high speed and
responsiveness
helps you work
& play Faster
Intelligent System Acceleration
:
Intel® Optane™ memory is a smart and
adaptable system accelerator that adjusts to your computing tasks—making
everything you do faster, smoother, easier. Intelligent software automatically
learns your computing behaviors to accelerate frequent tasks and customize your
computer experience.
Breakthrough Responsiveness
:
Optimize your computer responsiveness
from system boot to application launch. A computer with a 7th Gen Intel® Core™
processor and Intel® Optane™ memory delivers amazing speed and responsiveness
so you can wake your computer instantly, search and find files faster, and save
large files in a flash.
Uncompromised Capacity
:
Store all your large files locally on a “mega storage”
device and open them quickly. Intel® Optane™ memory delivers high-speed
acceleration without compromising system storage capacity. A large capacity
storage device, like an HDD, coupled with Intel® Optane™ memory affordably
delivers the best of both worlds.
Reliability
:
Created by Intel, one of the industry’s most trusted technology
innovators, this new class of non-volatile memory is backed by over 30 years of
memory expertise and global leadership in technology innovation and processor
manufacturing.

6. Intel® Optane™ memory requires specific hardware configuration and Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver
7. Power values vary by capacity and form factor. Measurement estimate based on worst case values.
8. Intel’s 5 year limited warranty applies to the module alone and not to the entire platform system acceleration solution.
Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending
on system configuration. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at www.intel.com/ssd.
Tests document performance of components on a particular test, in specific systems. Differences in hardware, software, or configuration will affect actual performance.
Consult other sources of information to evaluate performance as you consider your purchase.
The products described in this document may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications.
Current characterized errata are available on request. Contact your local Intel sales office or your distributor to obtain the latest specifications and before placing your product
order.
