The Optanes do not have a DRAM cache like Flash SSDs need.
thank you!

Most Optane M.2 sticks I see are NAND with some Optane as a cache

Those aren't the type of Optane he is talking about here, though they certainly were once more common.

The P1600X is pure optane.

118GB is the capacity of the PX1600X which is rather small by modern standards
Supresided that this technology cannot be stacked lie NAND or HBM

Sadly sold out now. I missed the boat on this one for my NAS read/write cache.

UGH, would love this for a server OS drive. Other options would be some enterprise u.2 or u.3 drives or high endurance m.2/sata SSDs.

Uh that has nothing to do with that option.
Enabling write cache means that writes are cached to memory first and only flushed to disk when certain criteria is filled, which helps if the disk has high latency. Optane doesn't have high latency, so enabling is fools errand (but certainly possible)

All OSes in common use do caching in RAM by default.

The P1600X seems to allow write caching

try checking the box, it may change description like mine did.

How right you are
They may be worried about losing their "Power Loss Protection"
