I'd heard the Micron 7450 Pro 15 TB u.3 is comparable to an Optane 905p 1.5TB u.2 when it comes to random 4K IO; spec sheet states, "Latency, READ (TYP): 80μs, WRITE (TYP): 15μs" and 500k iops. Whereas a typical Optane 905p has 10μs writes up to 500 kiops. (ref: https://www.micron.com/content/dam/micron/global/public/docu... vs https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16636/rr-rate-905p-1500.pn...)

Over that range they're comparable it's ~10 microseconds vs ~15 microseconds. Really impressive stuff for a charge trap SSD. Size for size, and cost for cost, I'd rather have optane though.

No. Nothing on the market today is faster than a 905p when it comes to latency.

Really is bizarre considering it’s an 8 year old product.
