Intel 905P NVMe SSD review: Blazing random access and amazing endurance (for a hefty price)
(PCWorld)

Intel´s Optane SSD 905P is a follow-on to the Intel Optane SSD 900P we reviewed earlier this year. If you read that review, you already know about the ridiculously long claimed lifespan of Intel´s Optane memory. I`m talking petabytes written rather than terabytes regular NAND SSDs claim.The 905P is also faster than the 900P and beats the pants off of any single M.2 PCIe/NVMe drive in threaded and small file performance. The downside? It´s really, really expensive. Design and specs Before I get to the specs, more on that price. The 960GB PCIe 3.0, x4 add-in card version of the 905P that I tested has a list price of a cool $1,300. The 1TB Samsung 970 Pro, a most worthy drive in its own right, costs less than $400. To read this article in full, please click here
