Have you ever had your hands on one? That sounds like utter nonsense. Optane technology provides the fastest (and most expensive) NVMEs available. If you don't want it used, disable it in BIOS, or put a partition table on it with a full disk partition labeled Windows. Or, make a RAMdisk out of it. If you must take it out, send it to me. I have two M.2 sockets waiting for one. :)
...this is easier said than done but I will work on it.
Don't. At least, not until and unless the software/BIOS options fail to produce fruit. Surely there's some forum on the web where Linux users with Optane have discussed putting them to use. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
