Samsung's Z-NAND to Compete Favorably With Intel's Optane

Have you checked the size of your browser's on-disk cache? Is it zero?

Plus, I'm not even sure why you're trying to tell Nokiron, the only guy here who has actually experienced Optane, that he's not seeing any benefits.
Zero, default option in the browser.

He's not the only one, I believe StrayKat also has one btw confirmation bias? That's why I asked about what kind of work he was doing on Optane & whether that had to do with his better experience. I also said that the best NVMe drives (960 Pro/Evo?) shouldn't feel all that much different from Optane for a regular desktop user, enterprise work(load) could gain a lot more.

I also stand by my assumption that in a blind test 90% won't feel much of a difference between the two, if at all, maybe we can agree to disagree on that?

Well, Nokiron just told us otherwise, so ok, let's agree to disagree :D
 
Back on topic, this should undercut Optane on the price front, if rumors are to be believed. Perhaps this will finally to 2TB QLC drives, on sale at $200 ?
