Has anyone got experience with Intel Optane memory?

The hard drive on my HP laptop is a regular SSD with a smaller Intel Optane drive integrated into it. The Optane is where the OS (Windows 10) is installed and is used to quickly retrieve files from the SSD and so forth.

The Optane drive recently malfunctioned and became unreadable. The SSD portion (where all my files are stored) seems to be intact—at least, it's reading error free when I run a disk check. But with the optane malfunctioning, when I turn on the computer it tells me there is no operating system installed, so I have no way to access the "good" part of the harddrive.

From what I've read online, the only way to get the computer working again is to switch off Intel Optane and install a new operating system directly onto the SSD. But if I do this, the entire hard drive gets formatted, and I lose all of my files.

I'm not good with this stuff. Is there any way to recover my files? Unfortunately my backup system failed too and I've lost 6 months of art and academic work 😢

Okei. Sain asentumisen käyntiin kun laitoin m.2 nvme-levyn linux-LVM moodiin. Sitten piti vaan käynnistää uudestaan kun olisi halunnut alkaa alusta.

Eli nyt on perus-fedora asentajan päässä. Piti kyllä asennella joku eri versio mutta kyllähän se vielä onnistuu tässä.

Wayland-Sway ainakin. Ja voi olla että sorrun Hyprlandiin kun valmiissa doteissa tulee söpöjä taustakuvia mukana.

Kyllä se niin on että halpis läppäri on valmiiksi serriä. #eiikinäenää

I don’t like it, as my go-to SSD for the past decade+ have been either Intel or Samsung and I just see the Intel options disappearing from my suppliers. All those #IntelOptane have been the most reliable and amazing perf drives i ever used…
