Intel® Optane™ SSD 905P
PCIe* (P)
Breakthrough Performance
for Demanding Storage Workloads
Intel® Optane™ SSD 905P delivers breakthrough performance to meet the most demanding storage workloads in your desktop or client single-user workstations.
The Intel® Optane™ SSD 905P is designed for the most demanding storage workloads
in client systems, delivering high random read/write performance coupled with
low latency and industry-leading endurance.1 Built with Intel® Optane™ technology,
a revolutionary class of non-volatile memory, the Intel® Optane™ SSD 905P is
empowering professional users, content creators, and enthusiasts to extract greater
platform performance.
Breakthrough Performance for Workstations
The Intel® Optane™ SSD 905P delivers read/write performance optimized for client
workstations. The performance and responsiveness of the SSD 905P means the
processor can spend less time waiting and more time computing, resulting in greatly
increased eciency.
With exceptional random storage performance of up to 575K/550K IOPs (4K random
reads/writes), and low latency of less than 11µs,2 these key capabilities make the SSD
905P a highly responsive client storage solution. The SSD 905P also enables software
developers to optimize applications to take advantage of the unique attributes of
Intel® Optane™ technology: low latency, and high throughput at low queue depth.
High Endurance Ensures Storage Reliability
The ability to deliver these levels of performance with large and demanding
workstation workloads also requires high endurance to ensure storage reliability.
The Intel® Optane™ SSD 905P provides an industry-leading 10 DWPD, making it
the highest endurance client SSD in the market today.1 Professionals with the most
demanding storage workloads can now tackle even bigger projects with peace
of mind, counting on years of performance without the need for frequent drive
replacements.
New Possibilities with Higher Capacity
The Intel® Optane™ SSD 905P U.2 and AIC form factors introduce high capacities
allowing users to handle large data sets to better extract the value of Intel® Optane™
technology with workloads that place heavy demands on the storage I/O subsystem.
The slim new M.2 form factor oers increased versatility.
