They say it is as fast as promised, quick, and gives them native SSD speeds in a virtual machine. Some mention that it dramatically speeds up solution build and rebuilds, and that program installations are super fast.

Then I switch to the CPU lane (PCIe X16 slot 2) and this thing took off - the speed boost is only noticeable when moving large amounts of random files (i.e. picture & icon collections, movie & music files, programs that pull from multiple sources like CAD assemblies, video and file compression is a dream...). The smaller and more scattered - the better my 900p handled the job. *I strongly recommend you look up 3D Xpoint technology before purchase*
>Build quality: Excellent and larger than expected (but low profile) - heat dissipation premium
>Speed: really does depend on what you're moving (servers will benefit; photo & video a plus) - but single files and small programs are not a factor; the linear speed of my Samsung 960 is better until I pull my photo & music collection
>Reliability: no problems at this point (make sure you download the Intel NVMe drivers - Feb 2018); initially my drive captured the Samsung driver I had previously installed?
>Price: I'm good - a lot lower today than the release of few years ago; plus with everything moving to 4K - it was time to get real about storage speed (IMO)... Hope this helps
So aside from being an exciting new technology what does this drive buy you? Almost unlimited endurance, you’ll upgrade to something new before the memory cells on this expire and if you have a write heavy workload like I do it’s nice to have the peace of mind. It’s also great that there’s zero performance degradation over time and it performs just as well full as it does empty. Something many people forget about SSDs is that full ones can have awful performance characteristics especially if they rely on emulated SLC caches for writes as most newer TLC and now QLC SSDs do.
Further this thing is noticeably fast. There’s a noticeable speed up subjectively throughout Windows but more importantly Visual Studio flies on this drive. Even on high end NVMe SSDs Visual Studio would still choke for me from time to time. However this drive has eliminated that problem. As a software developer who often works from home this is a big deal. It saves me time and I don’t have to spend as much time waiting for Visual Studio to load files, index files, etc. It also dramatically speeds up solution build and rebuilds. Further it helps speed up virtual machines.
Is this drive necessary? If you can use it for your workload, maybe, otherwise absolutely not, it’s a luxury item. Spend the money on better GPU/CPU if you’re a gamer first and foremost. But if you’re a performance enthusiast like me, if you enjoy playing with new memory technology and you can afford an awesome toy that will make your computer noticeably faster I highly recommend it. It won’t provide you the same speed boost that switching from HDD to SSD did, but it will be way more noticeable than the switch from SATA SSD to NVMe was.
Cons: runs very hot, performance is unnecessary for all but the most niche users, cost is still very high relative to other ssd's
Ultimately I returned it in favor of a standard PCIe NVMe drive and I can't tell the difference in day-to-day activities such as gaming and 3D rendering. For specific use cases it can't be beat, but those are Enterprise data-center type things that I have no need for.
I installed this SSD on my workstation as a boot drive for Windows 10 and for running Windows applications unavailable for Linux. I had available a second (first occupied by GPU) PCIe 3.0 x16 slot directly connected to the CPU, so I opted for this SSD in order to make good use of those spare, faster PCIe lanes.
I have Centos 7 on a Samsung EVO 970 (M.2 PCIe x4) which I use for bioinformatics work. Both SSDs are fast, but the Optane is faster, especially on this machine where it interfaces directly with the CPU while the EVO 970 suffers additional latency from interfacing through the chipset.
The 900p tends to run hot though. To address this issue, I set the GPU fan speed to run at 100 % at all times (the GPU and Optane drive being ~5 mm apart with the SSD facing the fans' air intakes). It stays cool that way while GPU temperatures under load are not noticeably affected.

以前のマシンではIntel SSD 910でしたが、それをRAID0構成にしたものよりはやく、大満足です。
