    I'm almost certainly not buying one of these, but they look cool!

    For some reason, I missed Optane having 30 DWPD. It might not be 1000x, but that's pretty nice for Gen 1.

    30 DWPD, but the first batch only gets a 3-year warranty. By the time they start releasing the other capacities they'll be back to a 5-year warranty, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the DWPD rating increased later in the product cycle.

    I suspect Optane actually already has significantly higher endurance, but Intel is playing it safe before they get complete endurance stress testing finished... Writing more than 12PB (30DWPD*3years*365days*375GB) on statistically significant volume of drives, under various working conditions, takes a while.
