It's such a tragedy Intel completely dropped the ball on Optane drives. With them having an order of magnitude higher random IOPS, it would have been incredible for servers!
- immibis 3y agoSamsung claims to deliver half a million IOPS on 980 NVMe drives. Is that not enough for you? Previous generation 970 claims to deliver 50k IOPS
- andersa 3y agoThey claim that but it's not true. It will deliver significantly less than that in 4k random read. I don't have the link to benchmarks at hand right now, but there was a review running CrystalDiskMark on these drives and the 4k random performance of the Optane drive was more than 10x the 980 pro. For servers delivering tons of small-ish files, that's exactly the use case.
