Didn't they stop making Optane? :(

Also, Optane was like $4 per GB, so a moderately-sized drive, like 256GB, is already above $1000.

The Optane NVMe drives were more like $1-2 per GB when they were new, and are a fair bit cheaper now that they're basically on clearance: https://www.newegg.com/intel-optane-ssd-905p-series-960gb/p/...

But this work used the Optane DC Persistent Memory DIMMs that only work with certain Intel server CPUs. I'm not sure what the typical price people actually paid for those was, but it probably was not actually more expensive than DRAM.

Yes, Optane isn't produced anymore
