   "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 [2]PCIe 4.0 interface, second-gen Optane media, and a new
   SSD controller to deliver truly astounding performance and endurance
   specifications."

   "Compared to the [3]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.
