The Latest Launched 480GB SSD – Intel Optane SSD 905P

Intel Launches 480GB Intel Optane 905P SSD

Recently, the competition of solid-state drive (SSD) market has become intensive since more and more technology companies launch the large capacity solid-state drives, such as Samsung 8TB SSD, Adata 2TB SU800 SSD, Western Digital 15TB enterprise SSD and so on.

Therefore, in order to keep the powerful competitiveness in the solid-state drive market, Intel is about to launch a new kind of SSD, which is Intel Optane 905P SSD. And it can reach up to 480GB. We think it is sufficient for many entry-level technology users. Here, we will introduce some specific information of Intel Optane 905P SSD.

 Intel Optane 905P SSD adopts the 3D XPoint memory instead of the traditional 3D V-NAND. It was first seen in the original Optane 900P SSDs. However, the 3D XPoint has been changed and improved in the Intel Optane 905P SSDs. And the 3D XPoint memory inside Intel Optane 905P SSD is designed with one bit inside each cell which enables to access data on a bit-by-bit basis. It is different from the 3D V-NAND, which accesses data on a row-by-row basis.

Therefore, Intel 3D XPoint memory enables to read and write small packages of data at a faster speed than the traditional 3D V-NAND. Besides the 3D XPoint memory technology, we will go on to the next part.

The Intel Optane 905P 480GB SSD has an endurance of 8.76PB, while the 960GB Intel Optane 905P SSD has the double endurance that is 17.52PB. And it is petabytes, not terabytes. It is a game-changing figure that dwarfs the Samsung’s solid-state drive. This technology means that you have to write 5TB Data on the Intel Optane 905P 480GB SSD or 10TB data on the Intel Optane 905P 960GB SSD every day for the five-year period before you hit those endurance limits. Obviously, it is impossible to hit them since it is a huge number.

And Intel Optane 905P 480GB SSD adopts U2 interface. This kind of drive is smaller than 2.5in hard disk or SSD and it is with a height of 15mm. It is dominated by knobbly, ridged black aluminum that is used as a heatsink.

Now, we will talk about its performance. The Intel Optane 905P 480GB SSD with 3D XPoint memory has good performance especially to smaller files. For example, in CrystalDiskMark 5, the Intel Optane 905P 480GB SSD rattles through the 4K file reading test at 223MB one second. Meanwhile, in the same benchmark, the Samsung 970 Evo and Pro SSD can manage 60MB one second and 49MB one second.

In addition, in the final benchmark, Atto, we have got the information from the test, Intel Optane 905P SSD reads 512B files at the speed of 46MB one second and read 2KB files at 180MB one second and read 8KB files at 716MB one second. All of them are faster than Samsung 970 Pro and Evo. Of course, it has different data testing in different environment.

So it is very effective to high-end workstation. And if you want to upgrade your original SSD to Intel Optane 905P SSD, MiniTool ShadowMaker can help you and it would not bring any damage to your original data.

Conclusion

From this news, we can get the information of Intel is about to launch the Intel Optane 905P SSD. And it has two different capacities which are 480GB and 960GB. What’s more, it is very effective for high-end workstation. And it also has better read and write performance for small files.
