New Intel Optane P5800X 100 DWPD SSD Dominates PCIe Gen4

[Patrick Kennedy]

The new Intel Optane P5800X SSD dominates PCIe Gen4 with 7.2GBps of read and 6.2GBps of write performance, 1.5-1.8M IOPS, and 100 DWPD specs

Finally a use case for PCIe 4... my poor wallet.

 

[i386]

Some shops in EU already list them with prices:

Intel SSDPF21Q400GB01 (P5800X 400GB)

€ 1163,90

Intel SSDPF21Q800GB01 (P5800X 800GB)

€ 1964,90

Intel SSDPF21Q016TB01 (P5800X 1.6TB)

€ 3509,90

Actually better than I expected pricing wise

Hopefully an updated 800/905P series at nicer price points for homelabs soon too.

Hopefully some enterprise organizations decide to do large scale upgrades and we see dumps of P4800X's... in the next 6-12 months.

Any word if they're going to release smaller Optane Gen 2 drives along the lines of the P4801X? Would be very nice as a SLOG device!

Haha really ? I almost died seeing the prices but if you need it then easy to justify.

Wonder how much of that increase is Optane Mem Gen 2 and how much is PCIe 4 ...

This is what I'm hoping for.

PCIe 4.0 merely enables the sequential throughput to be reached, but the surprise should be 2nd Gen Optane.

The 1st Gen drive only gets 2.5GB/s read, 2GB/s writes. This drive more than triples it while lowering the small file latency from 10us to 6us. The P4800X's issue was that the sequential was behind NAND competitors. P5800X is saturated and are better in sequential throughput than most PCIe 4.0 NAND competitors.

P5800X, and the consumer variant if it ever happens should be a formidable drive.

I'm actually more excited on how much better Crow Pass Optane PMEM will do with its adoption of 2nd Gen Optane. 20GB/s read, 10GB/s writes? 1 EBW+? 1TB per module? Yes please!

Actually better than I expected pricing wise

US shops are actually showing $1000 for the 400GB version. It's substantially cheaper compared to the intro price of the P4800X. Though still expensive considering double deck.

1st gen optane nvdimms could write ~10 GByte/s (and read ~25 GByte/s) in memory mode:

I think the limitation for first gen optane was not the 3dxpoint or interface (nvdimm vs pcie) but the controller for the block devices.

That's not single module bandwidth.

256B Read: 8.3GB/s
256B Write: 3.0GB/s

At 15W that drops to 8GB/s and 2.3GB/s

will this mean more or less units on ebay for cheap -- i would love a drive

Where can I buy one in the US?
