    Background on me:I'm an IT Solutions Architect that tends to experiment with storage technologies internally to find better solutions for my customers.This review is merely a comparison of the following drives:Intel 900P 280GB versionSamsung 870 Pro 512GBSanDisk (Now Western Digital) Ultra 3D NAND 1TB2 KEY POINTS:Intel 900P drives can handle over 5 Petabytes (or 5000+TB) of writes to the 280GB drive, and over 8 Petabytes ( 8000+TB) of writes to the 480GB version.Samsung 870 Pro drives can handle 600TB of write endurance.SanDisk Ultra 3D SSD 1TB can handle 400TB of write endurance.Second Key Point:The 900P is significantly faster at I/O/Latency intensive tasks. Think virtualization, SQL Servers, and certain IDE’s. It excels at the following VMware ESX or Vmware Workstations and many Integrated development environments. (Programmers can make HUGE gains with Intel’s Optane SSDs)The Intel Optane 900P drive can handle up to: 550000 IOPS --This includes random read/writeThe 970 Pro Nvme can handle up to: 15000 IOPS Read and 55000 IOPS write at a Queue Depth of 1. But 370,000 IOPS Read/500,000 IOPS write at a Queue Depth of 4The SanDisk Ultra 3D 1TB can handle up to 95000/Read 84000/write IOPS, but, its less.The Intel 900P is a very fast drive, however sequential QD32T1 performance is not quite as fast as Samsung's Flagship. With that being said, if your application requires low latency, lots of drive writes, and high IOPS, this drive is a big BUY.If you would like to read more, google Intel Optane SSD 900P Series Review Storage review.The System used to produce the CrystalDisk Benchmarks is as follows:Intel i9 9900k Overclocked to 5Ghz32 GB’s of Kingston HyperX 3467MhzAsus Z370-EEVGA 2080ti XC 2

    From the perspective of workstation use (i7-7800x, ASUS X299 Mark 2, Vengeance memory 32 GB, WIN10pro 64bit) - I am extremely impressed with the performance of this Add-In-Card (AIC). I initially setup this card to the DMI channel - across the PCIe X4 slot - which is on par with the DMI bottleneck (sequential fast, random slow or restricted by shared lanes). The M.2 (chewing gum stick) suffers this on every motherboard except a few...
    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

    I think in many ways this drive got an unfair bad rap early on due to the price. One thing people forget is that most of an SSD’s performance on an end user’s system is tied to QD1 random read and write performance. And in that regard nothing else on the market even comes close to this. This drive is the first real progress I’ve seen in SSD tech since we started to get mainstream PCIe NVMe drives on the market. Perhaps more exciting is the fact that we now have an entirely new class of storage with huge potential going forward.

    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.

    Pros: doesn't slow down when it fills up like other solid state drives, far better latency than other ssd's
    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.

    Windows 10 boots in seconds, software installs in no time and large programs load very quickly.

    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.

    I have an SSD for my main drive, but since I run a lot of disk intensive apps and BOINC in the background, I wanted to try out the Optane SSD for my OS drive. Wow is it fast...although throughput speeds for SSD's like the Samsung 970 Pro are greater over time, latency is much lower on the Optane so the system reacts noticeably faster. I bought it mainly for the incredible write endurance, but the snappy response was a nice bonus. Very happy with the drive and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind spending a few bucks more for this kind of performance and durability.

    レビューで他の人があまり語られてない点で特筆すべきは、キャッシュメモリの事です。「コンピュータの管理」→「ディスクの管理」で該当のディスク右クリックで表示されるプロパティの「ポリシー」の設定の所。HDDでもフラッシュメモリSSDでも、「デバイスの書き込みキャッシュを有効にする」の項目にはデフォルトでチェックが入っているのが普通です。ところが、一連のOptane製品は、この項目がデフォルトで無効なのです。というか、有効にできません。つまり一連のOptane製品は、キャッシュメモリをほとんど積んでいないようなのです。このおかげで、キャッシュメモリが満杯になったか否かで応答速度が極端に変動してしまうという問題から解放されます。それでかつ、この高速性能が出ます。かなり意地悪なマルチタスク・連続アクセスのテストを数日間続けても、突発的にアクセス速度が落ちるという問題がありません。
