  Why get these over cheaper per capacity m.2 or 2.5 drives?

    More endurance and faster read and write speed than NAND flash. Due to the limited capacity/price its more suited for a NAS where you just need to install the OS and some apps on it.

      Yeah, they are super niche products. Database logging, OS installs where endurance is important. Throughput of these are worse than newer pcie 4 nvm devices but latency stacks up.

        Which is why Intel has killed off their Optane division, not enough demand.

          @Hypnotoad: Also because of how much more expensive it is compared to ram (though it has the upside of persistence).

    I have migrated my system from Samsung 970 pro 1TB to Optane 905P. Windows 11 boot time is about half. I also moved my codebase from Samsung 980 pro 2TB to Optane, and typescript build & test time has been reduced by 1/3.

    Nevertheless, for gamers, it gives almost none impact on game fps.

      and is 118GB the biggest size they have?

      • 

        serena-yu on 22/03/2023 - 14:03

        I used 905p. It has 960GB. However since Optane's performance isn't much related to its capacity, the performance should remain the same if you use 118GB.

          @serena-yu: These aren't as good as 905p. A small Optane cache setup is not worth the trouble nowadays (not that these can be used in that type of setup nowadays unless you have a compatible Intel platform) so these would be used as SSD so the small size is an issue.

          I have an Intel Optane™ Memory H10 (didn't buy it intentionally), the seller sent one to me. It's worse than a standard SSD and is a pain to use properly. However, that's a even dumber product from Intel.

            @netsurfer: I have never given a * to those accelerated QLC drives. They are pointless. However, native Optane drives still have an edge in their area.

              @serena-yu: I agree, but 118GB feels like a poor man trying to use Optane. 58GB… well….

        He was referring to another class of Optane. These (the ones listed here) are different. As they are smaller in size, they will limit their usefulness.

      netsurfer on 22/03/2023 - 14:14

      It's relative. SSD boot time is generally good enough for most people. Typescript build, honestly, a faster CPU does a lot better. My Apple Silicon does typescript build 3X faster than my Intel Mac and even the best Optane won't be able to change that.
