Oh, it's amazing. I use a small chunk of it at home for ZIL, even though my synch writes are few and far between.

It's just approximately the Right Thing to use for some things, and I had room for it, and it was rather inexpensive when I bought it. :)

10/10, would recommend and buy again. (Whoops!)

I have various generations of optane I stocked up on for my own small business and home lab use, and fully agree.

I don’t know if you’re aware but Samsung introduced their own version of optane just shortly before Intel killed their product line. It was called Samsung Z and it was prohibitively expensive for some reason, but I didn’t hear that it was officially killed off (though it likely has been).

I found it deep in my Amazon “saved for later” but it’s no longer available: https://amzn.to/3z7QeGu
