Intel Launches 2.5" U2 and M2 8TB enterprise SSDs
Well, at least we can say, that's a proper SSD size. Intel released its DC P4510 series of SSDs, fitted with 64-layer Vertically Stacked TLC NAND. These enterprise storage units have storage capacities up to 8TB.
Intel will offers 1, 2, 4 and 8 TB models as well as a series of DC P4511 series of M2 ssds, with storage capacities of 1 and 2TB.
The P4510 Series enables up to four times more terabytes per server and delivers up to 10 times better random read latency at 99.99 percent quality of service than previous generations. The drive can also deliver up to double the input-output operations per second (IOPS) per terabyte. The 1 and 2TB capacities have been shipping to cloud service providers (CSPs) in high volume since August 2017, and the 4 and 8TB capacities are now available to CSPs and channel customers. All capacities are in the 2.5-inch 15 mm U.2 form factor and utilize a PCIe* NVMe* 3.0 x4 connection.
To accelerate performance and simplify management of the P4510 Series PCIe SSDs and other PCIe SSDs, Intel is also delivering two new technologies that work together to replace legacy storage hardware. Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors include Intel Volume Management Device (VMD), enabling robust management such as surprise insertion/removal and LED management of PCIe SSDs directly connected to the CPU. Building on this functionality, Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) uses Intel VMD to provide RAID to PCIe SSDs. By replacing RAID cards with Intel VROC, customers are able to enjoy up to twice the IOPs performance and up to a 70 percent cost savings with PCIe SSDs directly attached to the CPU, improving customer’s return on their investments in SSD-based storage.
Intel is also bringing innovation to the data center with new low-power SSDs and the Enterprise and Datacenter SSD Form Factor (EDSFF). The Intel SSD DC P4511 Series offers a low-power option for workloads with lower performance requirements, enabling data centers to save power. The P4511 Series will be available later in the first half of 2018 in M.2 110 mm form factor. Additionally, Intel continues to drive form factor innovation in the data center, with the Intel SSD DC P4510 Series available in the future in EDSFF 1U long and 1U short with up to 1 petabyte (PB) of storage in a 1U server rack.

That would be nice but between the $:GB ratio and the size of the current ones its a bit too early for an 8TB "Optane" drive.
With a U.2 interface the 8TB drive should still be way faster than anything SATA connected so we are heading in the right direction.
