okay I think I have a plan for the minecraft server, to kit out my $50 5700G machine:
- 2x 120GB SATA SSDs, used, to run in RAID 1, $20 each
- 2x 16GB optane M10 modules, new, to run in RAID 0 and store the minecraft world, $8.80 each

@ezio (I've bought half a dozen and they all report that they're new via SMART, guessing they made too many and are selling them for cheap)

@izzy @ezio oh interesting, I assume the price is old stock then, as the small optance accelerator drives are discontinued and they have the combo SSD ones only now

@theking @ezio yeah the H10s and H20s are pricey but the small M10s are super cheap because they're only useful to weird nerds that want solid state swap or scratch space

@izzy @ezio I wish the 32gb or 64gb ones were cheaper
4x32gb or 4x64gb optane in a 16x splitter would be amazing I bet
Raid 0 it and make one crazy scratch disk

@theking @ezio the appeal of my plan is I can use both NVMe slots for optane akko_giggle

@izzy @ezio my HP elite desk with a ryzen 3400g didn't like optane in my 4x slot for some reason
Dunno why

@theking @ezio my i5 9500 elitedesk has official optane support so I intend to fill that bad boy with H10s

@izzy @ezio I did get it working with my ryzen, since I just used the x2 slot and it was fine :p
Optane as swap works decently iirc

@ezio @izzy raid 0 dual optane is an interesting idea to me for the low latency

@ezio @izzy but a modern pcie 4/5 nvme is faster iirc, but optane latency might be faster still

@theking @ezio @izzy some pcie 5 drives have latency that's close to optane, but they are pretty pricey

@izzy @theking @ezio random iops doesn't really change with pcie generation so, if anything optane is basically the way to go even in a pcie 5 system for low qd random io
