    This is strictly speaking Optane Memory, not Optane SSD. It works as a cache for storage and not a storage of itself.

    • Mooncakes on 27/11/2018 - 13:59

      Are these like the SSD bits of a SSHD?

        Pretty much yeah.

    this is the solution looking for a problem from intel

    most users with nvme would just buy a nvme given the prices recently

      Don't know why you were downvoted. This is totally correct. Don't waste your money people.

      • SuBw00FeR on 27/11/2018 - 14:27

        Eh I disagree. Having a 4TB drive with steam games on it it's quite helpful when you play a game for a few weeks finish it and move on to the next. 4TB SSDs are still quite expensive.

          Most M2.0 drivers I have used (Samsung \ Intel and Western Digital), all let you use your M2.0 drive as high-speed dynamic cache.
          The overhead compared to Optane would not be measurable.
          BTW: When you are loading large content (like a STEAM game, most of the decent games won't fit in the small Optane cache anyway).
          Optane really helps with lots of random writes and for reads only frequently accessed data.

        • bogak on 27/11/2018 - 15:44

          You can afford 1tb nvme quite easily these days. Surely you can survive on 1tb with OS and your games?

        • jong on 27/11/2018 - 16:28

          240GB SSDs go for about $60 shipped (and less if you only buy a 120GB); and you can move Steam games at will between drives.

          Move whatever you're playing onto the drive, play it, and move it back when you're done.

        • jabroni on 27/11/2018 - 16:32

          I have a 1tb ssd for my steam/origin/GOG/ubisoft games and i manage just fine - i do delete once its been a few months after playing as i dont tend to replay and if i do then its usually no more than 2 hours to download and install again

          OS is on my 500gb nvme and this setup has yet to fail me

  • nfr on 27/11/2018 - 13:42

    If I had a spare m2 slot, I would just buy another nvme ssd.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/11/2018 - 14:48

      Spot on!!

  • [Deactivated] on 27/11/2018 - 14:47

    Intel promote these for the NUC, but say you should use both M.2 slots to maximise performance.
    Sure if you are wedded to your legacy HDISK. If you have an M.2 slot, just consider a high-speed M2.0 SSD.
    Intel\Samsung, usually come with drivers to use the SSD as a cache for your legacy HDISK.

    • netsurfer on 27/11/2018 - 14:57

      Intel is simply charging way too much for Optane. If Intel priced Optane at the same level as NVMe SSDs, that would be great for us.

      Unfortunately, lately, Intel just over promise and under deliver.

    Here are some Intel Optane SSDs, not Optane Memory (disk cache). Scroll down the page to see.

    M.2 118GB $285 - up to 640MB/s
    U.2 480GB $750 - up to 2600MB/s
    PCIe 960GB $1579 - up to 2600MB/s

    • daitro on 28/11/2018 - 13:31

      The U.2 905p 480GB is only $559 at mwave. I'm kicking myself as I bought mine from Newegg for 509 USD and thought that was a bargain. They were over 900 AUD a few weeks ago.

  • TilacVIP on 27/11/2018 - 17:15

    I'll agree with the majority here, a waste of $42

    • Shwayne on 27/11/2018 - 18:08

      Even if it was worth $42, it's a waste of a NVMe M.2 slot.

  • Shwayne on 27/11/2018 - 18:10

    Up to 67% Faster game launch

    If you only ever play one game, smaller than 32 GB, stored on a HDD.

  • wanj on 27/11/2018 - 19:25

    Why bother just get any old pcie nvme for fast storage

  • mikezillakind on 18/12/2018 - 00:27

    this cant function as Ram ?
