Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • my favorite game (UE4 engined) is notorious for its pop-ins and in this one regard the 905p nearly eliminates that aggravation for a single title that is particularly bad... even for the Urinal Engine v4.
  • Scratch drive for video editing? Absolutely... it has no peer with stupidly large file handling. Shuffling a shit ton of small files to and fro? Words fail to describe how bad the ass kicking the 905p give Sn850x 8TB and 4TB drives once...
  • Booting windows or Linux? Yeah, it's without a doubt snappier at any point while starting up and after log in (particularly pronounced difference in feel vs NANDflash drjcd).

Cons

  • Also, the insane optane speeds of yesteryear are a lot slower than modern NVME ssds. Your specific optane drive has 2600 MB/s read and 2200 MB/s write. Your new 4tb T710 has 14,500 MB/s reads and 13,800 MB/s writes. They're not even close.
  • Unless you make a habit of copying over large chunk of files, probably not. Optane is made for a different era.
  • No. And it will probably be near end of life anyways.
