Intel PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives

 

Ran across these so I had to test them out.

This one is 1.6tb of NVMe storage; it gets REALLY warm, and according to Intel's own docs it consumes 11.5watts at idle and 30w while writing, which explains why it is so hot!  Pretty impressive performance numbers considering it's age (circa 2015). Something else rather odd, is the card actually shows up as two 800gb drives.  In Linux it shows up as two different controllers, each controller having one namespace.
