Not for much longer https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/intel-schedu…
Good to know these still exists
are these expensive because of the high IOPS? are these SLC?
Optane is a mess and was never really needed.
Massive confusion, is it storage? is it RAM? well…. it was both.
What does it even do… and the answer is… well.. even Intel doesn't know.This specific example looks to be a U.2 SSD
If you need U.2 then fine..
If you'd need to adapt it to M.2 then at this price you can get a 4TBSamsung 990 Pro cheaper (once factoring in adaptor purchase).
Optane is far superior to your Samsung NAND slop when it comes to OS performance, VM storage, cache, databases and synchronous writes.
Are optanes for everyone? No, but they have their niche.
that's really a good deal
