Anyone actually use Optane? We were considering, but never found a combo that would work for our needs.

I was thinking of using it as a boot drive (instead of PCIe Gen4 SSD) for my late 2021 desktop build, but the size to cost ratio didn't really make sense.
I was so hyped for this technology when they first presented the concept. Sadly there has never been a product that made any sense and their time to market was way too long.
It really is too bad that this never became more mainstream as a sort of a "super high end SSD" option.
To my understanding a lot of it was intel being greedy (unreasonable product segmentation for a novel tech) and challenges with their JV with Micron.
