Optane memory?

[Cyber-Mav]

Noticed these m10 16gb optane drives go for 4 quid these days and still seem to have good 1T 4k performance and low latency.
Iv ordered some to test if they are ok to replace a ram drive with which is used for browser cache.
With dram and nand going up in price though it may be time to experiment with alternatives.
Has anyone else used optane as just a regular drive and not in it's cache form?

Yes thinking the same way to use in my mini pc router.
Can also disable the 8gb ram drive I have and use 16gb optane for that duty.

Well as cheap as they are it's atleast something to play with
