Intel Optane Memory on 6th gen?

[taatong1]

hi, I would like to know if the intel optane memory would work on 6th generation processor?
I heard that it works for some.

i have the i5-4609k on z97 motherboard

Nope. Only on the Z270 and above. I know it sucks for a lot of people.

I don't think that stops you from using RST though, so you could get a regular SSD and set it up in the same fashion. This whole thing has its roots with Ready Boost, so you could also use a thumb drive.

Do you think i should get one or would it be a waste of money? bcse i have a samsung evo 840 ssd to run with

are you getting a new pc? cause it is NOT going to work on your current PC.

Depends on what you are using it for. If the SSD is already formatted and in use, then no. My understanding with RST is that you can take any fast storage and tell it to act as cache for another slower drive. Basically turns any drive into a hybrid drive when you mix an SSD with a standard hard drive.

Samsung also offers their Magician software? Might have the name wrong, but it lets you use system ram as a cache for Samsung SSDs.

Presumably the same could be done with RST using a RAM drive.

Basically comes down to how much performance you are expecting out of a given drive and if it is meeting your needs. Not really much you can do about drive reads from source hard drives, this would mostly be about writes and actual workloads.

If you are just using a HDD as bulk storage for games or media, then it probably won't make a huge difference.
