As per the post title. Got a fresh M10 drive and I just can't get it to work. I have done some research and made sure it is enabled in BIOS, has ACHI changed to RST and also opened up some space with a partition manager which has done nothing up to yet. Most people online with this issue seem to be missing one of the aforementioned prerequisites. Intel have fully EOL'd this and as such doesn't even offer support for it anymore, so I was hoping someone here has an idea on what to do next. Thank you

I just wondered if we can use an Optane through a M.2 to USB convertor.

I see there are a number of Intel Optane NVME drives on eBay from China, and I see LTT using them in many of their servers, I have 2 16GB drives (but there are 32GB for cheap as well) and was wondering if I could use that as a cache for the server. I would use it for boot but I don't know how the size would affect my capabilities. I was gonna keep using my very old Kingston SSDnow V300 240GB until that thing dies, but if the size isn't an issue I would consider that as the main drive, though this would almost certainly be much faster as a cache. It will be 2 or 3 4 TB hard drives for a little bit but I will be upgrading to at least 8 TB drives.

should i keep my optane 16gb or replace with a good m.2 nvme card
-
1) I remember Optane was a very hot topic, so why did Intel drop the support and stopped making more Optane drives? 2) My PC maybe supports an Optane drive, so if I were to upgrade from my M.2 Sata SSD, should I go Optane, or a normal NVMe SSD? 3) How does it even work though? What special sauce does it have to decrease latency?

I'm trying to add an M.2 drive to an HP ProDesk 400 G1 DM and use it as boot drive. The M.2 slot on that motherboard only support SATA protocol and NOT NVMe. I'm planning to use a 16GB Intel Optane M10 on it, but Intel says it only "officially" support NVMe. However, the Optane M10 uses a M+B key M.2, which should in theory also work with SATA. Has anyone ever tried using Optane M10 on a SATA M.2 port? Any comments / suggestions would be appreciated.

Intel Optane acceleration work on secondary drive?
TheOtherOne7107 posted a topic in Storage Devices
I've been thinking about getting an Optane memory m.2 to accelerate my game drive but cant find anything that directly says it works on secondary drives. so. does it? -
Hi Guys I have Asus B360m-a and has 2 M.2 slots which are for storage and an optane memory ready one. can I use the optane slot with an NVME or a m.2 SATA drive ? srry 4 bad english

Summary "Micron chose to exit 3D XPoint manufacturing due to lackluster demand that the company said had 'insufficient market validation to justify the ongoing high levels of investments required to successfully commercialize 3D XPoint at scale.' The company recently divulged that it lost $400 million this year alone due to the lack of demand for 3D XPoint." Looks like the supply of Optane SSDs and DIMMs is going to dry up soon. Quotes My thoughts Intel still has a very small amount of production capacity in New Mexico. However, this is a strong signal that even Intel is losing interest in 3D XPoint.

PCIE 4.0 Nand on CPU Lanes Vs Optane on Chipset Lanes
SonOfaMonkey posted a topic in Storage Devices
Hello! I'm considering spending my retirement money on an Optane P5800X lol. Would love to use it as my boot drive, but here's my quandary: I don't want to remove the PCIE cards i have installed, and the U.2 connector on my X570 mobo goes to the chipset. I have a Samsung 980 Pro on an M.2 slot going straight to the CPU, so I have the raw sequential speed of the Optane already, but I'd like the P5800X for the better latency and consistent random + long term performance. Will the chipset introduce latency that's significant, or bottleneck me in heavy use? I worry since have a GPU, 2 more PCIE cards, 2 NVME M.2 drives, and 4 SATA SSD drives plugged in, along with a bunch of USB devices. An alternative option could be to use an NVME to U.2 adapter for the P5800X, but I've only seen PCIE 3.0 version from Startech, which would definitely bottleneck the Optane.

TL;DR: installed optane module, and now my pc cannot see any of my drives So on day 1 of letting my younger brother use my gaming pc, he was complaining about how slow it was, so as per usual, I reinstalled my old optane module from years passed, the whole pc worked fine and optane was installed great, then it asked for an updated, so I did as it said and it all went fine. 3 hours Later on my brother had been prompted with the same update option so he did so. I then came back through and now I can no longer sign in, the only thing I have is the windows troubleshooter and in my bios the only bootable drive I can see is my DVD player Any ideas if this is just a blip from the update, any ways I can repair it or if my pc is just a brick

Summary During its most recent earnings call, Intel quietly announced that it is ending the entirety of their Optane memory business. This comes less than two years after Intel had previously discontinued their consumer Optane segments. Reasons given for axing the "NAND-replacement" persistent memory technology include lackluster profitability and industry trends towards CXL technologies. Quotes My thoughts Unexpected, although less than surprising given how Intel seemed to not really know what to do with Optane. Hopefully, this leads to the next technology gaining traction that isn't an Intel exclusive. Sources https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-kills-optane-memory-business-for-good

Are the Intel 660p series of Optane drives safe for general use beyond caching? Do they have worse reliability or sub-par write speeds? I wanted to purchase one as my new boot drive and though, from my own research, they seem fine I've had numerous people tell me they aren't.

I’m thinking of adding a smaller drive on my X1 Yoga and install Windows on that smaller drive (for edge cases, like online exams that require Windows), and I don’t want it to share my 2TB drive. Can I put a smaller drive on that slot? Here’s an image from another post that might help. I forgot to take a picture of mine. -
I have already tried resetting by bios setting to its default. I even did full CMOS cleaning and stuff, nothing worked. Though i didn't change the sata mode to raid. Cause I don't remember setting up inten optane memory or raid configuration even 8n my pc, it just popped up from last week.

Good Afternoon and Happy Monday Pt. 2! Reference present build: i7-7700k 32GB DDR4 RTX 2080Ti Intel Optane 900P (480GB I think) Now, I am thinking of switching to Ryzen (Ryzen9 3900X) but I am concerned that I won't get the full experience with the Optane SSD. Has anyone had any issues running this kind of configuration? Thanks in advance!
-
Hi, I know in the past that Intel Optane has been limited to Intel CPU’s, but I thought I read somewhere that Intel was removing that restriction. Can anyone verify if Intel Optane will work on a Ryzen cpu? Or if anyone has any alternatives, that would be helpful as well.

I recently bought a new gaming rig containing a SATA M.2 SSD from Samsung, having a capacity of 1TB. However, I quickly ended up filling this space, and am currently looking for options to enlarge it. I saw the Intel Optane Memory H10, a blend from SSD and Optane (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/memory-storage/optane-memory/optane-memory-h10-solid-state-storage/optane-memory-h10-32gb-1tb-m-2-80mm.html) and found it interesting. Do you think it's better to take this over a Samsung 970 Evo Plus, given that Optane is like 60 bucks cheaper in my country?

Hi all! First time here and hoping for some help. I've a self-built PC, into which I've installed an Optane accelerated HDD. It all works fine... but I notice that when the computer is idle for a while, the HDD starts making a strange looping sound, 1-2 second long, like a skipping record. The drive still performs, but its distracting and slightly worrying. It's all installed on an ASUS ROG Strix z390 e GAMING with the latest BIOS (which if I recall, mentioned something about Optane compatibility being one of the fixes in the newest version). The HDD is a 4GB Seagate Barracuda. Any ideas? Thanks! Dan

Hey All, So to start this is my current PC https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/HBw6Mp I'm wondering what the best solution for a speedy, large capacity game drive is? Currently my games are stored on a 1TB 2.5" SSD but that is quickly filling up. I've heard of AMD StoreMI and PrimoCache but don't really know a whole lot about either. I've heard StoreMI has limitations and can be a bit clunky though. Are either of them any good? Or does anyone have any other solutions? Ideally I am looking for something similar to Optane. I'm hoping to have like a 10TB HDD wtih some sort of cache so that its still quick if that makes sense.

I'm reposting because the answers I got so far were not helpful and I don't want this to be buried under newer posts. My problem is quite serious and it goes like this. When I try to install an Optane Module to accelerate my secondary HDD (Seagate Barracuda 2TB with 256MB cache) that I use as a Steam library I get a blue screen with the error report "Inaccesible boot drive" Let's take this from the beginning. My boot drive is a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe SSD installed in port 3 (the one with the heatsink) of my MOBO which is a Z390 MEG ACE with the latest bios (ver.1.70) and when I go to install the Optane module in port 1 (above the GPU) I go through these steps. 1. Turn off PC, turn off PSU, unplug PC 2. Go into BIOS and revert it to default. This was suggested by the MSI support but it didn't work. I got the same blue screen again. This might be one of the causes of the problem. 3. Follow the MSI support instructions and change the following settings. Note that the manual suggests to just enable Optane Genie which I tried the first time but got the same blue screen W10 WHQL Support set to UEFI MSI fast boot set to Disable Fast Boot set to Enabled SATA Mode set to RAID/Optane. Note that the Intel support when I contacted them suggested that I leave this to AHCI. This might be the other cause of the problem but I haven't tried this yet because I'm scared I might break my boot drive or something M.2 Optane Genie set to Enable M.2_1 RST PCIe Storage Remapping set to Enable M.2_2 RST PCIe Storage Remapping set to Enable I'm thinking the last two might be the third cause. That's because after I enable Optane Genie the M.2_2 gets switched to Disable. I hope someone can give me an definitive answer. Thanks gamers!

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. I need some help asap and this is the best place I could think of when it comes to technical assistance by fellow pc users. My problem is quite serious and it goes like this.

I get the same blue screen and hit a dead end. My only guess so far is that this has something to do with boot order. That's all gamers. I don't want to own a useless Optane module. Can anybody help please? EDIT Please don't suggest me to use another caching software. Read carefully please. I can't even get into Windows. How can I use another caching software with an Optane module I'm trying to get to work? If you have any suggestions about BIOS settings then those are welcome. Thanks

Any thoughts on 3d xpoint storage & Ryzen?
mikegray posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
OK, I think I've heard about as much about ryzen's current gaming issues as I need. My take: Assuming a few optimizations show up, my money is on team red ending up reasonably close to team blue in most games. And since I'm the kind of filthy casual gamer who typically games at 1440p (4k planned) with 20 Chome tabs, 3 Word documents and 2 Powerpoint documents open at the same time as my current game, I'm warming up to the idea of MOAR CORES, provided said cores don't completely sux. So, a 6 - 8 core ryzen system might be an option toward this fall. But then I got to wondering about the future of 3d xpoint and Ryzen. A few thoughts: - Fundamentally: Suuuuupa-fast storage could be a real game changer for gamers. (Instantaneous level loads? Oh yeah!) (As far as productivity goes ... meh.) - For now, there's nothing of interest on the market yet. Micron's QuantX stuff won't come until late this year, and even then, it's a server thing, not a gamer+productivity thing. intel's Optane is coming in q2, but I understand that it's (a) very expensive and (b) not as exciting as everyone originall hoped, so far. - OTOH, when (if?) Optane does come through, though, intel is HARDLY going to licence it to AMD! - Assuming that something really interesting FOR GAMERS turns up in, say, 2018, are ryzen users going to be left home from the ball? Or (to change fairy tale metaphors): Is Optane going to be intel's silver bullet? - For that matter, even apart from gaming: Is Optane going to be intel's silver bullet in the server space? Seems like fast storage is what the server market is all about! (Did I mention that I have a couple grand of stock in AMD and Nvidia, but not intel?) - What kind of MB advances are going to be required to start playing the 3d xpoint game, anyway? - Or does 3d xpoint turn out to be vaporware? -
Hi! I was wondering why intel didn't decide to use X16 PCI lane for faster speeds, or just roll out a dedicated Optane interface which would allow the drive to reach maximum speeds? If this drive is for datacenters, not rendering farms, they should have just used X16 input for fast speeds because there won't be a graphics card in the slot. What about when rolling out their compatibility specs to motherboard makers, not include a "optane port" just specifically designed for optane based drives so they can reach their full potential.. I really don't understand why they didn't do this. Please tell me if I'm wrong, but, if M.2. NVME drives are faster than PCI based slots, why didn't they use M.2. support for faster drives? If they were worried about consumers, they could have made a normal optane based SSD which supports current motherboards (like the one that exists now) and then made a optane based SSD which uses a dedicated Optane port or some faster interface for data center use..
