They are more effective when pairing them together with a mechanical hard drive. You can learn more on Linus Tech Tip Channel if you do a quick search on his channel with key word "Optane". They have already done testing and number does shows great result for those with mechanical hard drive wanting to gain SSD-like performance.</P> Thu, 21 Mar 2019 11:28:20 GMT KTxStudio 2019-03-21T11:28:20Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/Will-Optane-do-anything-for-me/m-p/686124#M5152 <P>I finally figured out how to make my NVMe RST Raid 0 bootable. So, here I am looking at the Intel RST screen, and the button for Optane Memory is tugging at me saying I should really get an Optane.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I am already at ludicrous speed will this make it plaid?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I have z270 chipset, 1 x16 slot used, 1 empty x8, 1 empty x4, and 3 empty x1 slots on the MB. I have 2 sata drives installed, and 2 available, but now that I finally figured out how to make the Raid 0 bootable, I have no use for the 2 sata ssds.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="2019-03-20 (8).png"><img src="https://community.intel.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/3687iEE9C928120330890/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999&amp;whitelist-exif-data=Orientation%2CResolution%2COriginalDefaultFinalSize%2CCopyright" role="button" title="2019-03-20 (8).png" alt="2019-03-20 (8).png" /></span></P> Thu, 21 Mar 2019 11:06:55 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/Will-Optane-do-anything-for-me/m-p/686124#M5152 JCarm5 2019-03-21T11:06:55Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/Will-Optane-do-anything-for-me/m-p/686125#M5153 <P>PS - </P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="2019-03-20 (5).png"><img src="https://community.intel.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/3688iA7780F2F67687464/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999&amp;whitelist-exif-data=Orientation%2CResolution%2COriginalDefaultFinalSize%2CCopyright" role="button" title="2019-03-20 (5).png" alt="2019-03-20 (5).png" /></span></P> Thu, 21 Mar 2019 11:07:44 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/Will-Optane-do-anything-for-me/m-p/686125#M5153 JCarm5 2019-03-21T11:07:44Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/Will-Optane-do-anything-for-me/m-p/686126#M5154 <P>Optane won't really help you at all if you pair it with a SSD.
