Optane 905P 1.5TB AIC SSD

The Intel Optane 905P 1.5TB add-in-card SSD is built for desktop and workstation users who need consistently low latency. It uses 3D XPoint memory and a PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 interface to deliver up to 2600 MBps sequential read and 2200 MBps sequential write speeds. Random performance reaches 575,000 read IOPS and 550,000 write IOPS at 4KB. Both read and write latency are rated at 10 µs.

PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 interface limits

The drive connects through a PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 slot, so maximum throughput is bounded by that generation's signalling rate. Sustained workloads will not exceed the 2600 MBps read or 2200 MBps write ceilings, and random IOPS top out at the quoted 575,000 and 550,000 figures. Active power draw reaches 18.6W while idle consumption sits at 6.2W, which the host slot and system cooling must accommodate.

Upgrading from NAND NVMe SSDs

Moving from a conventional NAND-based NVMe SSD to this Optane 905P replaces variable latency with a steady 10 µs figure for both reads and writes. The jump is most valuable for workloads sensitive to tail latency, such as database logging, real-time analytics or high-queue-depth virtualisation. Endurance is rated at 1,600,000 hours MTBF, reflecting the durability of the 3D XPoint medium.

Questions about this item

Will this add-in card fit in my desktop case and motherboard?

The drive uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 add-in card form factor, so you need a full-height x4 or x16 slot and enough physical clearance for a half-length card.

What power supply capacity is needed for the 18.6 W active draw?

The card draws up to 18.6 W under load and 6.2 W at idle, powered entirely from the PCIe slot, so any modern PSU with a free x4 or x16 slot will supply it.

How do the 575,000 read and 550,000 write IOPS translate to real workloads?

Those 4 KB random figures mean very low 10 µs latency for both reads and writes, giving snappy response in heavy multitasking, database work and content creation.
