Can intel just stop getting BTFO, its almost cruel at this point, first they lost coffee lake, now they lost optane.

isn't the 900p still better at latency and random read/write tho?
Jace Gray
no
Chase Green
prove it then
Cooper Morales
Its not, nand has less layers but its way cheaper.

Intel also seem to have lost their no. 1 semiconductor vendor crown to Samsung, which they had held for like 25 years. They're apparently likely to regain it next year, though.

Yes to both.
Doesn't really Help Intel though, since about 3 people will buy the 900p and several million will buy a 970Pro.
I'd buy a the 970 Pro over a 900P.
Luke Miller
I'd get both and use that caching thing AMD released
Henry Ortiz
No point in buying both for that if you're going to shell out for a 900p.
You'd buy a 970Pro because it has a semi-reasonable pricetag and the best performance from NAND, period.
900p is for a few niche edge cases and people with more money than sense.
Zachary Perez
the 900p is a great scratch disk but it's too small for main drive though
Caleb Wright
480GB isn't enough?
Christopher Jones
I know you'll laugh, but I have a bunch of games I want to install, I mess around with VMs and transcode stuff sometimes
I'd need at least 1TB along with an external NAS for mass storage to do these things comfortably
but you're probably right, the 900p would probably not make a difference on the stuff I usually do
Jaxon Martin
Games, transcoding, etc don't need to run on a 900p, that's literally more money than sense tier.
Neither will benefit from anything better than a SATA 860Pro.
Kayden Hernandez
Isn’t the Kingston KC1000 a better deal than the 970 EVO? It uses only MLC and has no SLC cache.
Dominic Martin
>Kingston KC1000
No, Kingston makes shitty drives in general.
Cooper Flores
I'd buy 900p if there were good legacy PCIE4x to modern M.2 adapters or the 900p was available as M2 (because of mITX mobo). They only have 280GB model with a shitty M2-U2 adapter.
900p still wins if you have new intel cpu.
Ryan Edwards
You don't need an Intel CPU to run Optane - you only need it for Intel's multi-tier cache system (AMD has their own version now, which also works with Optane and is useful for the 16/32GB m.2 drives)
Does your ITX board not have a U.2 port?
Gabriel Ramirez
how's the performance compared to the 800 series?
Daniel Jackson
>2016: 960 Pro - max 2 TB on 48-layer MLC

KOREAN DEFINITION OF PROGRESS
fucking trash
Aiden Martin
Why should I buy a pro instead of an evo?
Noah Evans
>2 bits per cell vs 3 bits per cell
So longevity and speed. In any real scenarios for normal people (even if your pc runs 24/7) you won't notice a difference and both models will outlive any other of your drives (especially hdds). So just buy what's cheaper or bigger capacity.
Owen Morales
Wasn't optane dead on arrival?
Juan Young
The more layers the bigger the fire
Cooper Reyes
The initial m.2 drives, yes
They were exceptionally low latency (over 1000 quicker than NAND) but had poor throughput and cost almost as much as a 120/240GB SSD (for 16/32GB Optane respectively)
Optane 900p is a full scale drive though - it's faster than any other nvme drive on the market in both latency and throughput.
It's twice the price though and unless you can really justify the low latency (you've got to be doing some very specific workloads), it's really not worth the extra money over a 960Pro 512GB (no idea how 970Pro will perform, it's not out yet)
If you've got unlimited money and it's really burning a hole in your pocket, buy the 900p.
If you've got too much money and it's itching in your pocket, buy a 960Pro or wait for 970Pro
If you want the best for the best value buy 960Evo or WD Black (Don't buy the WD at SRP/RRP, they aren't worth it, but they're usually on sale for 30-40% off)
