"Intel is taking Optane to the next level with its SSD P5800X, which it bills as the fastest SSD in the world. The next-gen Optane SSD leverages the PCIe 4.0 interface, second-gen Optane media, and a new SSD controller to deliver truly astounding performance and endurance specifications." "Compared to the first-gen Optane DC P4800X, Intel says the 5800X offers an impressive 3X performance improvement in random read/write workloads, peaking at 1.5 million 4K random IOPS, and 3X more sequential performance at a peak of 7.2 GB/s." "The drive also delivers up to 4.6 million IOPS in random 512B workloads (useful for certain types of caching workloads) and up to 1.8 million IOPS in mixed workloads."=================================My 1982 SemiDisk (a whopping 512 kilobytes in storage: That's 0.000000512 Terabytes for you slacker millennials) was lucky to do 1 megabytes/second in transfer rate. http://www.s100computers.com/Hardware%20Folder/SemiDisk/SemiDisk.htm Jim Bell
