Intel Optane is DEAD. Long Live Intel Optane! Buy them cheap right now...

If this is "backordered" on newegg, your order will be filled, order anyway. its fine :D
I was going to release this when they restocked but forgot till after it was live. oops!

When you say "striped three way mirror" are you referring to a traditional Raid 5 with three OptAne drives?

Alright, so how do I get started setting this up in TrueNAS scale? I've bought 2x Optane 118gb and have them ready for mirroring and use as a Metadata drive! A little nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated 😎

I'm working on my first build, 5x14TB. No idea how much I would need.

as far as i know intel optane is more focused on servers, for personal computers i don't think i've ever heard of it anymore

If my Synology NAS supported NVMe Cache I would look at an Optane drive, but otherwise I have no use for it on anything else, that I am aware of. :)

With a H10 optane 16gb and Primocache + 100gb cache on a normal ssd i get readings op to 18600 Mb/s

No surprise Optane was phased out, as ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) memory chips have so many reliability and retention problems that Optane SSDs just die for no reason at all. So, Intel saw the writing on the wall owing to the problems Optane SSDs have been seeing, thus ceasing to work on 3D XPoint FRAM technology as whole. It would honestly work better with higher capacity magnetoresistive RAM (MRAM) chips instead, and I wouldn't be surprised if Intel brings Optane back in the future, this time with better bulk storage MRAM chips. It's a shame it was hampered by well-known FRAM problems.

Can these be used with Linux HoloISO? Would be cool to get a 2TB HDD with this.

I just snagged a P1600X 118 GB for about 80 bucks from Amazon. The very last one I could purchase here in Germany and that's only because it's shipped from the US. I think I'm gonna make it a boot drive!

i find this now.... 4 months later

I am sorta curious if you could use the optane ddr4 dimm on something like the x99 dual socket rig I want to make, I think it would be similarly useful, but idk if it works with just linux mint, and zfs natively, or at all. If anyone knows where to point me, I'd love to learn more about the dimms specifically, as the info out there seems pretty minimal for the home gamer

Good video but mechanical drives have more than 1 read/write head. Depending on the model they may have several. That Seagate Ironwolf drive you have has 5 platters and ten heads for example.

I just bought a 16GB to upgrade my cousing PC that has an HDD in it, and it was dirt cheap

I use the 16GB optane modules as boot drives for firewalls (pfsense.) The H20 would work in theory in an AMD system if you could bifurcate the nvme 4x slot into 2x2.

What is a good ratio of optane to HDD?

I thought that Intel Optane is the future of storage, but Intel dropped it!
Such a shame!
Not only that, but SSD vendors also dropped SLC & MLC NAND!
TLC on PCIe 5.0 is worse than SLC/MLC on PCIe 3.0!

Good vid! Keep up the GREAT work! Where do you get those M.2 Adapter cables for the for the 2.5"? TY!

You only talk about what to buy but i still don't know what is optane and how I could benefit for buying one

Optane, dead loving it

all technology which microsoft had not copied from steve jobs is failing hahahah

fell the pain which they gave to steve jobs now
