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.

I think Optane is made with SSD storage chip, but acts as RAM.

possibly:

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.

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.

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.

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.
