I bought this before. It died after 2 months. Intel will not replace the drive but hand you a refund instead. It's a pain to get the refund. Took several weeks.
The speed in real life is not as...

This is not a “slick” deal for several reasons:
A) it’s PCI 3.0, we’re currently on 5.0 so this drive is far slower than modern ones;
B) the cost per GB is pretty poor;
C) Intel...

I meant that I wasn't expecting to feel a difference with optane outside of benchmarking. While it's faster random, human perception of it is negligible. However that was my surprise, that I do...

Huh? These drives have more iops, that’s good for the os then? Like better than a gen5 or good gen4 ssd w 12.5 or 7gbps read/write?

If you do go this route and want more than one drive per slot (like 4 drives in a x16 slot), make sure your board supports PCIe bifurcation and understand how slots can be split, this is usually in...

Though I agree with on unlimited life, Optane will smoke any consumer SSD in file transfer. (Source: I work for very large enterprise SSD manufacturer)

That's not an optane advantage, that's a data center ssd advantage. DC SSDs are tested at steady state unlike client drives that are basically burst tests.

There are U.2 to PCIe adapters as well, they can be for 1, 2 or 4 U.2 drives and be x4, x8 and x16 respectively, so you even don’t have to have a M.2 slot present or available.

I purchased one of these 1.5TB 905P drives from Newegg in November. It did not come with an m.2 to u.2 adapter.

Just a heads up in my experience the 960GB ones come with the adapter while the 1.5TB are in a shell with no adapter.

In my experience optane is better for big file transfers as it maintains a consistent read/write speed. While other Gen 3 ssds drop down to slower speeds after first 50gb or so. Unless we are talking...

These drives come with a U.2 to M.2 adapter, so yes usable in most consumer motherboards with a free M.2 slot. But, Optane drives are obviously very expensive, and in some respects (e.g., big file...

Just a heads up:
This is a U.2 drive.
Most likely your desktop motherboard, or your laptop is not compatible. The form factor is usually used in server machines (of course there are exceptions).
