Yeah if you're going that route. It's better to have 64GB or 128GB for server class of DDR4 and then hack the OS to boot off the Ramdrive using an image. Then not even NVMe can touch the speed of...

That wasn't clear from the article I posted earlier. But yeah, if so, that's enough for a linux NAS boot drive.

I have the 250m Pro-vd and there is an overclocking section in the bios. So, no with a Pentium or a Celeron but surely an unlocked I5/I7 would be able to.
Hah. If you have been shopping for a...

Was hoping to pick up an inexpensive CPU with this for a cheap build. To work with octane you need 7th gen intel cpu? Most inexpensive 7th generation CPU is what? $200? Pass on this :-(

If it was $15-$20 No MIR I'd get it just to play around with the 16GB module or adapt it to a SATA instead but you easily find 16GB SSDs for about $7 a piece in bulk. These should be really be at...

Its a cheaper alternative. It can make a 2 TB 7200 RPM drive feel a lot more like a 2 TB SSD, without the ridiculous price of a 2TB SSD

I have a HTPC. The OS drive is a SSD and I have a 3TB spinner with an old SSD as an Intel RST cache. It works just about as well as my SSD directly for gaming.

For PiHole, it uses very little resource, I actually run it on a Seagate dockstar with only 128MB memory. The same Dockstar is also an NFS server for two Rpi3Bs root file system.

I like the *idea* of Optane. In practice it's not exactly that viable, since it requires 7th generation (7xxx) CPUs or newer to actually function. So it's not an option to speed up an older...
