I saw this threading some dark corner of the interweb : credits to the original poster

I made a discovery regarding an undocumented feature of Optane cache that you might find interesting. It turns out that the U.2 900P SSDs works with Optane caching software and can be used in combination with a large SATA SSD to create a boot drive with both top of the line performance and capacity.

My initial question to Intel and subsequent discoveries are posted here on Intel Communities:

I found this thread looking for my original post about it.

 

I'm trying to get at least one major tech channel to cover it so people know that it is an option.

 

The system this is running on has been up now for a few weeks and has been through a cumulative update without issue.

 

There seems to be no negative side effects from this setup and the performance is outstanding.

I posted a clip of the system booting over at guru3d:
