Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P Series
PCIe* (P)
Storage Performance
for Demanding Workloads
Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P delivers workstation class performance and industry
leading endurance to meet demanding storage requirements.
The Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P Series is designed for the most storage-demanding
workloads in client systems, delivering high random read/write performance
coupled with low latency and industry-leading endurance. Built with Intel® Optane™
technology, a revolutionary class of non-volatile memory, the Intel® Optane™ SSD
900P sets the precedent and opens up new possibilities for high performance
desktops and client workstations, empowering professional users, content creators,
and enthusiasts to extract greater platform performance.
Exceptional Performance and Low Latency
The Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P provides exceptional random storage performance of
up to 550K/500K IOPs (4K random reads/writes), and is complemented with ultra-
low latency of less than 10µs.

These attributes make the Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P
a highly responsive client storage solution. The SSD 900P also enables software
developers to optimize applications to take advantage of the unique attributes of
Intel® Optane™ technology: low latency, and high throughput at low queue depth. As
an example, game developers can take advantage of the features of the Intel® Optane™
SSD 900P to enable faster game loads, richer features, and smoother game play.
Unlocking More Platform Performance
Today’s client computing workloads are more demanding than ever. Higher precision,
increased complexity, and ultra-realism have driven the need for larger data sets in
the workstation space. The ability for a workload to spill out of the DRAM footprint
and page to/from the storage device can create starvation for the processor resulting
in inefficiency with platform performance. The performance and responsiveness of
the Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P means the processor can spend less time waiting and
more time computing, resulting in greatly increased efficiency. Ultimately, this enables
more performance to be gleaned from multi-core processors in client systems.
Industry-Leading Endurance
Critical to delivering these new levels of performance is the ability to also deliver
the endurance to match. With the ability to read and write data to the storage
device with higher rates of speed comes the risk of reaching the endurance limits of
traditional storage in a much shorter amount of time. To support these performance
attributes, the Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P delivers industry-leading endurance,
allowing professionals with the most demanding storage workloads to realize years of
performance without the need for frequent drive replacements.

Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. No
computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at intel.com.
The benchmark results may need to be revised as additional testing is conducted. The results depend on the specific platform configurations and workloads utilized in the testing, and may not be
applicable to any particular user’s components, computer system or workloads. The results are not necessarily representative of other benchmarks and other benchmark results may show greater or
lesser impact from mitigations.
