I am intrigued by this. I have an SSD that I cannot use due to the lack of an M2 slot in my desktop. How is this accomplished? Do you need an adapter for M.2 to DIMM?

Memory corruption could be more disastrous due to its persistence, but given the RAM bus is faster than SATA... This might work!




You will need to go find some Intel Optane DIMMs, a tech I wrote about here:

In general the tech is called Persistent Memory:

Thanks a lot (belatedly..) for the links! I have something new to consider in my next build. I really like this idea, it allows for a ton of freedom and you could do some weird wizardry with it. Also a lot of data corruption, haha.
