[SOLVED] Intel optane M10 16GB is a 16GB "ram" or "memory to keep data"?

Hi, it was given to me a intel optane 16GB M.2 module...
Its to put on board as a disk or as a "ram"?
I have a hard drive with windows and ram on my desktop, just add the Intel optane in a m.2 slot?
Nedd to configure something ot it kust will work by itself?
Thanks

The Optane modules were created to provide cache storage for disk subsystems.
You might be able to use it like that. What CPU/Motherboard do you have ?

If you have SSDs then Optane isn't very useful. If you have a spinning disk, then you can use the Optane as a cache -- https://redmondmag.com/articles/2021/01/25/windows-10-for-intel-optane.aspx

What do you use the hard drive for?

You can use the Optane for non-OS drive, but depending on what is on that drive, it may just be a waste of time.

You could use optane drive for placing swapfile on it.
It can sustain quite a high amount of writes.
