Now that I'm getting into video a bit, I'm mulling over rebuilding or rebuying my main media editing system sometime this year or maybe early next year.
I'm looking to do editing on the unit with a sizeable portion of the still/moving library actually shadowed on the PC, so will be looking at an all-SSD setup.
I haven't looked too much into it but I saw the stuff happening around Optane and the consumer release, so I had a few questions:
- When will a consumer-facing version be launched that's in the 1-2Tb range?
- Failing that, can I use the U.2 enterprise versions (I'm assuming Intel will be on track to release the larger capacity units later in the year) on a typical higher-end motherboard available now onwards, and what bottlenecks will that entail?
- Is it really going to be faster for heavy reads and writes than say a 960 Pro or whatever Samsung has lined up next?
Please enlighten a high-performance SSD ignoramus
