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.
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.
Maybe Optane SSD are more likely to break from power surges and static electricity compared to SSD with a plastic case, or RAM sticks which may use higher quality micro chips. I seen some very old RAM sticks which still work reliably on old Windows XP and 2000, ME, 98 computers which are over 10 years old.

I still don't think they are related to SSD, all stores list optane under the RAM memory stats.
