3D XPoint: The giant in storage technology
For some time now, Intel and Micron Technology have been cooperating to bring a new change in storage technology. Following quite a while of work from 2012, the two monsters at last drew out the brainchild of their sweat and called it 3D XPoint. Everything aside, this is the speediest sort of storage capacity accessible right now. Inside and out.
The most ideal approach to clarify the workings of 3D XPoint is to take a look at it as a super youngster between flash storage and DRAM. Nonetheless, while typical RAM loses its content when power goes off (unpredictable), 3D XPoint settles this issue by not losing its content when the network chooses to abandon you.
3D XPoint will eventually takeover flash storage
Likewise, it is no less than four times denser than typical RAM implying that it can store four times the limit of ordinary RAM. With respect to the speed, it makes ordinary SSD stockpiling appear like a century ago capacity. It reads and writes data on the storage speedier than the NAND technology being used in current SSDs. This adequately makes it more costly than SSD storage. On the off chance that SSD is as quick, envision what this 3D XPoint storage can do.

How prepared is Intel with its progressive storage capacity? Sufficiently prepared to have sent a couple of units to the individuals who need to test it out. Called the 375GB Intel Optane SSD DC P4800X, this is a PCIe card that works in light of the same NVMe technology that is utilized as a part of the current SSDs. To have it, one should fork out a cool $1520 which is some cash for 375GB of storage. In any case, with those points of interest, it is absolutely justified, despite all the trouble.

In spite of the fact, that it is not anticipated to go mainstream (because of costs), this new innovation will in the long run defeat the regular flash storage. A similar way flash storage is pushing out customary hard drives.
