With IOPS comparable to DRAM having used for a boot drive for a Ubuntu 22.10 server, It makes operating system, cache, and programs extremely snappy, like if there where all running from a ram disk.

Good if you’re going to use it with a single hard drive, but for nothing else
Truth is I just bought it for the wrong purpose. I was hoping to use it in a raid array, and it just is not going to work for that. It’s the same thing as their Optane storage but Intel refuses to allow it to be used in a raid array as storage because it’s part of their memory line.

Great cache drive
Worked right away when I installed it in my NAS as a cache drive.
