OptiPlex 5050 Tower Owner's Manual

This document describes the specifications and capabilities of the Intel® Optane^TM memory module. The Intel® Optane^TM memory is a system acceleration solution developed for 7th Generation Intel® Core^TM processor-based platforms. The Intel® Optane^TM memory module is architected with the high performance controller interface Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe*)- delivering outstanding performance, low latency and quality of service. NVMe uses a standardized interface that enables higher performance and lower latency than pervious interfaces. Intel® Optane^TM memory module offers capacities of 16 GB and 32 GB in small M.2 form factors.

The Intel® Optane^TMmemory module offers a system acceleration solution using the latest Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) 15.5X.

The Intel® Optane^TM memory module includes these key features:

• PCIe 3.0x2 with NVMe interface
• Uses Intel’s revolutionary new storage technology, 3D Xpoint^TM memory media
• Ultra-low latency; exceptional responsiveness
• Performance saturation at queue depth of 4 and lower
• Very high endurance capabilities
