Re:Optane Memory – A bridge between DRAM and storage

Its pretty crap for the consumer market. Your typical MLC SSD (or even TLC SSD) over SATA is more than sufficient for the consumer market, at prices that actually will be used (although even a TLC SSD seems to be considered "high end" by my family members...)
---------
The Optane memory seems to have a niche in replacing DRAM servers. So instead of running Redis, MySQL, or Postgres on DRAM, you can run it on Optane instead.
Optane is cheaper than DDR4 but almost as fast (latency wise). Latency is a big deal when it comes to database and/or key-value pair workloads.
