My brother is fifteen. He got it to work and loves what it does for him.
Size: 16GB
Alright, so, I got this for my brother as he wanted it for Christmas. His computer is built with a hybrid drive that stores all of his data and after configuring the drivers in the BIOS, the Intel Optane produced a noticeable difference in loading things. For one, he was able to launch games and applications faster. For two, on large map games like PUBG, Fortnite, DayZ, H1Z1, and a few others, the map's "chunks" loaded in much faster than without. The device seems to be most compatible with DDR3 and up boards, but it will not improve your performance much if you have a performance hard drive like a WD Black or an SSD as your storage medium. If your board runs something higher than DDR3 RAM, then the Optane will produce less noticeable results. It should also be noted that every board is different and every bios configuration is different. Some people do not have the experience or skills to setup this device correctly, although you can learn how. Said people are often the ones who leave bad reviews and answer questions with "I couldn't get this to work." As another side note, the Intel Optane is not a replacement for RAM or more permanent storage mediums. You still need the hard drive(s) and/or SSD(s) in your computer. Actually just used this to answer a question, but thought you all should see it. ... show more

Worth the cost and get the job done for TrueNas Scale

Got two of these as a boot drive for TrueNas Scale, work great and the cost together was less than 50usd. I'm happy.

Cache drives in a Synology NAS
Size: 16GB
I'm using a pair of these small but fast SSDs as cache drives for my Synology NAS. The Synology OS uses one for write caching and one for read caching. This makes transferring lots of small files much faster than before. While these drives are not on Synology's official compatibility list, I've heard from other Synology users who have also had success with these drives. At their current price, it is worth it! Edit: Upon update to the latest Synology software, one of the cache drives was either unsupported or died. This caused a major issue that required a complete reinstall of the Synology software on my NAS. Fortunately, this did not lose any of my data but did require that I re-install all my packages and re-configure everything. It could have been worse. ... show more

A must have for gamers playing games stored in an HDD
Size: 16GB
I have a 512GB M.2 SSD as my primary drive and a 4TB HDD where I store all my games. I purchased this 16GB Intel Optante cache drive without having any expectations. At the current price (around $30), it was almost an impulse buy. Since I got this drive for gaming I thought 16GB wouldn't be enough to make a noticeable difference, but boy was I wrong. The speed improvement really cannot be overstated. All of my games load much quicker, especially when you die and reload or play the same game over and over. It's much faster than my SSD in fact. In one game in particular (Rising Storm 2), I loaded into the training area, went back to the menus to tweak some settings, and when I went back into the training map, it was nearly instant - I mean like 1 - 2 seconds loading time. Without the cache drive it took 10 - 20 seconds minimum. This is an amazing technology, I'm very pleased with my purchase, of you play games off of a mechanical hard drive, I'd consider this a necessity. The 16GB Intel Optante drive made a huge difference in loading times for me. ... show more

I will update if i ever get it to work.
Size: 16GB
WARNING!!! This chip is for HDD, not SSD! This chip AND program has been fighting me since day 1! I got it for crazy cheap so there is no point in getting a refund but my god is it such a waste of my time! I'm understanding at this point in my installation experience that this is a pre-build add on. that is the BIGGEST confusion that I have come across. over HUNDREDS of help posts in hundreds of forums and I still have not found an answer to my problem. So I'm going to try to make this review as easy as possible to understand! NO : This chip is for the building process of your PC, NOT for a PC that is already running an operating system!! NO : If you are building a PC this will not make an SSD any faster for you, There is little to no improvements it brings to your SSD. YES : Building a PC with a very big Hard Disc Drive(HDD) will make it feel like you are running off of a Solid State Drive(SSD). NO : Although I have found forums stating that an update was done to the software, I am still not able to get a secondary Hard Drive to work with this chip. YES : The M.2 slot DOES interfere with your SSD in a way that makes it unbootable if you don't have the right BIOS setting preset. I have no idea how but I read it's because the M.2 port runs on the SATA connection so the Optane chip interrupts the SSD and the SSD doesn't fight, it just stops communicating. It doesn't damage anything as I know of, it only stops communication on boot up, not while it's running. YES : You need to update your BIOS in order to support this chip as it is a program much like RAID in a way that makes it a pain in the *** to get running properly. YES : I am almost certain you need to mess around with Command Prompt in order to get your system to recognize the chip, program, and run the Optane smart storage manager properly. NO : This M.2 is not NVMe, it is PCIe. NO : This is not a plug-and-play chip! You NEED to know how an operating system works and you will have your patience tested many times over! YES : You need to touch your motherboard in order to get the Optane chip connected and you need a small but long and preferably magnetic Phillips screwdriver. (Mine DID NOT come with hardware but as I said, I got this secondhand and YES the chip/Hardware is working fine) YES : 7th gen Intel CPU is what this is supported by and that doesn't mean i7's, I am using an i5 and I am understanding that my CPU is supported even though I can't get it to work with my HDD. I think I covered everything I came across so far and hope I help you with your purchase of the Intel Optane Memory M10 16 GB PCIe M.2 80mm. ... show more

Intel Optane M.2 — Speed That Feels Instant!

Installed this Intel Optane 16GB module back in 2020, and it completely transformed my PC’s performance. Super-fast boot times, quick file access, and still running flawlessly years later. One of the best upgrades I’ve ever made!

Excelente producto pero debes saber esto, antes de comprar
Size: 16GB
Es un increible producto, cambio el comportamiento del disco duro ( Me refiero a los discos duros de platos los de baja velocidad), acelera la carga de informacion del disco duro, hizo que mi disco duro de baja velocidad se comporta mejor que un SSD , optane es un intermediario entre el disco duro o SSD y almacena los ulitmos 16GB utilizados,(esta accion la hace demanera desatendida, sin que debamos hacer nada, lo hace completamente debajo del sistema) Debes de leer la guia de como se configura e instalar el software, que se descarga en la pagina de intel, no debes usarlo como disco duro, cuando el sistema optane esta correctamente instalado, no es visible como unidad de disco/almacenamiento, simplemente no se ve, algo super importante es que debes hacer ingresar a la BIOS de tu equipo y cambiar la configuracion de tu administrador de disco duro a tipo RAID, si no sabes que es RAID es simplemente dividir la carga de informacion en dos o mas discos de almacenamiento y esto permite acceder a ambos discos como si fuese uno solo, lo que hace esto es dividir toda informacion , pero en realidad preriza la informacion al disco SSD de optane y despues cuando esta ya no es requerida se entrega lentamente al disco duro que es mas lento , pero al hacer la lectura es como si el optane se quedara con una copia, de la primera lectura del disco duro y cualquier consulta de los ultimos 16 GB utilizados se mantienen el el SSD entregando la informacion realmente rapido, si tu equipo tiene mas de 8GB de te recomentaria comprar mejor el optane de 32GB ya que esto significa que tu equipo utilizara mas memoria de lo que el optane puede mantener de los archivos recientes. PRECAUCION si tienes la funcion de hibernar en uso, cada vez que mandes a hibernar el equipo, el sistema guardara la informacion de la RAM en el disco duro, pero esto hara que los ulitmos 16 GB de archivos recientemente utilizados, se pierdan, optante funciona muy bien, repite si las actividades que realizas, no utilizan una carga demandante de informacion del disco duro no supera los 16 GB, yo lo veo un producto maravilloso, siempre y cuando tu actividades en el equipo no supere 16 GB de lectura de archivos, es ideal para juegos, diseño, y ingenieria, pero no para edicion de video, por que por lo general la edicon de video utiliza mucho disco duro, para eso mejor usa el tamaño adecuado de disco duro como la version de 32 GB ... show more

Slow write throughput
Size: 16GB
The intended use for this product is as a caching device in front of a desktop hard drive. It's fine for that application and it lives up to its promises. I had purchased it to use as a SLOG device in a ZFS array not knowing the sustained write throughput is limited to about 150MB/s. Not fast enough so I sent it back. The 58G model is great for this but when did it become so expensive? ... show more
