> What was interesting about Optane was that it was kinda an attempt to get rid of disk and ram distinction. That might be the promise, but that premise is fundamentally flawed. I mean, what drives the need to classify memory devices is performance characteristics, and even if your starting point is this idealized world where Optane was ubiquitous then all it took was a ephemeral memory technology to significantly outperform Optane to create need support the performance-oriented non-persistent memory type.
