Intel Optane DC P5800X 1.6TB U.2 SSD

This enterprise solid-state drive delivers 1.6TB of capacity in a 2.5-inch U.2 form factor. It connects via a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface using the NVMe protocol. The drive is built for demanding server and data-centre workloads requiring consistent low latency. It is new and ready for deployment in compatible systems.

PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe interface determines compatibility

The drive requires a U.2 backplane or adapter wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 to achieve up to 7200 MBps sequential read and 6200 MBps sequential write. Random performance reaches 1500000 IOPS read and 150000 IOPS write at 4KB block size. Active power draw is 21 W within a 0°C to 55°C operating range. MTBF is rated at 2000000 hours.

Fits 2.5-inch U.2 hot-swap bays and frees CPU lanes

Installation uses standard 2.5-inch U.2 drive bays with direct PCIe cabling, leaving M.2 slots and add-in card slots available for other devices. The NVMe interface bypasses legacy storage controllers, reducing software overhead. Ensure the host platform provides sufficient PCIe 4.0 lanes and cooling for 21 W sustained operation.
