You’re getting a lot of crap (rightly) for your lack of clarity and fuzzy language use on this point…

But that also points out the demand for the seemingly-unachievable promises you’re making. I wonder if it’s worth stirring up some out-of-production DIMM-connected Optane and using that as a basis for a truly fast-persisted append-only log. If that gives you the ability to achieve something that’s really in demand, you can go from there to a production basis, even if it’s just a stack of MRAM on a PCI-e card or something until the tech (re-) arises.

you can just use NVDIMMs which are generally 8, 16, or 32GB DIMM modules that have a enough flash and backup power to copy all data to the flash storage if power is lost on the host.
