H10 - Optane Drive not detected anymore - could not open a support ticket

[Nirott]

Hi,

I am facing the issue with one of two similar laptops (Dell 7706 2in1) that the Optane drive in one is not detected anymore. The slow SSD drive is still detected and working fine. I cloned both discs...the faulty one is new and has only 500Gbyte written from cloning. 

The Optane drive is also not recognized in the BIOS. As both laptops are cloned and one is running fine I exchanged the discs and it seems related to the SSD. 

I tried to follow all help articles found but the Optane part of the SSD is not shown so most I cannot follow:

• Delete disc with Diskpart
• Cleanup Optane Metadata in Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management
• BIOS

So I cannot reset it somehow or do anything else. As exchanging drives shows the issue in the other laptop it is related to the drive. Any additional ideas? 

Secondary, I checked warranty and my drive is still under warranty. But I cannot open a service ticket as it is EOL? Intel Support Chat told me to contact Solidigm who bought the SSD department from Intel including all support but I cannot open a Ticket for H10 Optane drives. Some articles pointed out that Optane is still owned by Intel...so how can I claim warranty or support?

Cheers,

Nils

Hello Nirott,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

Just a reminder: The products Intel® Optane™ Memory H10 and H20 with Solid State Storage are now “EOIS” products starting from January 17, 2024. That means, technical support is no longer available for customers from all channels: chat, phone, community, email, web. Warranty support remains unchanged, if the product is still within the 5-year warranty period we provide warranty support.

Can you please provide us the picture of the Optane Memory as well as the Serial Number.

Product is EOL. Contacted german support by phone, but should be solved for other customers. 

BTW. You should train your support that Optane is still supported by you and not moved to the other company. I heard that in every call....
