Optane, the poor man's SSD
I ordered an Optane module for my XPS 8900 Dell computer online for about $25 total. They only work with i3, 5, and 7 and only 7th gen Kaby lake processors. They are tied into the drive with the OS on it only and you can't easily change that drive without upsetting the integrity of those two. It's kind of like a memory, drive, accelerator combo and comes in 16 or 32gb. The 32gb one isn't needed unless you do a lot of heavy duty multi function video editing etc computing. You need to upgrade the bios, slip into the M.2 slot, and download the driver for it from Intel. It only helps spinning drives. I will let you know how I like it in a week +-.
