Review: Akitio Node Lite w/ Intel Optane SSD – workstation-class performance [Video]

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2018/09/Akitio-Node-Lite-Intel-Optane-SSD-Review.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div>
<p>I’ve reviewed several Thunderbolt 3 SSDs over the last year or so, and the Akitio Node Lite with Intel Optane SSD (https://amzn.to/2piIDNT) is the best performer of them all. Advertising speeds up to 2600 MB/s read, it’s the only external SSD that I’ve tried thus far that skirts close to such a speed rating without being affected by noticeable thermal throttling.</p>
<p>Granted, the combo package of Akitio Node Lite + Intel Optane SSD should be a great performer, after all its price is $1500 for a 960GB SSD. That’s a lot of money to pay for storage when you can buy a 1TB version of Samsung’s bus-powered Thunderbolt 3 SSD for less than half the cost.</p>
<p>But if you’re in the market for an SSD that delivers workstation-class performance and endurance, then the Akitio Node Lite with Intel Optane SSD is worthy of consideration. Not only does it have a high performance ceiling, but it can sustain that performance while under load. Watch our hands-on video for more details. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/09/19/review-akitio-node-lite-w-intel-optane-ssd-workstation-class-performance-video/#more-552863" class="more-link">more…[/url]</p>
