Optane performance on AMD vs Intel

Intel® Optane™ SSD DC P4800X 1.5Tb

Well if you can soft raid it with a duplicate drive you can get it a little closer to NSGYPA's P5800x score.

I'm just using Windows Disk Management to join the drives in a stripe below. (I lost my single drive Anvil benchmark for comparison.)

So with buying used, do these P5800X drives need something like Secure wipe to erase the previous data?

Intel´s memory and storage tool has all you need.

Intel® Memory and Storage Tool (GUI)

The Intel® Memory and Storage Tool (Intel® MAS) is a drive management tool for Intel® Optane™ SSDs and Intel® Optane™ Memory devices, supported on Windows*.

Random 4K IOPS almost doubled and latency almost halved with your Windows RAID0 -- can´t see no "hard suffering" there??!

If one is going to spend to money on exotic storage......would it not make sense to spend a little more to get a proper controller card for it?

That's what I've always done. U.2 raid cards can be had at reasonable prices when compared to U.2 drives.

adapters upon adapters upon adapters is not really my thing if it can be helped.

Oh your right. Sorry the way crystal disk mark colors the bars and doesn't include the decimal always tricks me up.

If you have an array probably. Otherwise they are just PCIe devices and you just need a proper adaptor to plug them into the bus.

Do you have any recommendations for U.2 controller cards? Are we talking simple HBA's or genuine RAID controllers?

The more connections the more that can go wrong.

I like HighPoint cards pretty well. They are a good compromise price-wise between LSi and (insert Chinese name here).

For PCI-E 4.0? I'd go with the SSD7580C.

Intel VROC is pretty cool too. Definitely cheaper to get a VROC key than a good raid card. I would assume that AMD has some equivalent to VROC, but i've not used it. what epyc and TR stuff I've seen either had a raid card, or didn't have enough storage to need one.
