it won't work without a z270 board and kaby lake cpu.

Yeah, you need 7th gen hardware pretty much entirely.

ikr, it doesn't make sense, pretty much all new systems have an ssd as the boot drive and there is very little improvement when you pair optane with an ssd.

I think Intel just spent way too much R&D on optane, and is trying to recover losses by selling it

to kaby lake users. Sorry..

so they get money from kaby lake and optane 

 

??? why

intel optane is like an accelerator that boost your crappy slow hdd . besides intel optane is like a ram it has unlimited lifespan

I know that, but my point is the optane "accelerator" can only be used with 200 series chipset and most systems using that chipset already has an ssd as the boot drive, therefore it makes no sense to even buy it

if the laptop has a 2xx chipset then yes, im assuming it is but its often marketed on the product page as  "intel optane ready"

i just wonder if it has a limited reads and writes on it ? like ssd . and besides for me it has a sense . even when my sdd is dead i can still get the speed of and ssd with the optane .

Intel optane memory modules only work with 200 series chipsets....

 

the intel optane SSDs should work with anything you can physical plug it into.
