What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
With optane enabled, firecuda, it is faster yet. Games load much more quickly, and the drive is very reliable.

I think for many users it will probably be even more dramatic than for my setup because ive already got 128 gb of ram in the machine so most tasks never need to access much of the page file anyway
