Review: Intel Optane supercharges SSHD. - Intel Optane made my PC lightning fast. I have Windows 10 (64 bit) installed on an SSHD hybrid drive. Because the hybrid drives are faster than ordinary hard drives I didn't expect much improvement with Optane. However, I am truly surprised at how fast Windows 10 now boots, it's almost instant. Also other startup programs now load at boot time almost instantly too. Only down side was that I had a dual boot system with Ubuntu on a second hard drive. After installing Optane, Ubuntu disappeared. To be fair Intel do warn about adverse side effects of installing Optane on a dual boot system. Apart from the dual boot OS factor, Optane is a real performance boost for the whole system, and a lot cheaper than buying an SSD. It's easy to install the Optane card too. Intel have anOptane card video install how-to on their site, which I found the easiest to follow (much easier than wading through the pdf written install how-to). Just make sure your PC meets all the minimum requirements for Optane (also listed on Intel's site), and follow the instructions to the letter. Remember to backup any data on any additional OS you have installed (in a dual boot system) before installing Optane.
Review: Finally doing what it should - This was very close to being a 1-star review, in fact I'd started writing it a couple of days ago. Intel didn't advertise that the module would only speed up the boot drive of a system, rendering it pretty useless to a large proportion of potential users. The normal use case for such a device would be in a system with a small SSD boot drive and a large mechanical secondary drive which could do with the acceleration. But as of today they finally released v16 of the Optane/RST drives enabling secondary drive acceleration. In my particular build, it makes quite a bit of difference. Whilst the write speed is pretty much as it was, the read speed has increased from 120MB/s to around 900MB/s. Games load almost instantly (after they've made it into the cache). Be aware though that this semi-permanently pairs with one of your drives and if either the device or drive goes, you lose your data. I don't foresee this being a particular problem though as the device montiors itself for issues and will warn if anything untoward is happening, giving you a chance to disable it. Overall, a very nice bit of kit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have an m.2 as my bootdrive and 2x2tb mechanical for my game storage. Can I setup the 2 mechs and the optane in raid to speed up game loading times?**
A: No, because Optane memory is already an invisible RAID setup with the hard drive you attach it to. It wouldnt let you attach it to hard drives already in RAID.

**Q: Is this compatible with intel core i5 10600, msi z490 tomahawk, corsair vengance pro rgb 32gb 3000mhz, 2.5 inch 1tb ssd, 2tb hdd**
A: Preface this not a expert but there should be a connector for it on the MB as long as you are not using it for your Solid state memory and you are actually using solid state as a disk as you say. However since you do have a SSD and assuming you are running your OS and games from that an Optane chip is unlikely to speed up your computer much or indeed noticeable. It works as a buffer for the much slower mechanical hard drives leaving frequently accessed data in there so the second time you access it then it is quicker. If you are using an SSD anyhow for your OS games then there will not be a speed boost or not noticable.

**Q: Can install optane (16ggb) if os is on a hssd (128gb + 1t) ?**
A: https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/support/articles/000023989/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html, read this carfully first, it can be done i installed opatne with my os on a hssd of 500gb

**Q: Whats the purpose of this? im building a pc very soon can i use only ssd's? or must i have a hdd to use this? will it benefit me if im only using ssd'**
A: This accelerates boot and program loading times when used in conjunction with an hdd. You need to setup a RAID configuration.
In saying that, I had major issues with this setup and Windows 10. I did not use it.
Install your OS on a SSD and use a HDD for storage.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Pain to setup but works as intended.
*by K***N on 5 January 2019*

Damn was this thing a pain in the ass to setup, It works as it is supposed to and is amazing, but you have to have some patience as you may have to fiddle around with a few settings in the computers bios. The setup took forever and that's why i'm giving it 3 stars.
