Intel NUC NUC7i5BNH - OPTANE MEMORY UPGRADE

[DBuja]

Hi, I was surfing through the Intel Web for the specs of the Intel NUC 7i5BNH, and I saw that the system is compatible with the following Optane memory:

Intel16GB M.2 PCIe NVMe memory

MEMPEK1W016GA

Intel Validated

However, after navigatiing through a store to find such memory, I was being offered the next level of Optane memory which is 32 Gb.

Intel Optane Memory Module 32 GB PCIe M.2 80mm MEMPEK1W032GAXT

I was wondering if this 32GB Optane memory module could be compatible with the 7i5BNH?

Thanks.

Yes, you certainly can - and, in fact, for accelerating larger-sized HDDs, this 32GB version can (eventually) improve performance even more (i.e. more space for caching more files).

Be careful, there are even larger (64GB+) modules on the market, but these modules have a different purpose.

Hope this helps,
