Review on πŸš€ Enhance Performance with Intel Optane Memory M10 16GB PCIe M.2 80mm by David Dugas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not easy to set up but very happy with the results

Requires a clean install to install. I don't think you can enable Optane on a system you're already running. Also, you have to jump through some hoops; For example, with at least 5MB of unallocated disk space - you need to format the drive and leave some free space at the end, I think this also requires Win10. DEF read the user manual (which I had to look up online as it wasn't in the box) before doing anything with this product. BUT once you've got everything set up and activated, there's a distinctly noticeable difference. in starting speed. And because the software learns what you use the most, it should only get better with time! The real benefit of this technology is that you get some of the speed of the SSD, but if it dies you lose absolutely nothing.

Pros
  • Great choice
Cons
  • Hard to tell
