Low cost, Intelligent Acceleration, Versatile with supported and unsupported configurations, A real performance option for HDDs
Limited chipset support, Some software improvements required, Small capacities
Optane Memory is a complicated topic with a simple execution. If you follow the supported configurations to build an Optane Memory enabled system it will reward you with a fast storage volume that has the capacity of a spinning disk. $75.00 Suggest...
Caching solution for platter hard drives that shows measurable gains, Easy to set up (with BIOS caveat below)
For end users, pricey versus the cost of a low-capacity SSD boot drive, Works only with "Kaby Lake" platform, and 200-series chipsets, May require a motherboard BIOS update
Optane Memory speeds up PCs by caching the bits you use most from your slow hard drive for faster access. It works, but only under Kaby Lake. For now, it will hold more appeal for PC OEMs than PC upgraders or builders. Read More...

Affordable, Significant Performance Improvement, Easy To Setup And Configure
Price Premium Over NAND, Compatibility Limited To Kaby Lake and 200-Series Chipsets
One of the other side benefits of the technology don't show in the benchmarks. We've gotten a little spoiled around here, so powering up our test rig with only a hard drive handling storage duties was a bit of an eye opener. Not only was system responsive...
Exceptional 4K file performance, Can rival high performance SSDs under some circumstances, Wipes out hard drive-only performance
Only works with Kaby Lake Core i3 and up CPUs, Performance drops once you burn through the cache, Would feel better if $15 lower in cost
Intel's Optane Module will make a world of difference for users stuck with traditional hard drives. Those drives must be in higher-end Kaby Lake systems running Windows 10, though...

Our review isn't without some ideas and concerns with respect to Intel Optane Memory. Two things we discovered during testing were how much more beneficial it may have been to include a higher capacity version, at least to 64GB, as well as to increase the...

Abstract: This Feature Was Sponsored By GigabyteWhen it comes to improving the performance of your system, there are lots of things you can do. The obvious ones are upgrading your CPU, GPU and RAM. These impact performance within applications, games and more. Howev...
Severe performance improvement for large HDD users, Low access times, Improved productivity, Durable,
Not as useful for SSD owners as it is for HDD users, “Intel’s Optane Module can inject a performance to your large capacity drive which you hadn’t dreamed of.”, Intel Optane 32GB M.2 Memory Module Review, We would like to thank, Intel, for providing us w
Pricing and AvailabilityThe 32GB Intel Optane M.2 module I tested today can be yours for £74.32 or $77.99 while the smaller 16GB module will set you back £43.30 or $45.37.OverviewCombining two types of storage to increase the performance is in no way a ne...

Very fast read performance, Adds massive performance improvements to a standard hard disk
CPU and chipset restrictions, Write performance as a stand-alone drive is disappointing
The major fly in the ointment with the Optane Memory module is the official restrictions it currently comes with, which will be a limiting factor on its use. It only supports Kaby Lake processors and then only Core i7, i5 and i3 parts. There's no current...
