Thanks. Missed out on the last one and need one for a new FreeNAS build.

What would be the primary use case of an Optane drive in a homelab? Applications that are data intensive?

Read/write cache in front of other media
Dedicated storage for high performance (high iops + low latency applications)
Or an wesesome boot device

I have got one 280GB 900p, too. Still thinking about to use as boot drive in my desktop PC.

Have used one since they came out, well worth it as primary drive in desktop\workstation
