Intel Optane DC P4800X 750GB

The Intel Optane DC P4800X is a 750GB enterprise SSD built on 3D XPoint media with a 2.5" U.2 form factor. It connects via PCIe 3.0 x4 using the NVMe protocol and is designed for write-intensive server workloads requiring consistent low latency and high endurance.

60 DWPD endurance and 82,000 TBW

The drive is rated for 60 drive writes per day, equating to 82,000 TBW total bytes written. Sequential reads reach up to 2500 MBps and writes up to 2200 MBps. Active power draw is 18W and idle power is 6W. It operates from 0°C to 70°C with shock resistance of 1000 G.

PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface limits

The PCIe 3.0 x4 link caps maximum theoretical bandwidth near 4 GBps, so sustained throughput cannot exceed this ceiling. Latency-sensitive applications benefit from the memory-like response of 3D XPoint, but the interface prevents scaling beyond generation 3 speeds. Buyers needing higher bus bandwidth or larger single-drive capacities must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" U.2 15mm form factor fit in a server bay that currently holds 2.5" 7mm drives?

This drive is 15mm tall, so it requires a 15mm bay or a compatible U.2 backplane; a standard 7mm bay will not accommodate it.

How can I verify the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe link is running at full speed after installation?

Check the negotiated link width and speed in the OS device manager or BIOS; it should report PCIe 3.0 x4, and benchmark sequential reads near 2500 MBps and writes near 2200 MBps.

Does the package include a U.2 cable or drive carrier, or must they be purchased separately?

The drive ships as the bare 2.5" U.2 15mm unit; any U.2 cable, backplane connector or server-specific carrier must be sourced separately.
