The supply of SSDs remains high and prices are falling again: it is high time for a new comparison test. You can read it here, based on a completely new test setup, with which we can test SSDs even better than before. We scored 67 models in this test, inc...
Now that the prices of SSDs are starting to fall again, the competition is starting to take off again. Especially the new models from Crucial and Samsung bring some life back to the business, which was badly needed in this market. Last year there were few...

After having a look at the Intel Optane SSD 800p with 58GB and 118GB capacity individually, it is time to have a look at how well the series performs in a RAID setup. After all, Intel sent me two of their 118GB drives ( product link ) for just this purpos...

Intel did not lie or polish the figures when they told us that the drive scales above 100% in a RAID setup. I'm not fully sure how Intel managed to create better than +100% scaling, but they did. And that is impressive! Granted, the Optane SSD 800P doesn'...

We have already had a look a the small Intel Optane SSD 800P with 58GB capacity and today it is time to test how well the larger 118GB ( product link ) version does. It has been a couple of weeks since the launch, and I've purposely held off writing this...

If you have read our review of the smaller 58GB Intel Optane SSD 800p, then there wasn't a whole lot of surprises in this review. Well, maybe the fact that Optane SSDs perform equally well no matter the capacity. That part shouldn't surprise you as such a...

Intel made plenty of fuss about its revolutionary 3D XPoint memory technology when it was first revealed back in 2015, after a three-year development. Intel considered XPoint as the logical bridge between RAM level performance and that of NAND flash stor...
The benchmarks tell an interesting story. They reveal that while Optane 800p can't deliver the headline read speeds of NAND NVMe drives, yet it can beat it in numerous other ways that are more relevant to a typical PC user.For those wanting their system t...

Anyone that has been paying attention has been dazzled by the performance of Intel Optane SSDs. This is because where it matters most, Optane SSDs are delivering 5x more performance than conventional NAND-based SSDs. Optane Storage delivers a new level of...
We believe that Intel accomplished exactly what they set out to do with the Optane SSD 800P - bring Optane to the masses. The Optane SSD 800P is appealing because it is relatively affordable. It is appealing because it is a single sided M.2 design. No nee...

Intel unleashed unbelievably fast Optane 900P SSDs earlier this year but, to our chagrin, they're not exactly affordable at $369 (£329, AU$559) for the smallest, 280GB drive. Not to mention 900P drives don't come in the easy-to-install and ubiquitous M.2...

In the end, we're at a loss as to who the Intel Optane SSD 800P would be ideal for. To even get a decent amount of storage, you would have to buy two 118GB drives for $199 (about £140, AU$255) each – then go through the trouble of arranging them into a RA...
