seeteeyou Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I saw quite a few 118GB Optane 800p in China for 350 RMB (about $51) but they're the OEM version manufactured for Hewlett Packard, therefore no firmware upgrades whatsoever are available https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=567212485714 https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=623383570460 Other Chinese sellers also listed them on eBay for almost 90 bucks https://www.ebay.com/itm/118G-Intel-SSD-M-2-Optane-800P-SERIES-SSDPEK1W120GAH-New-Genuine-f-HP-/313148025932 https://www.ebay.com/itm/118G-Intel-SSD-Optane-800P-SERIES-M-2-SSDPEK1W120GAH-Solid-State-Drive-for-HP/114369409891 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-118G-Solid-State-Drive-Intel-Optane-800P-SERIES-SSDPEK1W120GAH-for-HP-/124259344959 https://www.ebay.com/itm/118G-SSD-f-HP-SSDPEK1W120GAH-Genuine-M-2-Solid-State-Drive-Optane-800P-SERIES/114315095150 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-118G-SSD-Solid-State-Drive-Optane-800P-SERIES-M-2-SSDPEK1W120GAH-New-f-HP-/373115327282 Here's a link to HP http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/default.aspx?oid=23201021 Retail box would cost like $200 https://www.provantage.com/intel-ssdpek1w120gaxt~7ITEE0HQ.htm https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Optane-800P-118GB-XPoint/dp/B078ZK1ZLL https://www.newegg.com/intel-optane-ssd-800p-series-118gb/p/N82E16820167453 It's definitely a gamble since they're coming from China, though.

Popular Post seeteeyou Posted September 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2020 Not so sure about that "a select few individuals" part, even the world famous SGM Extreme got Optane 900P installed https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/reality-quest-going-to-extremes-with-the-taiko-audio-sgm-extreme-part-2-of-5-r908/ For the lowest latency out there, just go for something with Samsung B-Die and then try RAM disk instead of SSD http://jplay.eu/forum/index.php?/topic/2658-ramdisk-with-windows-server-20162019-configuration-guide/ 16GB of RAM should be more than enough https://twitter.com/mohrpheus78/status/1298967049289506821 IMHO if you're still having any doubt about SGM Extreme and others, no one will stop you to buy whole bunch of drives and compare all of them on your own. That's the only to find out what really works best for you. phusis and 87mpi 1 1 Link to comment
