256GB SSD +16GB SSD OPTANE M1

Intel's Optane Memory technology speed up a PC's hard drive without adding the expense of a full-fledged solid-state drive (SSD). A combination of an Optane Memory module and a hard drive can accelerate your computing experience by learning which tasks you do frequently and stashing them in the Optane Memory module, for faster access than from the hard drive. But with falling SSD prices and higher capacities, hard drives are becoming a less common cost-saving alternative in many configurations, especially laptops. So Intel decided to see if it could apply Optane Memory's advantages to SSDs Intel Optane Memory H10 With Solid State Storage"), offers some significant advantages over traditional SSDs, but also some drawbacks, depending on how you plan to use your PC. It's great at launching apps and performing multiple tasks at once, such as making a copy of one file while opening another. But it offers slightly lower throughput than an equivalently sized pure SSD. For casual use, that won't make much difference.
