No matter what claims were made in the past, it is crystal clear that Optane 900P is a killer device for ZIL style access pattern. This has been verified by numerous sources, independent or sponsored. As explained in the article, the expected life span of 900p is also amazing making it suitable for enterprise use, that is another huge bonus. What Intel offered here is a $300 device doubling your ZFS throughput performance and making the latency 10x smaller. As of writing, there is no competitor offering anything similar in that space. Optane is still new, there are of course rooms for further improvements, I'd look at that in a very positive way - more exciting products are coming.
