I remember working on Optane back in the day. Very cool technology and wish that Apache Pass had taken off.

for sale: Intel Optane (R) Persistent Memory, never used

I'm an Intel Optane Democrat

I'm running that Xeon Phi. I'm running that 3D Xpoint. I descend a gradient by crushing that shit flat. Stuntin on the opps with my Optane Memory subsystem

Gladly using two 16GB Optane M.2s in my home lab as boot drives

koko need 1.5tb intel optane ssd. practical koko ramdisk ssd

racking a raspi 5 with optane just to feel something

god i fuckin miss optane

Just maybe - Intel and Micron shouldn't have killed Optane. Just saying...

this is your LAST warning to buy used optane drives while they are still cheap



No modern SSD comes close.



In 2 years you’ll be telling people about the time you could have bought alien technology for pennies but didn’t.

- Chinese X99 motherboard (excellent)
- 20-core Xeon E5-2630
- 64 GB RAM + 32 GB swap on Optane
- 2.5 Gbit ethernet
- 3840 GB of NVMe cache

all in a *tiny* and more importantly quiet envelope

Retvrn but for intel optane

"Lombardi said the pre and post-Optane performance was comparable."

I'm glad to see post-Optane DAOS trucking along, but this begs the question: what good was Optane doing in the first place if removing it doesn't impact performance? What resilience tradeoffs will now be realized?

I'm still not over her. 😭

The layers in the stack this belongs in cross ddr and pci and u.2 form factors.

Optane, it wasn't you, the world just didn't understand you.
A requiem for Optane, Intel's KV cache killer that could have eased the RAM price crunch
With microscopic latencies and otherworldly write endurance, it was perfect for today's AI workloads – but gone before they arrived

ugh I forgot about optane. alternate universe current gen optane would go _nuts_ with local llms

yeah fuck it why not optane drive for 9 bucks

Did any of you get a Star Citizen Sabre Raven with an Intel Optane SSD?

I wonder what it's like in the alternate universe where they still make optane.

What’s weird to me is that optane could have gone faster than a x4 NVMe bus, but when companies started scaling to x8 they just slapped two NAND controllers on it and glued two NAND SSDs together. Optane was marginally faster than NAND on a x4 bus, but the margins were too slim to market.

what if they still made intel optane memory
