I'm planning to buy Intel Optane, do i still need to buy an SSD or just buy HDD, can intel optane boost my SSD?
 
Solution
Just buy a SSD and forget about Optane. Optane is only good for boosting performance on a HDD, but you are better of just to get a SSD.
A SSD will be fast on all your data, the Optane+HDD will only be fast if the data you need is in the Optane cache.


Agreed, however our devs are hard at work on other more pressing issues ATM. Hopefully we can get some sort of automatic quote deletion system in eventually. But we're derailing this thread, if you have more forum feedback, please feel free to go here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum-12.html
