Know before you buy
This drive uses Intel Optane Media, which is designed specifically for extremely high endurance and consistent performance under heavy write-intensive workloads. Unlike traditional NAND-based SSDs, it maintains high speed even when the drive is nearly full or under constant data pressure.
The P4800X uses a 2.5-inch U.2 form factor with a PCIe NVMe 3.0 x4 interface. While it is physically small, you will need a motherboard that supports U.2 connections or an appropriate PCIe-to-U.2 adapter card to install it in a standard desktop system.
DWPD stands for Drive Writes Per Day. A rating of 60 means you can overwrite the entire 750GB capacity of the drive 60 times every single day for the duration of its warranty period without wearing it out, making it exceptionally durable for data-heavy applications.
It uses the standard NVMe protocol, so it is generally recognized by modern operating systems without needing proprietary drivers. However, you should ensure your system BIOS is updated to support NVMe storage devices to ensure optimal performance and boot compatibility.
While it will function in a high-end workstation, this drive is engineered for enterprise-grade, write-intensive server environments. For typical gaming or home office tasks, standard consumer-grade NVMe SSDs will provide similar performance at a much lower cost.
