Intel Optane 900p SSD

Do these Intel Optane SSDs work with non Intel chipsets? The optane modules ( the non ssd speed sticks) only work on 270 and newer boards. Are the 900p series just regular NVME x4 SSDs?

 

Got a X399 board with a U.2 connector just wondering if this would work.

Optane is only for Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake, but I have no idea which manufacturer x399 belongs to.

Specifically, this quote:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/11953/the-intel-optane-ssd-900p-review/2

"The Optane SSD 900P has enough space to be used as general-purpose storage, and larger capacity models can be introduced as necessary. There's no need to tangle with Intel's caching software and its associated platform lock-in as with the Optane Memory modules."

According to the quote above, it should work on any system.

Optane will work on any non-Intel chipset and any pre-KBL chipsets. You lose out on the caching aspect and are left with an SSD to use as you wish. 

 

The 900p is a standalone SSD and should work with any chipset just like the Optane caching module.

There should have been more marketing on these new SSD's

Evreybodies (including me) confuses them with Optane

It's part of their Optane line using 3D-Xpoint.

 

Anyone buying into some uninformed review of the tech should just stop reading marketing material and just read the 30-page whitepaper available on Intel's website.

lol yeah. I think it only make sense if you have an intel platform and want to use the caching with a giant hard drive.

That only applies to the tiny cache M.2 drives which nobody should buy.

You can get full optane drives now that are just regular SSDs.

caching was regarding the optane memory modules.

Dont confuse the optane memory with the optane SSDs.

 

Technically, there were some that used the optane memory modules as caching devices for FreeNAS (zfs storage) because Linux (and the like) just see the memory modules as storage.

 

Also found a  youtube video where one guy was using the optane memory module as the OS drive for ESXi.

Optane makes zero sense to me now. It might be smart if you needed larger files to be quickly accessed, but with my 5400rpm HDD, everything loads super fast imo. And no, I've never had an SSD.

Nonono, I'd love to have an SSD, what didn't make sense was that they used the name "Optane" for both the cache and SSD drives, because I've only ever heard of there being Optane cache and Intel SSDs, not Optane SSDs.

Intel Optane memory is extremely durable. It'll outlast a regular SSD by decades, if not longer.

You're just out of the loop then. Which frankly isn't surprising considering you didn't know which company X399 belonged to.

I haven't been following much news on things that I wouldn't need, but to be fair, Intel has X99, while AMD has X399. Meanwhile, both of them have other 300 series chipsets, so I'm sure I'm not the first one to think about it.
