Recently saw an article posted about the Optane 900p. It looks like a very impressive device. However, I had a question about compatibility. A number of motherboards are designated as Optane compatible. I think this just means that they can use Optane as cache storage. Can the 900p be used in any NVMe compatible motherboard, or does it need a motherboard specifically marked as Optane compatible?
Optane 900p compatibility
- Thread starter imrazor
- Start date
NOT according with MSI ... but I think they are cofused .... Optane SSD / Optane MEMORY
Dear Sorin,
Apologies for the inconvenience.
We have checked with the technicians and we've got information, this SSD is not supported on AMD Mainboard and AMD CPU.

Good day,
I have a MB X370 SLI PLUS with Ryzen 1700x.
I want to buy a new SSD
INTEL OPTANE 900p 480Gb AIC PCIe 3.0x4 3D Xpoint Model SSDPED1D480GASX.
Can you please confirm that is compatible.
Must be instalked on PCI_E4 ?
Thank you & Best Regards

Yea they are confusing it with them Memory which is an intel CPU only thing.

That is all i can really find for proof, but this is NOT memory it is a SSD that uses the NVMe Protocol which your motherboard DOES Support So I don't see why it won't work. If you want to wait you can do that. Also it can be installed in any PCIe port it will just either use whatever lanes it has (like a 1 or 2 x) or only use the 4 (if a 8 or 16 x)

It it is supposed to be used as a cache device, primarily for an HDD.
NVMe cache for an NVMe drive makes no sense.
Without using it as a cache, 16GB or 32GB is really too small to use for any normal use.
