>comparison are only to shitty Intel and Micron drives
Now put in a Samsung drive to compete.

And then you look at the consumer version of this, and it's a fucking joke.

>>59986630
Off to a good start

flash SSDs the format usually consists of little more than issuing block erase commands to the whole drive. 3D XPoint memory does not have large multi-megabyte erase blocks, so a low-level format of the Optane SSD needs to directly write to the entire drive, which takes about as long as filling it sequentially. Thus, while a 2.4TB flash SSD can perform a low-level format in just over 13 seconds, the 375GB Optane SSD DC P4800X takes six minutes and 47 seconds. This is long enough that unsuspecting software tools or SSD reviewers will give up and assume that the drive has locked up.

I still feel like this is a proof-of-concept looking for a clear use case.

No, keep it up!

It has a very niche use case. The question then becomes is the cost worth the use?

Why is anandtech so shit?

NOOOOOOOOO

NVMe isn't a protocol built for taking advantage of this, so I'm not touching it until we get some kind of bit level instead of 4k block standard

Big surveillance is going to love this.
