Tell me about it...
Was just too expensive compared to flash.
But the tech was definitely awesome and I hope it'll come back in one way or another.
When designing CedarDB, we recently had multiple instances where we thought: "If we had just a few KiB of Optane here ... "
- ssl-3 2y agoOh, it's amazing. I use a small chunk of it at home for ZIL, even though my synch writes are few and far between. It's just approximately the Right Thing to use for some things, and I had room for it, and it was rather inexpensive when I bought it. :) 10/10, would recommend and buy again. (Whoops!)
- ComputerGuru 2y agoI have various generations of optane I stocked up on for my own small business and home lab use, and fully agree. I don’t know if you’re aware but Samsung introduced their own version of optane just shortly before Intel killed their product line. It was called Samsung Z and it was prohibitively expensive for some reason, but I didn’t hear that it was officially killed off (though it likely has been).

- the8472 2y agoIf it's just a few KiB then various NVRAM techs have been slowly creeping forward for decades. But they've never made it to datacenter storage. https://www.avalanche-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/1Gb-8Gb-Parallel-MRAM_SG-3V-x32-Y-05_020_2024.pdf https://www.avalanche-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/1Gb-... https://www.everspin.com/spin-transfer-torque-ddr-products https://www.everspin.com/spin-transfer-torque-ddr-products
- Dylan16807 2y agoDoes an SSD with power loss protection achieve the same level of performance, or is optane still better? Are you taking the durability into account when you say kilobytes?
