Having two optane modules, can I use one as boost for windows and the other one as storage for another OS?

[RPint]

I understand only one Optane module can be used for system acceleration, and attached to one SATA drive. My question is, would I be able to use the second module as a regular SSD, for the boot and system partitions of a Linux distribution? That way I would effectively boosted both OSs in my system.

Thanks?

Sorry for the late answer.

I'll try using Optane just for Windows 10 acceleration then, and buy a regular SSD for the boot and system partitions on Linux...
