Intel Optane Memory 32GB Review

Up Close

Like any solid state drive the Intel Optane is hardly the most interesting thing to look at. It’s pretty much the same as any other M.2 drive we’ve looked at. We do have to wonder why Intel used a blue PCB instead of a black one though. Okay blue might be the official Intel colour but a glance at any motherboard compatible with the Optane Memory will show that almost every PCB is black so the Optane will stand out like a sore thumb.
