I'm using a 16gb ram machine and bought the pure optane drive for less than 10 dollars (converting from reais and adding the 2 day delivery), 16gb of ram is 15 times that rn.

As I'm using a swap partition with zswap on a LUKS encrypted drive, at least I'm expecting it to have better performance overall when hitting the swap.

If no one used, I might post about the performance difference later this week.

I'd be interested in seeing performance stats.

I once used an Optane as a cache for my HDD using lvmcache, and had a portion of it as swap, didn't have any trouble with the swap part.

Why compress if you have 16gb ram and 16gb swap?

I posted some in here: https://lemmy.world/post/49580514

It's fine, I have been using it since then.

Swap is still slow. I'm using optane now (after this post) and it's ok, not as fast as ram, but it works.
