Hello Alderion75,

Thanks for posting.You can install one or more storage/secondary SSD on your Intel® Optane™ memory boosted system (as long as the motherboard supports them), without them interfering with the boot drive. As a matter of fact, Intel® Optane™ memory can only accelerate your boot drive.You can find more information about Intel® Optane™ Memory and its features here:- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000024018/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html Frequently Asked Questions for Intel® Optane™ Memory- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023994/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html Overview and Requirements for Intel® Optane™ MemoryPlease let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.Best regards,Eugenio F.
