Abstract: It isn't the 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 cheap hard d...

There really is no short answer on what to think about Optane Memory, so I'll instead break it down by putting it against the competition.Optane memory vs. Samsung 960 Pro or similar high-performance SSD: Get the 960 Pro. Yes, there will be some situation...
As we explained and demonstrated Ad nauseam throughout the entirety of this review, it's all about 4K random read performance at QD1-2 in an OS environment. This is the exact opposite of what people always focus on - sequential performance. We've been pre...

Affordable, Significant Performance Improvement, Easy To Setup And Configure
Price Premium Over NAND, Compatibility Limited To Kaby Lake and 200-Series Chipsets
One of the other side benefits of the technology don't show in the benchmarks. We've gotten a little spoiled around here, so powering up our test rig with only a hard drive handling storage duties was a bit of an eye opener. Not only was system responsive...

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...

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...
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...
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...
