I have a system that came with 16GB Optane NVMe and I've put in a 500GB Samsung 860 EVO SATA SSD that I already had. Has anyone done this just because they had the spare parts on hand? Am i better off using the Optane for caching, or is it pointless?
I know the Optane NVMe itself will have better read speeds and random read performance than the SATA SSD, but worse write speed performance. I thought Optane is a read-only cache when enabled, but I noticed the write speeds drop to Optane levels as well when running CrystalDiskMark.
