AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the performance of the internal memory. They say that it makes a huge difference to the responsive speed, and the performance boost was worth more than the 20 bucks they paid. They also mention that the computer is booting and running much faster, and that the results are amazing.
"...And it's fast. Very VERY fast." Read more
"...The product acts as a fast, low-latency caching drive that uses a combination of hardware and software to intelligently cache frequently accessed..." Read more
"...DayZ, H1Z1, and a few others, the map's "chunks" loaded in much faster than without...." Read more
"...NO : If you are building a PC this will not make an SSD any faster for you, There is little to no improvements it brings to your SSD...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of installation of the internal memory. Some mention it was a very straight forward install, while others say that it was difficult to install and took a long time to configure software. Some customers also mention that the installation process was weird and it's not obvious which installers they need or don't need. Overall, the opinions are mixed, and it is recommended to read the installation instructions carefully before installing the product.
"...Still, installation wasn't too involved and on the computer I built it reduced boot times to something like 4 seconds; not bad at all in my book...." Read more
"...NO : This M.2 is not NVMe, it is PCIe.NO : This is not a plug-and-play chip!..." Read more
"...resources, however once you have the basics down, this installation really isn't too bad...." Read more
"...Yes, I had it cloned but like I said the process is tedious and time consuming and any 3d nand is just as fast or faster...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the internal memory. Some mention that the Samsung SSD makes it well worth the price, while others say that the perform is terrible and it's a waste of their time.
"...server installation, this handles that in spades and for a very reasonable price point.And it's fast. Very VERY fast." Read more
"...so there is no point in getting a refund but my god is it such a waste of my time!..." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
And it's fast. Very VERY fast.
There are serious limitations you should understand going in. First, it won't work great in all cases, such as when you are working with very large files. Second, you need to match the Optane product to a newer Intel chipset motherboard specifically designed to use Optane. And third, you can only use Optane with your primary HDD; it won't work with drive arrays that I'm aware of.
Still, installation wasn't too involved and on the computer I built it reduced boot times to something like 4 seconds; not bad at all in my book. If you are looking to build a basic-ish computer and want a decent amount of storage but have a limited budget, I would seriously consider Optane.
If you do not have a compatible motherboard, buy the P1600X instead.
Fine, my fault here, I should have done my homework in reading carefully Intel page about the Optane Memory Module (go to the FAQ). Although it can accelerate a SSD the gain is not high enough to justify its price. If I knew that already, I would have chosen to buy a bigger SSD rather then spend money on the Optane.
Nevertheless, despite all the frustration (once again, I think that was 80% my fault), what really makes this a three star review is the installation process: while reading Intel's website and watching their tutorials makes you think it's a "plug & play" process, it is not! Already have your Windows up and running? 99% chance that you'll need to format your PC, so be prepare to back up everything you have.
There are several guidelines that you need to follow: your disk should be formates as GPT (MBR is not allowed), you need to have at least 5MB of non-allocated memory in your disk as part of the installation. Oh, and your BIOS should probably be updated and customised with a few tweaks to properly access the Optane Module. And how do you know that? Google + Youtube (users video, the Intel one doesn't give you much information). On top of all that you will need a lot, really, a lot, seriously, a looooot of patience.
Bottom of line: seems that Intel came up with a good idea for on budget people who doesn't want to spend a lot of money in bigger SSDs, but rather accelerate their HDD. That's awesome, but still, the lack of clear information of how the memory can be used (go to the FAQ before buying it) and also the misleading "simple installation" idea are frustrating. Once you get pass this obstacles, the equipment does what it should do: accelerate you HDD or your SSD (barely perceptible for the last one).
