Well Intel is stopping you from using an Optane on anything they don't want you to.As for caching, for the consumer space Windows pretty much IS "everywhere", Linux is only a tiny portion of users and I am pretty sure BSD is lumped in under "other" so that makes the OS-X implementation much more relevant. I do suppose this is more of a Windows rant, though, and I'd still like to see that as a hardware feature under NVMe and AHCI rather than being embedded into SSHDs or having the choice between Intel SRT and hoping maybe one day AMD will jump on the bandwagon.Dealing with networked or cloud storage is a different matter. All of the major OSes out there deal reasonably well with being able to sync cloud/networked files, but it's also not as automatic as it could be sometimes.
