According to the news on February 10, Intel China’s official Weibo popularization said that because it has an independent Optane storage unit, it will intelligently store according to the user’s data usage habits, thereby achieving high speed and large capacity of the hard drive. After the enhancement, its maximum sequential reading speed can reach 2400MB/s, which can bring users a better computer experience.
It is reported that Optane enhanced SSD is a new generation of Optane products developed by Intel, a solid-state memory based on the new 3D XPoint technology.
Different from the common NAND flash memory on the market, this is a brand-new non-volatile storage technology. The storage principle is completely different from NAND or 3D NAND, and its performance is also much higher than that of traditional NAND flash memory.
For example, in terms of durability, because NAND technology SSDs use block writing technology, after a period of use, the number of blank blocks decreases and the storage blocks need to be organized at the same time, resulting in a significant drop in efficiency.
3D XPoint products will not experience significant write performance degradation after long-term use and provide higher erase and write cycles, so they have greater tolerance for frequent write operations.
On the other hand, the random read and write capabilities of 3D XPoint products are very powerful, although their peak data is about the same as high-end SSDs.
But in actual use, it can reach the peak when a large amount of small data is accessed, and SSD requires the data queue depth to reach a certain level before it can show the peak level.
And every time a computer using Optane enhanced SSD is shut down, the data in the memory will not disappear due to a power outage. In addition, the operating system in the memory can be loaded directly, so every time the computer is turned on and off, it can be completed instantly. .
After turning on the phone, you can directly use all the programs and data that were running when it was turned off last time, making the two uses completely seamless. There is no need to maintain power supply in "sleep" mode to retain data.
