17 R5, Optane memory does not enable
Has anyone heard of system files being written to the optane drive preventing it being enabled. https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/articles/000025194/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html Support on the chat is practically useless and the mainboard has already been replaced (obviously not the problem) https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=thvt6&oscode=wt64a&productcode=alienware-17-r5 https://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/04/sln306433/how-to-install-an-intel-optane-m-2-nvme-accelerator-into-your-existing-dell-optiplex-inspiron-precision-alienware-system?lang=en

I have just had Dell remote in and upper level support said that Optane on the SSD is integrated with OS install.

You may use Intel® Optane™ memory as a standalone NVMe* SSD. However, we don't support this configuration.
Therefor if you can use it as a boot drive, it follows that system files can be written to the Optane memory. I believe the Intel page states that data may be on the module preventing it from being enabled.
