Intel later produced hybrid Optane drives such as the H10 that combined NAND storage with an Optane cache, but again, pairing cheap QLC NAND with 32GB of pricey 3D XPoint memory left us wondering ...

This isn't Intel's first try at an Optane-backed hybrid SSD—the first, 2019's Optane H10, made its way into a few consumer laptops but didn't make much of a splash.

Optane memory H20 is a new storage product from intel that combines its high-performance Optane memory with a regular QLC SSD in capacities of 512GB and 1TB.

Optane has long occupied a kind of no man's land in personal computing, but Intel aims to change that with its latest drive. Known as 3D XPoint before the "Optane" rebrand, the technology exists as a ...

All-told, H20 drives appear to be significantly faster than H10, Intel's earlier attempt to package Optane and SSD together, offering double-digit percentage improvement in speed over the 2019 drives.

Intel's just-launched Optane H20 drive is a unique memory/SSD combination that provides some performance benefits, but our testing shows it's not a slam-dunk for every laptop user.

Introduction & Drive Details Intel's newest iteration of an Optane reinforced SSD is designated H20. The H20, as the name suggests, is the successor to the Intel H10.

Intel has announced a number of Optane and NAND storage devices coming to market in 2021, with a 3rd-generation Optane product on the roadmap thereafter.
