Re:Intel’s first Optane SSD: 375GB that you can also use as RAM on Monday March 20, 2017 @10:39PM (#13919424)
It would be useful to move some SQLd indices to an Optane drive with DB rows on arrays of m.2 flash drives. SQL consolidation/redundancy over network out of band, slowly. This to scale somewhat cheap OSS SQL clusters.

This starts to make sense in a single server node with enough 4 channel pcie interfaces. AMD Naples?
