A 16gb or 32gb ssd would be worse performance than the Optane drive. Just look at the performance of SD cards or USB memory sticks where you don't have a lot of channels and dies to use.

Multiple OEMs are marketing systems as if their total memory loadout is equivalent to their actual DRAM + Optane cache. That's not how this works.

SMART Modular announces its new SMART Kestral PCIe Optane Memory Add-in-Card (AIC) which enables memory expansion and acceleration for data centers.

New joint composable solutions deliver software-defined, low-latency data centers with the ability to pool and orchestrate for DRAM-like data speeds.

Optane, the memory technology pioneered and championed by Intel, has seen its last days. Intel has decided to wind down the technology as part of a refocusing effort. The news came on an earnings ...
