    Absolutely outstanding before Spectre & Meltdown & Zombieload- Now, not so much.

    Absolutely outstanding before Spectre & Meltdown & Zombieload- Now, not so much.
    People pay the exorbitant price this drive commands because of its outstanding low 4k Qdepth Read/Write performance. There is literally nothing else available to a consumer for these needs. For those of you who fall for the mass marketing high sequential read/write speeds that almost all ssd's advertise; most of us rarely ever use our drives for that purpose. Here's where Intel's 3D Xpoint shines. This technology has such low latency that your computer feels super responsive and "snappier". You can actually feel the difference and for those not on a budget, its price is worth the admission. Here's the problem: Spectre, Meltdown, Zombieload (MDS) and other security vulnerabilites that have hit worldwide in the last few years. Because of their threat- Intel, Microsoft, & computer hardware mfrs have had to mitigate these threats with hardware, firmware, and software updates. These 'mitigations' have taken their greatest toll on SSD IOPS; (with Intel Xpoint taking the biggest hit). Your brand new drive is approx 30-40% slower in random 4k Qd1 than it was before these threats. Other NVME ssd's are affected too but by a much smaller difference. The only reason I can recommend this drive now is that you need something that can take a complete thrashing of daily reads and writes of which this drive is phenomenal at. It is still about 4x faster than a 970 Evo Plus but if we could step back in time before all of these mitigations it was up to 8x faster!!! I've seen up to 300mb/sec 4k Qd1 reads on non-patched hardware/software! With a few registry tweaks you can disable the software mitigations in Win 10 but it only provides about a 15% increase. Of course all of this depends upon which security mitigations you currently have installed in your system (hardware, firmware, & software). Do you want a lightspeed drive or a secure pc because you cant have both.

    So, while this Optane drive is probably overkill by today's standards (unless you have very specific I/O requirements involving databases or other transactional type loads), I went ahead and used this as my Windows 10 boot/system disk and it's amazing.

    Boot times, hibernation wake-up, and application startup are all literally instantaneous. The 2.7Gig sequential write speed even exceed my Samsung EVO M.2, and random IOP's blow the EVO's away. It also runs cooler and doesn't dump heat around more sensitive PC components like a traditional M.2, since you can mount it elsewhere like a traditional SSD. It runs around 40c in my particular Define R6, despite not having allot of airflow around the drives with the mounting configuration I'm using.

    But the REAL reason I got it, and was able to justify the price, is endurance and resilience. My Primary Windows System Drive (C:) tends to last me at least 6 years or more before rebuilds, and with the Optane Technology I have little or no concerns about the disk lasting and maintaining optimal performance.

    Item being returned. It doesn’t meet the specifications for which it was bought. Should be hitting around 300MB/S random 4K reads and it’s gettinf half that. Put two of them in raid 0 to gain what it lacks in sequential operations and the latency causes the random performance and boot times to suffer making it only marginally better at random performance than drives at less than half the cost.

    Detected on Asus z390 Strix-E motherboard on second pci-e x16 slot through pci-e m.2 adapter without any issues. Windows boots in seconds, apps respond immediately. It's expensive but worth it.

    Using as system drive and performance meets spec. The M.2 adapter version is great with my new Z390 board. Cable long enough to mount the unit out of the way.

    Much longer life span endurance gives some piece of mind for my heavy writes workstation.

    This drive is much faster than the Samsung 970 nvme drives in complex work loads. This justifies the steep premium. Doesn't offer benefit in Desktop workloads.

    I purchased three of these back in Sep 2020 for $588.64 ea for a Linux md raid 0 setup. They are fast, but no way worth the money anymore. I'm going to build a new system and I'm going with a bread and butter Sammy either the 970 Pro or 980 Pro for ~$176, 1TB! Good luck Intel.

    Note: the current price is $874.42. That is a near 50% increase. I guess there are side effects to all this stimulus, would you say? You really don't need these drives for desktop applications, you just don't notice the difference. A Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB (twice the size of this drive!) can be had for around $180.
