Wow.Okay there are a few caveats when it comes to which setup and scenario the Intel Optane Memory can shine the brightest, but if we are simply looking at whether it does its job when paired with the right hardware then it is an undeniable yes. Outstandi...

Abstract: It isnt only the junk processor that makes a really cheap computer slow. Or the memory or the video card (or lack of video card). The primary reason your cheap laptop loudly chugs along at glacial speeds is because of the hard drive. Cheap laptops use ch...

Abstract: 3D XPoint (pronounced "crosspoint," not "ex-point") is a promising form of non-volatile memory jointly developed by Intel and Micron. Intel claims that the memory, which it's branding Optane for commercial products, provides a compelling mix of propertie...
Simple, no-frills installation process, Outstanding performance gains, especially to HDD-equipped systems, It's the fastest (lowest latency) thing we've ever tested. Period. (yes, again)
Requires current generation motherboard, preventing upgrades to older systems, Cost (see below), Too small to use as a boot SSD
I knew XPoint was going to enable all sorts of performance gains to storage systems, but I honestly did not expect Optane Memory to net such large benefits and to do it so well. While previous hybrid/caching technologies have been decent, the outstanding...
Strong low-queue depth 4k random performance, Easy to install/use caching software
Users need a certain Intel system to use the module as a caching product, Performance is lackluster versus existing NVMe products, Full solution cost is more than buying a traditional SSD
The Intel Optane Memory module is designed to accelerate HDDs but stumbles with underwhelming performance and is tripped up by the need for new motherboards and CPUs to support it. It may be the first step in the direction of new NAND technology, but it e...
This is not Intel's first attempt at Intel Optane Memory, but it is certainly their best solution yet. We discovered a very noticeable performance improvement with Intel Optane Memory enabled and we loved the faster boot times, improved application load t...
If prices and capacities were equal, you would get the Optane drive over NAND any day of the week. Until that day, we still think that the Optane drive is a tremendous value in terms of caching if you need consistent performance. If you have a heavy write...

Intel's Optane Memory tech unquestionably improves the responsiveness of a PC that relies on a hard drive for its primary storage, and by no small margin. Going by the metrics I tested, Optane Memory can even help a hard-drive-powered system outpace an a...

Low cost, Intelligent Acceleration, Versatile with supported and unsupported configurations, A real performance option for HDDs
Limited chipset support, Some software improvements required, Small capacities
Optane Memory is a complicated topic with a simple execution. If you follow the supported configurations to build an Optane Memory enabled system it will reward you with a fast storage volume that has the capacity of a spinning disk. $75.00 Suggest...
Caching solution for platter hard drives that shows measurable gains, Easy to set up (with BIOS caveat below)
For end users, pricey versus the cost of a low-capacity SSD boot drive, Works only with "Kaby Lake" platform, and 200-series chipsets, May require a motherboard BIOS update
Optane Memory speeds up PCs by caching the bits you use most from your slow hard drive for faster access. It works, but only under Kaby Lake. For now, it will hold more appeal for PC OEMs than PC upgraders or builders. Read More...
