Intel® Optane™ Memory Series
16GB, M.2 80mm PCIe 3.0, 20nm, 3D Xpoint™
Perfect for a TrueNAS boot drive, or whatever else you need a 16GB Optane SSD for.
High endurance, low QD high iops, persistent storage. Basically very niche.
It's really just a fancy SSD that never really took off. Commonly referred to as Intel Floptane
hmmm put it in an enclosure and load tails?
Beat me by 23 seconds.
😉
3 Years vs 12 Months Seller warranty for whatever that is worth 🤔
warranty not worth the time taken to deal with it.
Yeah i agree just pointing out a slight difference between the two listings.

Cheaper here?
No idea what the use case for these are. Would I see any improvement at all on an everyday/gaming pc?
I have one of these to boost the speed of a traditional spinning disk HDD.

Use case is to be a cache for mechanical hard disc.
I didn't think Optane was even supported anymore

@ldd-mn: It works with 7th to 11th Gen Intel processors with their respective chipsets, drivers and Windows versions. Being EOL does not mean Intel Optane Memory would stop working on a compatible system. The question was what is the use case, and the answer remains valid but perhaps incomplete.
And SSDs - a useless feature that only causes issues lol.
Use it for pagefile / swap. Good way to speed up computers which are running low on RAM.
They were supposed to cache/speed up platter hard disks.
Mainly deprecated nowadays since majority of people just straight off run SSDs entirely.
Thanks, bought one for the lols.
I'll buy one to put it on display next to my RIMMs and xD-Picture Cards.
pfft, I have 3dfx
Bitlocker loves Optane memory and repairs. Not.
Thanks, bought one for pfsense probably a little more reliable than the random old ssd in there.
I really never understood Optane…. a cache? memory is cheap these days?
