Intel Optane SSDs Grow to 1.5TB

Intel announces larger additions to the Optane range of 3D XPoint-based SSDs-- the 905P, available in capacities of 960GB and 1.5TB as either a PCIe add-in card or the U.2 format.

The U.2 format is technically a renaming of the SFF-8639 interface used mainly in enterprise-class storage. It is thicker than standard M.2 drives, meaning it can carry more memory chips, and the drive controller is a further distance from hotter components. The 905P drives look like a thicker version of 2.5-inch SATA models, and connect to existing M.2 slots via extension cable.

Gigabyte Adds SSDs to Storage Offering

Gigabyte follows on the "overwhelmingly positive" reception to its first SATA SSDs with the announcement of a selection of NVMe PCIe M.2 SSDs, available in 128, 256 and 512GB capacities.

The SSDs adopt mainstream 2280 specifications, and operate via the PCIe Gen3 x2 M.2 interface to remove the need for power and transmission cables used by traditional SATA SSDs. Installation of the M.2 devices is more straightforward, while the lack of cables makes way for improved airflow and heat dissipation in the case.
