Built-in is written six times while the more accurate pre-installed only appears once. I'll be passing on Gigabyte for awhile.

So, just a cache?

Too small and pointless, avoid these parts and buy your own NVME drive

This is for the gaming enthusiast that still can't get over the great GB for the $ that mechanical drives offer... Lol

 

[Basard]

Well, I'd take one, if the price didn't increase. But I wouldn't even pay a dollar for this. They'd have to pay me for the 'hassle' of installing and using. They can barely give them away. 32 gigs.... come on. I know it's supposed to be an accelerator, but meh.

Not only is this almost useless but I bet support will not be available for more than 4 years now the line.

I recently tried an Optane stick (32GB) out in one of my systems. It did speed-up my HDD's performance.
Overall system speed was not dramatically faster because there was already a 500GB SSD in it for the OS.
I didn't keep it.

Not only is this almost useless but I bet support will not be available for more than 4 years now the line.

Support is available now.

For the budding young "baller on a budget" who thinks SSD prices are insane. Intel couldn't give these away, so they found a way to recoup their losses by bundling with slow-selling motherboards. To be a worthwhile deal, these should be very close to the price of the non OP boards, because Optane cache is not that great.
