Astute readers will notice we are not publishing application performance here. When it comes to WordPress and forum performance the Intel Optane Memory performs surprisingly well for reads and fairly well for writes compared to SATA SSDs. This will be a topic for another day. One item to keep in mind is that using less expensive drives also means you can use more RAM which will have a larger impact on performance. Looking at a similarly priced drive, (e.g. a DC S3520) that has PLP and the Optane drive will crush the low-cost SATA NAND device. Low capacity NVMe SSDs with PLP, and that fit in 22

… Still, games have the potential to be a rough spot for emulation since they are so performance sensitive, so it will be interesting to see what the real-world performance implications are once RTX Spark devices ship, and how NVIDIA is going to be throwing around its massive weight in the gaming spa… …
… Compared to cache sizes that have been tuned to popular benchmarking tools, sustained write performance might be a more meaningful number, especially if one is rebuilding a ZFS storage pool, mirror RAID or even BTRFS. …
