Intel’s first Optane SSD: 375GB that you can also use as RAM

I don't know. I feel like instead of reducing memory tiers Optane will only add another layer in the stack. It is still 10x slower than DRAM, which sounds quite significant. Besides, I'm not sure if persistence is really the most important aspect of storage anyways, especially with modern-day always-on clustered systems.

Here here. 12 factor has taken us out of the age where this should matter. Don't drag us back and tell me disk is as good as memory now.
