>What is the point of that speed if the rest of your system is a bottle neck and the drives will fail in a year if you use that speed continously? >I think we need to go back and look at cycles per bit (DWPD is confusing because you need to know the number of years and sometimes it's not mentioned on the product page). This work is for people developing dedicated storage arrays, not your laptop. Datacenter optane is good for 60 DWPD. Given that it is most frequently used as a caching layer, it's extremely unlikely you'd exceed that in a well designed system. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/optane-technology/delivering-new-levels-of-endurance-article-brief.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-tec... >Atleast SATA I can use in my laptops/desktops/consoles etc. Also nobody is looking at CPU usage of NVMe vs. SATA! Literally every storage vendor in the market is looking at CPU usage of NVMe vs. SATA. There's a reason they benchmark in "a standard 2U system" and not a Dell Laptop or Desktop.
