Optane suffered the same fate as every other storage technology over the decades with a similar value proposition. Broadly, the notional value of storage technology like Optane is that it offers a drop-in improvement in storage performance without requiring any software modification, albeit at a significant cost premium.

I don't think so at all. The value of Optane was that it was dramatically different, offering byte-addressable storage with latency of hundreds of nanoseconds. Getting the most out of this requires radically red…
It says here an SLC drive has the same latency for sequential read (random read is 5x higher though). [2]
