[Question] Does anyone use or have used the Intel Optane 16gb H10 drive as swap? (mbin.potato-guy.space)

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.

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