I love Optane tech.

It died too young.

Look on the bright side: enterprises will be dumping lots of cheap Optane memory modules for low prices on eBay. Should you be running a pre-Emerald Rapids system, it’s a cheap upgrade to obscene amounts of “RAM.”

I already bought my share of Optane SSD's, enough to last me a life time.

Oh no, not that slow stuff. I meant the DIMM form factor Optanes.

But that’s quite an understatement; they might outlive you. 😂

Love my 900p I have two 2933 128gb optane here... but now I have a slow desktop cpu... I want some new xeon machine in the future.

I hope we see a 'DIMM-drive' equivalent for Optane DIMMs - like were available for RAM sticks - at some point. Optane itself still has better mixed random read/write performance than even recent NVMe SSDs, and a pile of cheap surplus Optane DIMMs in a carrier would make for a very potent drive for all workloads other than serial large-file copying.

That's the idea, I want "Ultra-Low Latency" that Optane SSD's offer, sadly regular NAND Flash can't provide due to it's inherent design.
