The pc boots in seconds and the games load up really well, I am both suprised and happy I chose this route. I woukd just get a big m.2 ssd if you have the money.

    Fortunately with updates this has actually become a little more useful. An update to the software now does allow you to use optane on drives other than the boot drive. So it can be used in conjunction with a large HDD used for gaming or other programs.

    Optane memory gets faster the more you use it, because it'll know what files and programs you use often enough and formulate it into its algorithm to provide faster boot/load times. It is not fast out of the box.

    • @poojav3YT
      @poojav3YT 5 років тому +1

      The fastness what you feel is more particularly due to the cache memory as the function itself of the cache is to watch your behaviour, get stored in itself and supply you accordingly.. hope this helps

    • @serviceaccount6475
      @serviceaccount6475 5 років тому

      false. it doesnt get progressively faster the more you use it. it can only cache something once. loading a game multiples times doesnt make it load faster it just lets the software know to leave it in the optane cache.

  • @undesputedkg
    @undesputedkg 7 років тому +43

    The whole point of this product is to put it in low end machines because optane + hdd is cheaper than equal capacity ssd solutions still at the same capacity. considering you can get multiple TB hdds for less than $200 but single TB SSD can cost upwards of $500. It's for laptops and cheap AIO desktops or just low end machines and laptops. the whole point of this is so that we as people who care enough to know this exists can suggest it to people who want their computer to be faster but aren't willing to make the investment to actually buy the kind of systems we have or to keep cheap laptops with 7200 rpm hhds and toss this in an m.2 on the board and you can replicate ssd performance without breaking the bank. it's literally for people who can't be bothered to know it exists.
    but if grandma says she wants a faster computer and all it takes is a ASRock B250M, i3-7100, and the 16 gb optane thats just about 230-250 to turn what was probably a Celeron or Pentium machine that's at least 5-10 years old into something modernly useful and significantly noticeably faster without a need to upgrade that many if any other parts.

    Great video! I got here because I was looking at a laptop that has 16G optane memory... and wondered what it was. I sounds like it acts like Hybrid SSD HDD which is good to have if it comes as a package with whatever you're buying... but only if you get it essentially without paying anything extra for it. If given a choice, and I need to pay, I think hybrid SSD might be a better choice.

  • @alainlores456

    Well i can see it being useful when you have lots of game on a 2 TB HDD to speed things up since a large enough SSD would cost you way more than the optane + a large WD caviar black or whatever other large HDD.
    Not all the games i have are installed right now and its taking just a tad over 1TB on my HDD so an SSD just wouldn't be large enough for me so i might get that Optane at one point. Maybe i'll wait for an updated model though . . .

Also 4k reads are through the roof as is super low latency + longevity. Benchmarks are interesting but real life is where its at and most stuff opens instantly. This baby will have a long life in my system as I can't yet afford the ultra expensive high capacity m.2 NVMe's.

    I think it's able to load the game in general faster because it's the same frequently used files that are being loaded. It would probably speed up saved game loads if it's literally the exact same load point everytime. Not sure why someone would want to do that though so maybe it's a plus that optane doesn't cache that?

    Nice video, you forgot to mention that if someone wants to have a quick upgrade (without reinstalling windows) then Optane is a good solution

  • @TairnKA

    Even if I had a mother board with two M.2 slots, linking an Optane drive (OS not installed) to a M.2 drive (OS installed) would provide only a marginal performance improvement, if any, correct?

    FYI, Intel Optane can now accelerate secondary SATA drives too.

    Not to mention, I think it was Linus pointed out, it's strange, you need one of the newer motherboards, so why would someone have one of those newer motherboards and not get an SSD too.

  • @marketingwithalvin1028
    @marketingwithalvin1028 5 років тому

    Most people nowadays already have an SSD as a bootdrive and an HDD for games and stuff.
    I was interested in using Optane for my i5-8400 build and speed up the HDD that has most of my games and apps (I use a 240gb boot drive).
    Is it just me or do you also agree that kind of setup would be more appealing to you too?

    so, in case of power loss, how does this product react? Are there any capacitors that complete the last transaction? Data is simply forgotten and rewritten on next boot? thanks

  • @ErnestStewart
    @ErnestStewart 7 років тому +5

    I could see how this would be a great tool to speed up grandma or moms pc/laptop but would it not be kinda true that the systems that they would have that could use this most likely don't have M.2 to begin with?

    • @The76Malibu
      @The76Malibu 7 років тому +6

      Yeah it doesn't make any sense. You'd have to buy a brand new PC anyways, so why would you not just get an SSD in the first place? The target audience for this product doesn't need crazy storage space in the first place, 275GB would be more than enough.

  • @paulhu4672

    Just a proprietary cache technology like Crucial's momentum cache technology if you buy Crucial SSD. Except Crucial Momentum just use idle RAM as cache while Optane uses a tiny NVMe SSD. Momentum cache is designed to entice you to buy more RAM.

  • @rubberducky704

    I would be interested to see if it makes a difference in situations where there is a Large capacity HDD that is quite full. I Agree with all of your conclusions so that is the only time I could see fronting the cash for this solution.

    if you have a board that has x2 m.2 slots and you have an m.2 as your primary drive and the second slot you have an optane drive, will they work together? and will it make any difference with boots times etc?

      +ABaunstumpf you got it wrong Intel Optane can be used for many purposes I am sure I could even use these exact sticks as RAM the reason it has many uses is because of the speed as RAM and caching would need higher performance storage mediums

    Can someone help me? I'm deciding between a computer with a 240 GB SSD and 3TB HDD versus another version of the same computer with 32 GB optane memory and 3TB HDD... I have no idea what these things even mean but they are the same price & I'm confused between the 2 versions.

    how come that the optane module in your tests is running off of a B250 motherboard when you said optane requires a Z270 chipset? is it actually just required to have a 200-Series motherboard?

  • @adamhorne1787
    @adamhorne1787 7 років тому

    I have thought of one application that this could be useful. what if you paired optane with a high capacity drive like a 8-10tb. If you were an information hog or had poor internet access (to stream), would this be better option to access that information faster?

    if it takes up that slot on the motherboard, does that mean you cannot use a m.2 ssd with it?

  • @themadhatterxxx
    @themadhatterxxx 6 років тому

    They recently updated the driver so that you can pair it with a secondary non os SATA drive...so if you have an SSD as a boot drive and a 6tb HD with your apps and games you can use it. Of course your board needs 2 M.2 slots for that scenario.
