- jeffbee 4y agoYeah but that’s not the byte-addressable looks-exactly-like-DRAM stuff the article is going on about.
- madisp 4y agowhat do you mean? the disk only has optane, there's no NAND or anything behind it like some of the lower end Optane SSDs.
- donavanm 4y agoOptane is/was sold as pcie/nvme block devices. I use that for durability compared to TLC flash. It was also sold as DRAM format hanging off a memory controller and presented as (magically persistent) pages/bytes to the os/application. Theyre different price points.
