Hi Carlos - It is fun reading all the comments about how my laptop works! LOL Anywise maybe this link will help, it is both a technical explanation and a bunch of HP's marketing hype - https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/tech-takes/what-is-intel-optane-memory HTHs Yes, this is what others have suggested you have, but it makes no sense.
You have two disks: Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 953.9 GiB, 1024209543168 bytes, 2000409264 sectors Disk model: INTEL HBRPEKNX0203AH Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: B32172FB-2CEE-4E2C-B94B-46DAABE35591 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/nvme0n1p1 2048 534527 532480 260M EFI System /dev/nvme0n1p2 534528 567295 32768 16M Microsoft reserved /dev/nvme0n1p3 567296 360937471 360370176 171.9G Microsoft basic data /dev/nvme0n1p4 1999337472 2000392191 1054720 515M Windows recovery environment And Disk /dev/nvme1n1: 27.3 GiB, 29260513280 bytes, 57149440 sectors Disk model: INTEL HBRPEKNX0203AHO Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Notice that both are /dev/nvme, meaning M.2 form factor for *both*. If both are M.2 nvme "disks", optane makes no sense, both are immensely fast. However, *the system may be lying*, and in fact the first disk is rotating rust. Do you hear it spinning? It might be an SSD, but I doubt that adding optane to that is that big an advantage. In any case, you have to kill that Optane. Impossible to install Linux. How, I do not know. Return the laptop? (I would do that, eyes closed) Or open it up, and report what is there. Remove the Optane, replace rotating rust with actual SSD disk. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
