Intel Optane

[Kratos123]

I'M building a new PC for that I want fast Storage I heard that Getting Optane is better then SSD for high capacity storage but I'm having an i3-8th gen and the description for Optane shows its for 7th Gen CPU

They are fast but costly too And I want to save so bucks for my Graphics Card but I will consider ur Opinion SSD is Fast

In the required section of the Intel Optane site it states:

Quote

7th Generation (or newer) Intel® Core™ Processor.

So if you have a 8th gen CPU you will be just fine.  To take full advantage of Optane you should use it with a hard drive. This way you can save and still get great capacity

So um, yeah, buy a full sized SSD instead of an Optane module. Put your OS and most commonly played games on the SATA SSD, and everything else on the HDD. A SATA boot SSD will be faster than an Optane module if you regularly access more than the amount of data the Optane module has capacity for, and honestly, provides 2-3x the speed over an HDD anyway.
