The editors liked

  • 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)
  • Strong low-queue depth 4k random performance
  • Easy to install/use caching software
  • Low cost
  • Intelligent Acceleration
  • Versatile with supported and unsupported configurations
  • A real performance option for HDDs
  • Caching solution for platter hard drives that shows measurable gains
  • Easy to set up (with BIOS caveat below)
  • Affordable
  • Significant Performance Improvement
  • Easy To Setup And Configure
  • Exceptional 4K file performance
  • Can rival high performance SSDs under some circumstances
  • Wipes out hard drive-only performance

The editors didn't like

  • Requires current generation motherboard
  • Preventing upgrades to older systems
  • Cost (see below)
  • Too small to use as a boot SSD
  • 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
  • Limited chipset support
  • Some software improvements required
  • Small capacities
  • 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
  • Price Premium Over NAND
  • Compatibility Limited To Kaby Lake and 200-Series Chipsets
  • Only works with Kaby Lake Core i3 and up CPUs
  • Performance drops once you burn through the cache
  • Would feel better if $15 lower in cost

  • Severe performance improvement for large HDD users, Low access times, Improved productivity, Durable,
  • Not as useful for SSD owners as it is for HDD users, “Intel’s Optane Module can inject a performance to your large capacity drive which you hadn’t dreamed of.”, Intel Optane 32GB M.2 Memory Module Review, We would like to thank, Intel, for providing us w
  • Pricing and AvailabilityThe 32GB Intel Optane M.2 module I tested today can be yours for £74.32 or $77.99 while the smaller 16GB module will set you back £43.30 or $45.37.OverviewCombining two types of storage to increase the performance is in no way a ne...

  • Very fast read performance, Adds massive performance improvements to a standard hard disk
  • CPU and chipset restrictions, Write performance as a stand-alone drive is disappointing
  • The major fly in the ointment with the Optane Memory module is the official restrictions it currently comes with, which will be a limiting factor on its use. It only supports Kaby Lake processors and then only Core i7, i5 and i3 parts. There's no current...

  • 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...

  • Optimal transfer speed, read and write speed, delivers what promised
  • Limited 32GB memory
  • Considering the performance, better than Intel claim, and price, the Optane is one of the perfect choices to upgrade your PC or Laptop. But, only 32 GB module is not enough, as OS can consume more than 10 GB spaceIntel announced its Optane memory module...

  Published: 2017-08-28, Author: Jamshed , review by: gadgets.ndtv.com

  • Significant speed gains for PCs with just a hard drive
  • Unreasonably expensive, Requires at least a 7th Gen Core platform and an M.2 slot, No benefit for PCs with an SSD
  • While Optane is a fascinating new technology development and gives us a tantalising glimpse of the future, it is nowhere near its promised potential yet. In a world without SSDs, Optane Memory would do exactly what it is supposed to, but right now, its ap...

  • Affordable solution to accelerate SATA HDDs, Impressive read speeds and, Decent write speeds
  • Hard to setup and not for the casual user, Only works with Intel 7th gen processors
  • With the introduction of Intel's new Optane memory modules, SATA hard drives can no longer be seen as an outdated means of storage space. The improved boost in read and write speeds are a welcome addition for any budget conscious buyers who wants to achie...

  • Intel claramente crea nuevos aires para lo que son hoy en día los discos duros, normalmente unidades como estas son ocupadas como unidades netamente de almacenamiento, llevándose todo el protagonismo las unidades SSD. Luego de realizar las pruebas con est...

  • Intel, que cuenta con un catálogo de unidades SSD, ha avanzado lo que para ellos es un tipo de memoria de futuro. Por su precio, hoy en día no podemos pensar en las Intel Optane como elementos de memoria principal, pero sí que, tras esta prueba, hemos com...

  • Intels Optane Memory ist unserer Einschätzung nach wie vor nur wenig für den Massenmarkt geeignet. Die sehr hohen, zufälligen Datenraten sind zwar auch unter Windows durchaus vorteilig, der Abstand zu gewöhnlichen SATADie Nutzung als Cache-Speicher in Kom...
