Intel discontinues Optane P4800X series hard drives and embraces PCIe 4.0

Intel announced that it would sell its flash memory business to SK Hynix for US$9 billion, but the Optane business was retained. This is Intel’s housekeeping skill. Storage products based on Optane will focus on the data center market.

Now Intel has further adjusted the Optane data center product line. The DC P4800X series of Optane hard drives have been discontinued and retired. The final order date is June 30, and September 30 is the final shipment date.

There are more than 10 types of P4800X series products, including U.2 and PCIe 3.0, with capacities of 375GB, 750GB, and 1.5TB.

The DC P4800X series of Optane hard drives were released in November 2017, with continuous read and write up to 2.4GB/s, 2GB/s, random read and write up to 550,000 IOPS, 500,000 IOPS, read and write latency of 10 microseconds, but I don’t know whether the power consumption Will increase (375GB read and write state 18W / standby state 5W).

The new version still provides PCI-E half-height and half-length expansion cards, U.2 2.5-inch/15mm disks in two styles, supports PCI-E 3.0 x4, NVMe, and has a maximum capacity of 1.5TB.

The main reason for the discontinuation of the P4800X series is that new products have replaced them. In December last year, Intel released the data center solid-state disk SSD P5800X based on a new generation of Optane storage media, which claims to be the fastest in the world, and it is still easy to kill in terms of life span and delay NAND flash memory.

This series adopts a 2.5-inch U.2 form, the capacity is optional 400GB, 800GB, 1.6TB, 3.2TB, supports PCIe 4.0, the continuous read and write performance is up to 7.2GB/s, 6.2GB/s (3 times that of the previous generation), 4K Random read and write performance is up to 1.5 million IOPS, 4K 70/30 mixed random performance is up to 1.8 million IOPS (3 times that of the previous generation), 512bit random read performance is up to 4.6 million IOPS, 4K random read latency is less than 6 microseconds, Random read and write latency is less than 25 microseconds (40% increase over the previous generation).
