      NVME IS 2Gb/s faster and has permanent storage. DDR5 RAM has bandwidth of 32-64GB/s while optane has 4GB/s. Optane also can't store stuff permanently. This is just like those weird Intel professors arcs they made that turned out to be bad

    • @TheNaz01
      @TheNaz01 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      optane memory is NOT as fast as ram when it comes to latency; rendering standard memory still relevant. Dont chuck your dimms out yet, optane is just very good at bridging memory and standard hardrive disks for legacy user(which was always its intended purpose due to intel owning it). The teck wont replace standard memory anytime soon since it is proprietary and must compete with the open market.

  • @Bonjour-World
    @Bonjour-World 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    From the information I have been reading the Optane cache is in reality a small NVMe drive and the Intel Software 'concatenates' its to the hard disk. Then the software manages which files are actually store on the Optane portion of the drive. So the questions I have are:
    1) does optane cache writes as well as reads ... performance I have seen during Windows updates indicates it does not
    2) is Intel Optane really faster than NVMe drives like the Crucial P1
    3) The overhead of the Intel software has to significant as well
    4) Optane Cache can speed up hard disk access on older computer with a mechanical hard drive but if you can not use it on older computers then what is the point?
    In the end the only 'advantage' to Intel RST is that one can only run a Microsoft Operating system and the only ones that benefit are Microsoft.
    Linus, this video may be a bit dated but you need a 'real world' comparison between Optane Cache and NVMe drives to really "learn all about it".

      Linus tested the optane on his other channel. The only thing it did was make a HDD work as fast as an SSD, but barely made any change to the SSD.
      By the end of the testing, Linus himself said the same thing: for now, considering the availability of this product, what it changes within your system, and the platform required to run it (only Intel stuff with kabylake, nothing AMD), you're better off buying an SSD instead.

      I'd have to disagree with you on that, Intel is selling 16gb versions of this at or around 50USD, and I can see this being a nice cheap way to make newer cheap laptops/All in ones have SSD like performance while still putting a cheap but large HDD inside them. From that perspective, I'd say Intel is positioning this in the consumer market as a cheap solution to make a newer PC "Faster". I think PCper came to the same conclusion as that too in their coverage of the product. I can see it now, 399USD computers with an extra fancy sticker saying "Intel Optane Inside", Demo station setup just to turn on and off and show people how much faster these new computers are. The sheeple will eat that up all day. Going in Mac computers for sure, and the'll say they invented it, then jack the price for a 16gb drive to like 200USD.

      I see I didn't make it clear I was talking about newer computers, intel to be more exact. So for clarity, i was referencing that OEM's would be putting these in Z270 or newer chipset computers and laptops. As a cheap way to make them seem like a better buy over a computer with a good SSD in it.

    The consumer market for this is virtually non-existent. Any buying those boards and CPUs would hopefully NEVER consider a spindle drive as their OS drive therefore making this product pointless as it ONLY caches the OS drive. Now if it were opened up to any platform they MIGHT get some older systems to benefit but it sounds like their market is corporate cloud servers etc. The benefits to typical home users would be negligible over just an SSD HDD. A spindle drive in a properly configured system is used for storage, not the OS making this product utterly useless for 99.99% of the consumer market meeting their prerequisites. IE waste of money.

      It learns what you frequently use from your storage and holds the best required data in itself for your CPU to access them more easily due to it being faster than normal storage solution specially Hard Drives. A regular storage is required but it smartly stores the best part of it to reduce latency and increase performance in your most frequent tasks.
      In a nutshell, it just makes things smoother.

If I stored the video on an m.2 optane cache that might fit but I'm concerned about how long the data lasts. I could just put it on a thumbstick. But then the question above all is really how can I access the video from the butt port. I honestly don't know what kind of compatibility I've got down there. I always thought of it as an output device anyways but I'm open to new ideas.
