  4. I'm certainly not a techy, but I thought I'd tell you that I recently bought an Alienware R6 with Optane memory. It has all the good stuff, a 2 TB hard drive, an i7-7700 liquid cooled cpu and Intel 1080 video card, etc. And so far, it appears to be everything I want or need. It functions beautifully in that it boots quickly and loads my regularly used programs at what seems to be an ever quicker pace each time I use them. Of course, it is still extremely new for me so this may just be my imagination, but I do love my new system! Thank you so much for your channel as you've answered many of my questions and taught me a lot, all while being very entertaining to boot... pun intended.

  18. Son built his first PC & selected the 32GB Optane to work with a 4TB WD black HHD. You need to press F6 during Win10 install to setup the HDD in GPT mode then format as one big drive space. After your system is fully operational, windows & drivers all installed, then install the Optane driver and enable it- not before. Note: it takes a long time for the Optane to populate its memory so be patient! We achieved a consistent boot time of less than 15 seconds & apps should load up to 90% faster AFTER they have been run for the first time. The intel & Gigabyte docos are terrible so ignore them, they’ll just confuse you. Good Luck! It’s worth it.

  19. I just bought 1 terabyte ssd and it's enought space for games and other files. For now

  20. I purchased the 16GB model, not realizing that it could not accelerate a RAID volume, and I use it for my page file instead. In some sense, I'm running a hybrid memory model wherein half of my memory is slower and less expensive.

  21. hi there,

  22. Could you use Optane on a SSHD Firecuda???

  23. I'm using Gigabyte Mainboard, Gaming B8, and my CPU is i5-7600. I tried everything, but my Mainboard didnt enable my Optane 32GB. Can you help me?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Buy a regular new gen 3D $$D with more GB and what another hdd drive. Optane makes you buy intel product i3 i5 i7 and intel motherboard maybe new rams.
