Is the Aurora R6 Intel Optane compatible?
Exactly as stated in the title. Was searching around and can't get a confirmed answer if Intel Optane would work.

For Intel® Optane™ ssd CACHE to be supported a PC needs to have a 7th Gen Intel® Core™ processor, an Intel® 200 series chipset, an M.2 type 2280-S1-B AND M connector on a PCH Remapped PCIe Controller and Lanes in a x2 or x4 configuration with B AND M keys that meet NVMe Spec 1.1 AND UEFI System BIOS that supports the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) 15.5 or later driver and Windows* 10 64bit or above installed on a supported SATA - based storage device (Hard drive, SATA SSD or SSHD)
I don't think the aurora has this.

Intel® Optane™ Technology
Intel® Optane™ M2 KEYED SSD's work with PCs that have a 7th Gen Intel® Core™ processor. Intel® Optane™ memory concatenates memory and storage into one virtual drive visible to the OS with an optimized system interconnect that uses smart software (Intel® RST)to accelerate performance and responsiveness of the PC. It is called memory because it utilizes a new memory media to store information closer to the processor similar to the function of system DRAM Memory. Intel® Optane™ Memory module is the name of the system accelerator that works with 7th Gen Intel® Core™ processor desktop platforms (codename Kaby Lake). It is a 16GB or 32GB CACHE solution that fits into the M.2 connector on boards and systems with the Intel® Optane™ memory ready designation. This solution increases system performance and responsiveness. It does not replace DRAM. So I call this pants on fire hype because ready boost and ssd cache design similar to this has been done before.
