They don't really make them anymore, but you can still get m.2 form factor Intel Optane SSDs in the 900/905P series, example[0]. They have insane endurance specs. Their performance is also still awesome, especially for random reads/writes[1]. I wish they had continued making them. Most PC builders just bought crappy Samsung SSDs this whole time, ignoring these awesome (and high priced) drives.

There was one update, but I don't believe it's m.2? [2]

Ha, you can't blame the consumer.
Great tech but expensive and locked to intel. Nobody was going back to the blue evil just because they had a really random reads and writes for the enterprise market.
