I'd rather a big, fast SSD than an Optane+HDD combo. An HDD in a laptop is just yuck. But Optane does seem to out-perform the top-end PCIe enterprise SSDs by a factor of 5-7x, at least judging by the benchmarks Intel has published against it's own top-end SSDs.

It seems like they are putting those drives on x2 PCIE slots there is no way it's going to outpace any NVME drive. Their capacity is also very small this looks to me like 2005 when Lenovo had SSD cache addin cards for the pc/express card slots. Give me a 2tb drive or go him until the the 960/960 pro is all the rage.
