You should try now-discontinued Intel Optane especially p5800x. I got my OS running on them and they are incredible.


I'm running 12 of them for ZFS cache/log/special, and they are fast/tough enough to make a large array on a slow link feel fast. I shake my fist at Intel and Micron for taking away one of the best memory technologies to ever exist.


The endurance on those drivers is amazing.

I have (stupidly) used a too small Samsung EVO drive as a caching drive, and that is probably the first computer part that I've worn out (bar a mouse & keyboard).


Just a few more years until we get MRAM as viable storage technology. And affordable fusion, and hovercars.
