Hi JBudh,

 

Thank you for your contact to Intel® SSD support group with your request for assistance with your Intel® Optane™ Memory Series.

 

We have received the SSU logs sent privately, it was seen on your logs, all SSD/HD are listed; however, the Intel® Optane™ Memory does not shows up on this Log.

 

First of all, please bear in mind, Intel® Optane™ Memory does not accelerate NVMe drives as the Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P Series 280GB, 1/2 Height PCIe x4, 20nm, 3D XPoint™ installed on your system, your best option is to prepare your system for acceleration of your WD* Black 4TB Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD4004FZWX drive.

 

Upon checking with your Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) ASUS* webpage, we have seen your Intel® Optane™ Memory must be installed in SLOT M.2 socket 3 on your motherboard; please refer to the user’s manual, page 1-2, provided by your OEM on the following link: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/PRIME_B250M-C/E13585_PRIME_B250M-C_UM_V3_WEB.PDF?_ga=2.61712876.1962088536.1558551898-1374880803.1551807204   

 

Also, before using Intel® Optane Memory module, ensure that you have updated your motherboard drivers and BIOS to the latest version from ASUS* support website.

 

After confirming your Intel® Optane™ Memory is duly installed as per your OEM’s recommendation, please run again the Intel® System Support Utility for Windows* and send us the SSU logs.

 

Please confirm your primary drive, contains at least 5MB of continuous unallocated space at the end of the bootable drive. Remember, Intel Optane™ Memory needs the space to store configuration information and to successfully pair the accelerated drive with the memory module. Please follow thoroughly all installation details on this link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023989/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html

 

To help you further with your request, It will be necessary to receive from you, a screenshot of the “Disk Management” of windows, showing all your HDDs and partitions.

 

Please let us know if you might need additional support with your installation.

 

We will be looking forward to your reply.

 

Best regards,
