Enterprise SSD with 3D XPoint

The Intel Optane SSD DC P5800X is an 800GB enterprise solid-state drive built on 3D XPoint media. It uses a 2.5-inch U.2 form factor with a 15mm height and connects through a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 NVMe interface. This drive targets data-centre workloads that demand consistent low latency and very high write endurance.

Sustained write performance

Rated at 100 drive writes per day, the drive delivers 146,000 TBW of endurance. Active power draw reaches 18W while idle consumption is 4.2W. Sequential reads reach up to 7200 MBps and writes up to 6100 MBps. The MTBF is 2,000,000 hours and the operating range spans 0°C to 70°C.

Endurance decides fit

The defining specification is the 100 DWPD endurance rating backed by 3D XPoint technology. Buyers who need a lower-cost read-optimised drive or a larger capacity for cold data storage should look elsewhere. This model is purpose-built for write-intensive caching and tiering where sustained random write performance is the primary requirement.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the P5800X generate when running continuously at its 18W active rating?

The drive draws 18W active and 4.2W idle, operating between 0°C and 70°C with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF, so sustained workloads stay within standard enterprise thermal limits.

What server backplane and cabling are required for the U.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 interface on this 2.5" 15mm drive?

It needs a U.2 backplane wired for PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe, compatible 2.5" 15mm drive bays, and appropriate power delivery for up to 18W active consumption.

Will the P5800X work alongside older PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives on the same backplane?

Yes, the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, though sequential speeds will drop to the 3.0 limit while the 100 DWPD endurance and low latency remain unchanged.
