Intel Optane Accelerated Drive Question

[Stoigeboiii]

I changed to AMD but using the same NVMe and Hard Drives. I undid the cooler and graphics card and I just remember I forgot to "unpair" (or whatever its called) my hard drive with my intel optane. It's not my boot drive just an accelerated drive. Do I need to go backwards and install everything again then do the "unpairing" or can I do without losing my data on AMD

Optane as a read cache works by duplicating data, so the original is untouched. I'm unsure if it features a write cache that might hold onto data for longer. If so, there may be some possibility a recent write might be on the cache but not passed onto the HD. So I guess I'm no help there!

 

If you use the AMD cache software, that does move data around and you'd 100% have to undo it properly.

I read on their page just after posting this and it said if you move the drive to another system you have to unpin it first. So I had to put everything back together before I could switch over.

Thanks regardless!
