6 Additional Features/Capabilities

This section covers additional features/capabilities provided by Intel® Optane™ memory capable applications.

6.1

Data drive acceleration, or DDA, is the capability to accelerate – with Intel® Optane™ memory -- a 'slower media'

which does not contain an operating system, only data.

•

Statistics, as shown in the Intel® Optane™ memory application, are not available with DDA.

Systems with more than one bootable drive are not supported and results cannot be guaranteed.

•

All the Minimum Requirements (Section 1.2) continue to apply to DDA and the specific data drive being

accelerated.

System must contain the following:

System drive (e.g. C:) with the Windows 10 operating system installed (can be SATA or NVMe)

Data drives must still be formatted with a GPT partition and Type Basic.

The process to Enable/Disable acceleration (Section 5) continue to apply to DDA and the specific data drive being
