I don't think there is any optane ssd? Optane is a type of ram that is used to speed up HDDs, if I understand its concept right.froggyboy604 wrote:I think there is Intel Optane small size SSD which can improve the speed of computers with hard drives. Hopefully, 16GB of RAM becomes more affordable when Windows 11 is released.
When do you think Windows 11 will be released?

I think Optane is made with SSD storage chip, but acts as RAM.Skeithex wrote: I don't think there is any optane ssd? Optane is a type of ram that is used to speed up HDDs, if I understand its concept right.

but just seems like fancy RAM to me, which sadly a lot of PCs can't really handle it well.

I think Optane maybe good for people who installed the maximum amount of RAM which their motherboard and CPU can support. Some newer motherboards can only have a maximum of 16GB of RAM.Skeithex wrote:

I seen some shopping sites call Intel Optane a SSD instead of RAM. I think Intel Optane does not lose your data once you shutdown your computer. But, with RAM, the data in your RAM is gone once you restart or shutdown your PC.

I think they call it SSD because they don't know how else to explain it, its hard for me to explain to pc shoppers sometimes.froggyboy604 wrote:I think Optane maybe good for people who installed the maximum amount of RAM which their motherboard and CPU can support.

I feel explaining SSD to regular users can be hard, so explaining a new form of RAM can be harder.
I think Optane will not really be popular with users who mainly use web browsers, and MS Office.

Re: When do you think Windows 11 will be released?
it is very hard to explain, I just try and dumb it down as new and speed. Though I've noticed a lot of machines that use it end up having failing problems.
