However, I recommend get read from Optane and buy a NVMe SSD (NVMe SSD can be installed in the same M.2 slot, instead Optane). The NVMe SSD are now not so expensive. You may use the SSD for Windows and programs and keep your HDD for data storage.</P> <P>Leon</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 27 Apr 2021 14:31:24 GMT LeonWaksman 2021-04-27T14:31:24Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/optana-HDD-replace-optana-SSD/m-p/1276857#M7484 Is it possible to replace optana M10 + HDD with optana M10 + SSD?

So-so performance with horrid fragility, what a combination!</P> <P>...S</P> Wed, 28 Apr 2021 03:29:41 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Optane-Memory/optana-HDD-replace-optana-SSD/m-p/1277199#M7489 n_scott_pearson 2021-04-28T03:29:41Z
