"Intel is taking Optane to the next level with its SSD P5800X, which it bills as the fastest SSD in the world. The next-gen Optane SSD leverages the PCIe 4.0 interface, second-gen Optane media, and a new SSD controller to deliver truly astounding performance and endurance specifications." "Compared to the first-gen Optane DC P4800X, Intel says the 5800X offers an impressive 3X performance improvement in random read/write workloads, peaking at 1.5 million 4K random IOPS, and 3X more sequential performance at a peak of 7.2 GB/s." "The drive also delivers up to 4.6 million IOPS in random 512B workloads (useful for certain types of caching workloads) and up to 1.8 million IOPS in mixed workloads."=================================My 1982 SemiDisk (a whopping 512 kilobytes in storage: That's 0.000000512 Terabytes for you slacker millennials) was lucky to do 1 megabytes/second in transfer rate. http://www.s100computers.com/Hardware%20Folder/SemiDisk/SemiDisk.htm Jim Bell

Being RAM, your iops could have been close to the speed of the bus at that time, same with xfer. What was 1982... 1MHz or so... Who is selling large capacity consumer RAM drives these days? Consumer means a cheap dumb block device, no raid, no mangement, no size limits, ecc ram, solid 12v external battery connector, at least 2x the ram slot count of the biggest 1-cpu consumer motherboards (those are usually 8 slots), full height and length options, no bus bottleneck up to pcie 4.0 16x, quality build, short warranty. You could probably find a very good market for it, and quadruple profit by adding on a corporate firmware load with management, -48v adapter, long warranty, support, etc. Even better if you can solder on the ram (much more dense than sticks, more choice of ram types), at less cost than what consumers could buy standard modules at. Call them the JDB drives... JDB - huge iops, huge xfer, more space than SSD, $$. RAM - huge iops, huge xfer, small space, $$$. SSD - middle iops, more xfer, low space, $$. HDD - small iops, less xfer, huge space, $.
