no. optane is something like twice the speed of the 850 at random read. have it as a boot drive and ive been living in the future. i mean its great something like the 850 is as cheap as it is. but i can barely tell the difference between that and any sata drive. to be fair, it depends on your use case. look at real world benchmarks measured in human timescales (actual honest comparisons are rare in these reviews, because then this stuff wouldnt sell affiliate links). i cant help but feel consumer pc parts are merely for videogame consoles. the ssd and ddr speed crap, lack of ecc, etc.. building machines with this stuff is almost like a videogame itself -- my ssd scored 1,937,533 points on synthscore 3.5! (like, it saves 9.5 minutes of my life over 365 days compared to a samsung lolz)
- nine_k 6y agoM.2 drives are small and usually don't require a cable and a bay. It is important in compact builds. Funnily enough, recent AMD CPUs for the consumer segment support ECC out of the box. But you need a right motherboard, of course. This is a welcome streak of sanity in the world where consumer PCs have 32GB RAM.
- my123 6y ago> recent AMD CPUs for the consumer segment CPUs yes, but not APUs. This matters especially for SFF builds where you might not want a dGPU. For those, you specifically have to hunt for Ryzen Pro APUs which do have ECC support.
- modzu 6y agoi can only find one single motherboard that supports ecc for the new ryzen. im glad amd isn't crippling it, but for all intents and purposes the support still isn't there
- Godel_unicode 6y agoYou might want to check out the ASRock rack X470D4U, as long as you're running either a desktop CPU or a pro APU. If you're specifically referring to a non-pro APU then yes you're likely out of luck.
