Intel® Optane™ Memory M Series
1
Overview
Intel® Optane™ memory is a system acceleration solution that can be used to increase responsiveness on
supported Intel platforms. This solution uses the Intel® Optane™ memory media that is based on Intel® Optane™
technology, along with the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) driver. It is a dual-media solution (fast
media for caching + slower media for storage capacity) that is presented to the host OS as a single SSD when
properly enabled.
When this new memory media is installed between the processor and slower storage media, the computer can
store commonly used data and programs closer to the processor. In doing so, Intel® Optane™ memory accelerates
your computer’s access to frequently used documents, pictures, videos and application files and remembers
them even after you power it off.
1.1
About this Document
This document provides the platform requirements and installation process for Intel® Optane™ memory products,
including available applications to manage these devices and the following products:
•
Intel® Optane™ memory / Intel® Optane™ memory M Series products when paired with a supported
“slower media” drive.
Note:
The Installation and User guide for the
Intel® Optane™ Memory H Series
can be found here:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000023989/memory-and-storage/intel-
optane-memory.html
1.2
Minimum Requirements
Below are the requirements for a system to support system acceleration with Intel® Optane™ Memory. Systems
purchased with Intel® Optane™ memory preinstalled and/or branded as
Intel® Optane™ Memory Ready
will meet
these requirements.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Motherboard:
Supported motherboards will contain at least 1 M.2 PCIe NVMe storage port and the
proper BIOS to support Intel® Optane™ memory.
Processor:
See
here
for supported Processors for each Intel® RST driver release.
Intel® Optane™ Memory device, or “Fast Media”
Drive to be accelerated, aka “Slower Media”:
Only a single pass-through disk can be accelerated.
Please see below for supported options:
a.
b.
c.
d.
5.
SATA HDD – single pass-through
SATA SSD – single pass-through
SSHD – single pass-through
Solidigm™ (formerly Intel®) SSD 660p/665p Series. Support was added with the Intel® RST
17.5.2.x driver version.
Operating System:
Microsoft Windows 10 x64 bit (Version 1703/Build 15063) or greater required.
Note:
The Intel® Optane™ Memory and Storage Management application (see Section 5.1) requires Microsoft
Windows 10 x64 bit (Version 1803/Build 17134) or greater.

Drivers/Software
a.
b.
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) Windows Driver. See
here
for supported driver
versions per processor.
Intel® Optane™ Memory and Storage Management application, available
here.
1.3
Intel® Volume Management Device (Intel® VMD) Support
The 11
th
Generation Intel® Core™ Processors enabled support for Intel® VMD. This changes the way these
platforms are configured for Intel® RST and the related Intel® Optane™ memory technology vs. earlier processor
generations.
Following is a summary of these changes, related sections in the document will specify the proper settings for
Non-Intel® VMD systems vs Intel® VMD capable systems.
For how to determine if your platform is Intel® VMD capable or not, contact your system/motherboard vendor.
•
•
BIOS:
The settings in the BIOS are different from earlier, non-Intel® VMD capable platforms.
Operating System Installation:
o
Intel® VMD support starts with driver version 18.0.x, this version is not included in current Windows
10 OS builds.
o
Drives managed by Intel® VMD will not be detected during the OS installation process.
o
The f6flpy Intel® RST driver must be loaded during the installation process to detect these drives.
•
Windows Driver name:
o
Intel® VMD Capable/Enabled Platform: ‘iastorVD’
o
Non-Intel® VMD Capable Platform: ’iastorac’
•
Device Manager:
The listing will be under the ‘PCI Express Root Complex’ section.
1.4

Limitations/Things to Keep in Mind
The following items are important to keep in mind when configuring a system with Intel® Optane™ memory.
The Intel® Optane™ Memory Series and Intel® Optane™ Memory M10 Series parts are not supported on 12
th
Generation Intel® Processor based platforms. These devices are also not supported with driver versions 19.x and
greater. See
here
for more information
The acceleration of the following “Slower media” is not supported:
o
RAID volumes or other multiple disk/drive configurations
o
PCIe NVMe drives that are not listed in Section 1.2
o
Drives with more than one system partition, dual boot OS for example.
•
•
•
Dynamic type drives are not supported, only Basic type.
MBR Partition structure is not supported, any drives to be accelerated must have a GUID Partition Structure (GPT).
see Section 2.2 for options to check the partition structure and make changes if needed.
