Yep sure does seem like StoreMI, to be honest and with respect to TTL, Intel just bore the pants of me at the moment. Bring on the TR2 reviews

Yeah I am looking fwd to seeing those, even though I won't ever be able to own one.

For that money you can get a 256GB SSD. For a few bucks more you can get a NVMe PCI x2 drive too.

256GB is tiny for storage drive though. This allows you to get high speeds on your high capacity slow drives.

That would be a royal pita with the way things stand atm (safe mode didnt work either) would only count on the boot drive though
A little info
Some screendumps for comparing:
Top left- a 500GB Samsung EVO 970plus NVMe (my system-disk).
Top right- a WD-Green 4TB (64MBcache) all standard slow HDD.
Bottom left- a WD-Black 6TB (256MB cache).
Bottom right, the same WD-Balck 6TB (over), with Optane 32GB
And, yeah.., it makes a huge difference in practical use, and for the price it's just excellent.
If not for the upgrade by Intel in 2018 (te option of using Optane with slave-hdd's, only system-disks), it would have been money out of the window -for me, cause Optane _can not_ be paired with other NVMe's.
It can be paired with SATA-SSD's, but well.., I don't think that's "price-efficient
.
Anyway, so If you got a Optane compatible motherboard and CPU and would like a fast!, large HDD, I do recommend the Intel Optane 32GB -at no doubt
