Product brief Intel Optane SSD 905P PCIe* (P) Breakthrough Performance for Demanding Storage Workloads Intel Optane SSD 905P delivers breakthrough performance to meet the most demand- ing storage workloads in your desktop or client single-user workstations. The Intel Optane SSD 905P is designed for the most demanding storage workloads in client systems, delivering high random read/write performance coupled with 1 low latency and industry-leading endurance. Built with Intel Optane technology, a revolutionary class of non-volatile memory, the Intel Optane SSD 905P is empowering professional users, content creators, and enthusiasts to extract greater platform performance. Breakthrough Performance for Workstations The Intel Optane SSD 905P delivers read/write performance optimized for client workstations. The performance and responsiveness of the SSD 905P means the processor can spend less time waiting and more time computing, resulting in greatly increased efficiency. With exceptional random storage performance of up to 575K/550K IOPs (4K random 2 reads/writes), and low latency of less than 11s, these key capabilities make the SSD 905P a highly responsive client storage solution. The SSD 905P also enables software developers to optimize applications to take advantage of the unique attributes of Intel Optane technology: low latency, and high throughput at low queue depth. High Endurance Ensures Storage Reliability The ability to deliver these levels of performance with large and demanding workstation workloads also requires high endurance to ensure storage reliability. The Intel Optane SSD 905P provides an industry-leading 10 DWPD, making it 1 the highest endurance client SSD in the market today. Professionals with the most demanding storage workloads can now tackle even bigger projects with peace of mind, counting on years of performance without the need for frequent drive replacements. New Possibilities with Higher Capacity The Intel Optane SSD 905P U.2 and AIC form factors introduce high capacities allowing users to handle large data sets to better extract the value of Intel Optane technology with workloads that place heavy demands on the storage I/O subsystem. The slim new M.2 form factor offers increased versatility.Product Brief Intel Optane Solid State Drive 905P 2 Features At-a-Glance Model Name Intel Optane SSD 905P Capacity Half Height Half Length (HHHL) Add-in-Card: 960GB, 1.5TB 2.5 x 15mm, Small Form Factor U.2: 480GB, 960GB, 1.5TB 22x110mm, M.2, 380GB Memory Media Intel 3D XPoint memory media 3 Bandwidth: Sustained Sequential Read/Write Up to 2,700 / 2,200 MB/s 3 IOPS: Random 4KB Random Read/Write Up to 575,000 / 550,000 IOPS Read / Write Latency <10 s / <11 s Interface PCIe* 3.0 X4, NVMe* Form Factors, Height and Weight HHHL AIC 68.9mm / 17.2mm / 168mm up to 230 grams 2.5 U.2 15mm / 70mm / 101mm / up to 140 grams M.2 22mm / 110mm / 3.88mm / up to 13 grams Life Expectancy 1.6 million hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) 4 Lifetime Endurance 10 Drive Writes per Day (DWPD) Power Consumption Typical 380GB (M.2) 480GB (AIC) 960GB (AIC) 1.5TB (AIC) Active Sequential Read: 6.5W 8.6W 10.8W 13.1W Active Write: 11.7W 13.0W 14.8W 17.7W Idle: 2.7W 4.1W 6.0W 6.7W 5 Operating Temperature 0 C to 85 C RoHS Compliance Meets the requirements of European Union (EU) RoHS Compliance Directives Warranty 5-year limited warranty warranty void if used in a multi-user, multi-CPU data center environment Learn more now at www.intel.com/ssd 1.
