On a desktop computer the power consumption difference is utterly irrelevant. Who cares about a few extra watts when your GPU is guzzling a hundred?

- bhouston 9y agoThe difference between this drive and Optane isn't huge. It is faster on a lot of benchmarks, competitive on others, and only is behind on two latency tests.
- dogma1138 9y agoNone of these benchmarks really represent what Optane is useful at if you are buying it as an SSD storage you’ll be wasting money. https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Storage/Intel-Optane-SSD-900P-480GB-and-280GB-NVMe-HHHL-SSD-Review-Lots-3D-XPoint/Performa-2 https://www.pcper.com/reviews/Storage/Intel-Optane-SSD-900P-... The biggest bottleneck in the current form factor is the OS which is why the Optane can match a ram drive in latency. Once Optane DIMMs will hit the market or once a dedicated access protocol will be developed for low latency non volatile storage will be developed and the OS won’t be as much of a bottleneck it would be much more useful.
