Can you give me a version for idiots on what it's supposed to do?
Gavin Baker
As for now, it's a shit SSD.

looks like an M.2 SSD

M and B keyed
That's SATA or pcie x2 at best.

>slower than SSD

Just buy a bigger SSD and/or RAM.

It's storage that will look on paper 100x faster than SSDs but in real world use be 1% faster for 15 dollars a gig.
Samuel Hill
The point of it is significantly lower response times and latency than usual ssds, to be used as cache drives. Not sequential speeds.
Owen Jenkins
But does it have lower response times and latency than DDR3 memory?

Straight from their website

Intel Optane is a joke!

Intel Turbo Memory 2

It will probably have a fuckton of random read and write performance. Right now PCIe meme SSDs still have roughly the same random read and write performance as SATA and they are only page addressable.

I have 32gb worth of ram.
Why can't windows 10 just loads itself, in it's entirety (around 12gb) on start up?
Parker Rivera
jews
Lucas Ramirez
Just set up a ramdisk and install windows on that. Boot up time will be a lot slower though, as it needs to read those 12GB from a non-volatile memory.
Alexander Thompson
it'll probably be cheaper to get 64gb ddr4 kits, or even128gb, and simply make a ram disk.
Tyler Gutierrez
It's an SSD claimed to be as fast as DDR2
Unfortunately, in the few years that Xpoint/optane has been shilled, Samsung released the 960 pro which is just about as fast as Intel originally promised optane would be
Luis Bell
DDR 3? No
DDR 2? That's what Intel is saying
Jace Bailey
Would this hookup through the PCIe lanes?
Andrew Lewis
A 960 pro has about double the random performance of normal SATA SSDs
Not like NVME/SATA makes one shit worth of difference for SSD performance before the saturation
Noah Evans
Yes, as Z270 specifically comes with extra PCIe lanes "specifically for optane support"
Nobody knows what that means other than its PCIe-based. Is it locked down to z270?
Caleb Gutierrez
This, they waited too long and lost the speed game.
Now they have a product that's just marginally faster and most likely 8x more expensive than the Samsung monsters.
William Rivera
was going to ask what the endurace is, but at just 3x, its useless as a cache drive
Carter Ross
Why not just use fucking RAM then?
