I've asked on YouTube a few times but apparently my comments are too stealthy for people to notice.
Have you guys tried Intel's Smart Response Technology? It's much older than Optane, isn't locked down to only a particular kind of SSDs, but does require a higher-end Intel chipset... and is also a bit of a pain to set up with OS and cache being on the same drive. And it's also limited to 64 gigs of cache. And it leaves the cached drive usable on its own provided the last shutdown was "clean"/"soft".
Would be curious to see how it fares against Optane (its supposed successor?) and StoreMI (which bears quite a similarity).
D-side got a reaction from TechyBen in We Ran INTEL Optane on an AMD CPU!!
