M.2 Intel Optane Memory Module 16 GB
Overview
This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Optane
TM
memory module. The Intel® Optane
TM
memory is a
system acceleration solution developed for 7th Generation Intel® Core
TM
processor-based platforms. The Intel® Optane
TM
memory
module is architected with the high performance controller interface Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe*)- delivering outstanding
performance, low latency and quality of service. NVMe uses a standardized interface that enables higher performance and lower latency
than pervious interfaces. Intel® Optane
TM
memory module offers capacities of 16 GB and 32 GB in small M.2 form factors.
The Intel® Optane
TM
memory module offers a system acceleration solution using the latest Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)
15.5X.
The Intel® Optane
TM
memory module includes these key features:
•
PCIe 3.0x2 with NVMe interface
•
Uses Intel’s revolutionary new storage technology, 3D Xpoint
TM
memory media
•
Ultra-low latency; exceptional responsiveness
•
Performance saturation at queue depth of 4 and lower
•
Very high endurance capabilities
