These m.2 variants have been hard to find for a long time. Unsure what differences the HP branding makes but mine are recognized in a standard Supermicro board.

some time ago, newegg was selling intel optane 905p 1.5tb for $299 - it was a great deal (even with m2 to u2 adapter)
but 380gb for $200 - I don't know, only if you want m.2 without adapters and are ready to pay extra
805p is slower than p1600x, P4800X and P5801X (pcie 5)

805p is slower than p1600x, P4800X and P5801X (pcie 5)
OPs listing is for the 905p* in m.2 form factor
* 550k iops @ 4k random reading & writing, 2.5GByte/s reading or writing, pcie 3.0
sorry for the typo
905p is slower, but 805p is also slower
905p: Q1T1 ~150mb
p1600x, P4800X: Q1T1 ~300mb
You would need to *really* want the M.2 22110 formfactor for this to be relevent. I do happen to need that form factor for reasons and the M.2 is exceedingly rare, but for those who simply want some nice optane storage, these exist at 2.6x the GB/$.

Aren‘t these DC D4800X which have „dual“ 2x PCIe lanes instead of a „single“ 4x PCIe lane (and producing much more heat as well)?
Where the 805p shines is that it is an x2 lanes drive.
If you have a 4 (or more)-drive carrier with a PCIe switch, then you don't lose any bandwidth with these drives. Sure, they are slow individually, but in a 4-drive array they would be quite fast.
$175 for 2 SSDs only, no PCI-E cards but I believe that was a one-off so YMMV on replicating it
Those would make a good boot mirror/stripe set if nothing else, and I'm with you, I wouldn't need the PCIe card. I might try them and see.

EDIT: It appears the fw is HP and I never had any luck updating INTEL firmware on these HP drives.
I found some discussion on this German site
www.hardwareluxx.de
Which led me to here
I downloaded sp139802.exe and flashed my SSDs without issue
I also found this later security advisory but it doesn't appear to apply to the 905P drives
Lohnt sich noch eine (ältere) Intel Optane?
Ich hab im Q1T1 read schon 236MB/s gesehen mit 900p + 5800x3d Mit dem 5800x3d waren es bei mir sogar mehr, habe allerdings genau die gleiche 1,5TB-Version, wie @Dunkeltier, sprich: die 905P (die 900er gab es glaub sowieso nur in kleiner) ->

Also I have an Intel branded drive (SSDPEL1D380GA) that I will attempt some A/B testing to compare with the HP SSDPEL1D380GAH
