Intel Optane Memory 16Gb

according to this:

Intel NUC7I7BNHX1 for Roon Rock

As the NUC7i5BNH was not available anymore where I live, I ordered a NUC7i5BNHX1. The NUC7i5BNHX1 is delivered with an optane 16 Go SSD M2 memory. As I didn’t buy yet an SSD, I tried to install ROCK on the Optane. I confirm it works perfectly. The NUC see the Optane as a normal bootable SSD M2 Memory. I have now few lost connection issues but I guess there is no link with the optane memory.

The Optane just appears as a bootable SSD. I have no experience with testing this, but @Alexandre_Lejeune seems to have had success.

Remember, Optane is not “RAM” (memory) – it is very fast “disk”.

16GB is well below the needed amount for the boot SSD of a Roon OS system. You will need at least 64GB to be safe.
