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?
 
I’ve got like 5 of those drives and I’m sure that they work fine as a non cache drive but they are tiny and most operating systems these days require much more storage space.

Great for a NAS or Firewall OS with 2 Optane drives used in a RAID 1 setup.
 
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.
 
Tempted to pick up a pair to try in my Synology as Cache and repurpose the larger NVME that I have in there at the minute
