Optane is really only good for holding your OS because of capacity. You cant Cache a NVMe SSD with Optane only HDDs,so its really perfect for users with high TB HDDs

Just shows you people REALLY don't understand hybrid storage systems or caching. At all. I wasn't talking about caching an SSD with Optane, I was talking that he goes either with dedicated Optane or he creates a hybrid storage himself using SSD and software designed for this purpose. Advantage of it being a much larger but tiny bit slower cache in SSD case and in Optane's case, simple and dedicated setup for this purpose. No one was even or ever talking about caching SSD with Optane. Why on earth would you even do that?

It used to be RAM caching tool, but they now also support SSD caching. It's cheap, has really good support and works really well. I just moved to full SSD later on, otherwise I'd still be using that as it really sped up things. It quite frankly didn't feel much different than full SSD does now. I was just annoyed by the HDD noise...

Update: I asked for the 960 pro m.2 for Xmas I know it’s a little far off but least I don’t have to pay for it. 512gb I’m sure that’s plenty of space for a boot drive. Will ssd also let your games play smoother? And Inatall windows updates faster?

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Good choice. :)

Lol, it wont play games smoother. It has NOTHING to due with fps. Many games will load a bit faster though.

As far as windows installs... a bit faster, sure.

Yea this might be a little off topic but the only game I have a big problem with is forza horizon 3 tons of glitches and crashes a lot I tried everything reinstalling and disk clean up and optimized I thought a ssd will make it run smoother or something
