>It's just as fast as an SSD! Is the SSD they're

>>62308349
just as fast ain't good enough

>>62308349
why the hell would it matter if the ssd is full or empty
did I just get baited

>>62308362
Nigga are you joking? Load times increase as an SSD fills

>>62308443
Why would read times be affected, I thought it was only write times slow down for partially full blocks.

We've got a mathematician here, folks.

from the second paragraph:
>A nearly full solid-state drive will have much slower write operations, slowing down your computer.
honestly I don't know why any non-business consumer would give a flying fuck about write performance anyways

You can fill an SSD with as much shit as you want and it will still run circles around a HDD. Don't believe Intel look at any one of the millions of reviews of it.

>You can fill a good SSD
Fixed. I have an adata SSD, and it is much slower on reads now that it's nearly full.

Found the issue

Glad we agree.

Optane does have benefits but Intel is fucking retarded. Optane is faster than flash at low queue depths and would be very useful in desktops....if they offered it in a less idiotic capacity.

Wasn't this shit supposed to be like 5x faster than SATA SSDs? That's what the marketing propaganda expressed anyways. Better density and more durable too, while being lower latency than NAND flash, which is kinda unimportant for storage, but could potentially integrate itself into the RAM market as a supplementary measure for certain platforms and processes.

I was way too excited for it, actually waiting for its release before I built my current desktop speculating that it'd either lower SSD prices or have a reasonable release price itself. Turns out it was a super expensive garbage fire.
