[SOLVED] Are twin turbo m.2 slots on MSI MPG Z390 best used with 2 sticks of intel optane memory?

I recently bought this motherboard and a stick of Intel Optane memory. I realize it says that it has 2 m.2 slots and I've never had a board with 2 m.2 slots on it. Is this best that I use 1 Intel Optane and an SSD for additional storage, 2 Intel Optane memory sticks or to just use SSD for them. I am interested in having a fast boot and I don't play many games. I do play a little bit, but the PC is mostly used for online business types of things. I mainly would like a fast boot and whatever can speed up load times in anything else I use.

Optane on top of an SSD isn't much good.
You're giving up a M.2 port for no benefit.

if i used 2 16gb optane cards would i get additional benefit v.s. using traditional SSD?

No.
1 or 2 actual NVMe drives in those ports would be MUCH better.

Okay, thanks for the guidance.
