Introduction

The ThinkSystem U.2 P5800X Write Intensive NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD is the ultimate in high performance solid state drive with ultra-low latency, very high bandwidth, and an endurance of up to 100 drive writes per day, making this drive the best choice for write-intensive high-performance workloads.

Intel's next-gen Optane storage solution brings outstanding quality of service for predictable performance, leading IOPS performance across workloads, and the best endurance value in the industry. With a PCIe 4.0 host interface, the P5800X performs over three times faster than the previous generation P4800X SSD, which has already carved out an important niche in data center storage thanks to its excellent endurance and overall performance.

Did You Know?

The P5800X SSDs have a PCIe 4.0 (Gen 4) host interface, where sequential performance is doubled over the PCIe 3.0 host interface. The drives are also fully compatible with a PCIe 3.0 host interface providing optimal performance and enabling compatibility across server families.

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a technology that overcomes SAS/SATA SSD performance limitations by optimizing hardware and software to take full advantage of flash technology. Intel Xeon processors efficiently transfer data in fewer clock cycles with the NVMe optimized software stack compared to the legacy Advance Host Controller Interface (AHCI) stack, thereby reducing latency and overhead. These SSDs connect directly to the processor via the PCIe bus, further reducing latency and TCO.
