  • That's a crazy TBW for such a small size.

      might be for someone since intel claims might satisfy someones needs for the premium

      The drives can endure up to six drive writes per day (6 DWPD) over five years (something you cannot expect from 3D NAND-based SSDs featuring similar capacities) and offer up to 2 million hours mean time between failures. Also, Intel says that the drives feature rather low 7Ξs average read latency and a 10Ξs average write latency, which is important for caching drives.

  • +9

    These are basically ideal for internal nas use as cache disks.

    • +7

      Lol this is not a consumer level ssd.

        • +1

          Chill, I'm just saying you're not the target market. This is a server based ssd lol, designed to speed up a cluster of hdds.

            @Wonderfool: I want kawara888 as my bodyguard. Knock people out first, ask questions later! 👊

            @Wonderfool: Depends on the definition of consumer too. There are many home server admins who can definitely benefit from Optane SSDs.

            • @SvcKpc: Yeah, and that's my bad for using the word consumer. In my mind, enthusiast is also a very different level of demographics.

        • +2

          This is a product that is PERFECT for specific use cases, unfortunately for consumers broadly speaking, SSD is SSD. But if you want a write cache or a 100GB swap/page file, then this is what you want.

            @Shermanpk: Yes most people blindly believe add cache will increase performance. Read/write cache only make improvidence if frequently access same/mostly same piece of data. Say hosting a database store in mechanic HDD, using the ssd as cache

            • +5

              @kawara888: Fun fact. Some home users (ie. not enterprise customers) host databases.

              Take a look at homelab on Reddit. It will blow your mind.

              • +1

                @PainToad: To be fair, that's only cause I misled him by using the word consumer lol. I should've just said server.

    • What's the benefit of storing them on an SSD instead of the torrent's destination drive?

  • +1

    I don't have the need for a large scale nas any time soon.

    But I do want one just cause Intel discontinued it.

    • I think they have? They're only doing pmem optane?

  • +2

    Is anyone using these in their synology NAS's? Curious if it will benefit performance for me in my DS1621+

    • +3

      Only if you're running a bunch of docker and/or accessing a small amount of files regularly. Won't do much for your plex server/other random access situation. Best to max out RAM if you haven't already, Syno OS already has a pretty good RAM caching strategy

      • You got me, movies, plex etc, wrong use case.

        Thanks, you saved me some $ 🙂

  • +1

    thanks bought 2 and got the extra 11 dollars off

  • Ordered, I plan on turning an old system into a NAS, so the R/WR Cache, but I'm wondering if any one has a speed test vs my DDR3 3200. 😅😂

    Optane will probably be faster then my system memory.

    • +1

      Dram is still a lot faster with much lower latency. 10gb/s+ for ddr3.

  • Should I get this for my Synology DS1522+?

    • +1

      Depends. You really have to be writing a lot of tiny files to the nas, and in super high volumes, to make it matter.

    • Do you host databases or VMs?

      • Nah, just backups/movies/plex etc.

        • +1

          Then you don't need it 👍 It won't do anything for simple use cases.

  • +1

    Does anyone know how to find the cheapest second item on amazon to get the 5% off?
    I can't work out how to sort by price

    • +1

      If you can find the coloring book for like 6 or 7 dollars hahaha, once was on the top charts due to people getting it for the 5%

    • Packet of Oreos? A pencil sharpener? Toothpicks?

  • +1

    Thanks, ordered some of these.
