Intel Optane Persistent Memory 100 Series 128GB (Dell SNPHVY68C)
I was given these two modules a while ago, but I don't really have a use for them since I moved to an EPYC-based setup, and these will not work in it. Testing was performed on a Dell R640 with Intel Xeon Gold 5218 2nd Gen Scalable CPUs. These things have barely been used.
About 26 power-on hours with 100% endurance remaining. Passed ipmctl health checks and diagnostics, a full address range scrub, a full-capacity write/verify, and a data-persistence check across a cold power cycle.
