Optane 101: Memory or storage? Yes
But what exactly is Optane, and what is it good for?
• Optane is a new Intel technology that blurs the traditional lines between DRAM memory and NAND flash storage.
• Optane DC SSDs provide super-fast data caching and agile system expansion.
• Capacity up to 512GB per persistent memory module; configurable for persistent or volatile operation; for applications that emphasize high capacity and low latency over raw throughput
• Strong contender for data centers; future for clients. Costs and advantages are case-specific, impacted by DRAM prices. Early user experience still emerging.
