1 and 2tb are on back order, but the very fact that you can get them at all is amazing. The write endurance on these is like 4-8x any other consumer SSD.

Go ahead and build a NAS with no cache drives. Host Ollama on a hard drive and load 16gb models into VRAM

yes, but the PCIe optanes are incredibly overpriced now. I copped the datacenter edition (u.2) and an adapter.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JK2XLC

While researching I was immediately worried that an (((adapter))) might do translation/compression and bottlekneck my i/o speed somehow which would defeat the entire purpose of getting an optane...Can confirm it does not, and I am getting insane performance on non sequential workloads I designate to it. soooo CR

Amazon has some 2tb drives but they are significantly more expensive than when I started this thread.
