Hi, Russell. We've never seen a hardware cause for this in our labs. You may want to contact Intel Tech Support for assistance. Here's a link for memory-and-storage support. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000026429/memory-and-storage.html

Hi, Steve. We see you're active on the Accelerate with Optane GitHub and have forwarded your request to the Optane DC Persistent Memory Team. Thanks for your interest!
To your first question: The media used in an Optane SSD is quite different from NAND... NAND media is erased in large blocks, and written in smaller pages, where you must erase before you write. Because of the need to erase a large area before writing a small area with NAND, this forces the...
Hi, nosirrahx. For your RAID question: In our testing, most applications when using all SSDs with hardware RAID controllers, bypassing RAID controller caches provides the optimized performance. Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel® VROC) is an enterprise RAID solution specifically designed for...
Thanks for the question, Steve. We are growing a developer community for optimizing software applications to take advantage of Persistence, aligned to the Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory DIMMs. More info here: http://pmem.io/pmdk/ We previously shared some details on PM capabilities. You can...
Thanks for the questions, Arandomguy. Regarding your first question, we don't support partitioning the drive to be used as a cache and storage. We currently don't have plans to support this in the future. As to your second question, we are exploring this possibility for a future release. For...
Thanks, Franz. There are third-party solutions enabling multiple SSDs to be aggregated into a high-bandwidth slot. In addition, the PCIe 4.0 spec has been announced, which will bring higher bandwidth to future platforms and SSDs.
Thanks, Atul. Intel has announced QLC NAND SSDs. We see those as growing the NAND storage market aggressively, as an alternative to HDDs. We believe a tiered data strategy of Optane as cache/journaling/meta-data combined with QLC to reduce total cost of ownership of data storage is a great...
Thanks for the question, CatMerc. Persistent memory depends on CPU and Optane architecture working well together, and we're constantly evaluating additional market opportunities.
Thanks, Drazick. Optane SSDs are industry-leading solutions and, as such, are currently positioned as a premium product. For a more cost-effective capacity offering, you can use Optane Memory to speed up slower-capacity storage. All Optane solutions are currently built with Intel-designed...
Thanks, Luminair. We're continuing to work with all major OS providers and software vendors to enhance software performance and remove storage I/O latency. The ecosystem will continue to improve software to take advantage of hardware. Software development is a continuous evolution. Some public...
Thanks, Nosirrahx. I recommend you take a look at Intel Virtual Raid on CPU (VROC). VROC both reduces TCO and accelerates performance. It works well with Optane SSDs today. Take a look here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000024498/memory-and-storage/ssd-software.html...
Thanks, IronWing. Optane SSDs have the most benefits for acceleration application for dynamic data. Optane data persistence is the same as any other enterprise SSD, having data retention specifications of a minimum of 3 months in a power-off condition and end-of-endurance life. Optane endurance...
Databases are a great fit for Optane technology. Yes, we are working with all the major database companies. Here is an example of our work with the Developers of My SQL: http://dimitrik.free.fr/blog/posts/mysql-performance-80-ga-iobound-tpcc.html

Thanks for the question, Lutfij. When it comes to professionals on workstations, dealing in content creation, gaming, and high-end workloads, Optane SSDs are great. For everyone else, Optane memory is a great solution to make your system faster and more responsive.
Thanks for your question. Optane technology is a combination of 3D XPoint plus our controller technology, software building blocks, and IP. You can expect increased performance as we release new products.
We can build Optane technology in multiple factories, but we're still building it in IMFT--which is still jointly owned with Micron. We'll talk more about Gen 2 Optane technology when we announce products! Thanks for the questions, Dayman1225.
