Intel Optane SSDs go Head-to-head in Windows Server Testing!
Just last week Intel released their 3rd Gen Xeon CPUs, which builds on their ecosystem play that includes Optane SSD storage in the P5800X and of course the latest 200 Series persistent memory modules (PMem). With our initial Intel storage reviews out, we decided to repurpose the Intel server and storage tech we have in the lab. We installed Windows Server 2019 to test Optane PMem 200, Optane P5800X SSD and TLC NAND P5510 SSDs head-to-head. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the Intel storage performance in Windows Server so we may better understand where the strengths of each of these technologies lie in a bare metal scenario.
Our testing showed the bottom line is that the latest round of Intel storage devices, both PMem and SSDs, have made substantive advances when compared to the prior generation products. This is especially true now that Intel is able to deliver the faster BUS for DRAM and the PCIe Gen4 slots. With this bare metal data, we can see the specific spots where each technology excels. Understanding this data will let system builders intelligently design platforms that can make any application excel.
