Hey maybe you or someone here can help me with this interesting problem I have. You see I wanted to put an Intel Optane SSD into an external enclosure to benchmark the absolute fastest Windows and Linux install and compare it to install times on other media(yeah I know i'm weird).
So I bought one of these SSDs off of ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Optane-Memory-M10-SSD-M-2-228...
And put it in this enclosure:

Instead of being recognized, one of the chips on the Optane ssd started to get very hot. Was wondering if anyone knowledgeable in Optane could explain where I went wrong here? Is it even possible to put Optane in an external enclosure and write to it like an SSD/external drive?
I am excited about Optane because it just seems like such an exotic technology given the interesting performance gains you get in terms of small file throughput.
You can use a USB enclosure + drive with a Raspberri Pi, e.g. [1] [2]
If you plan on something more CPU intensive (e.g. running VMs), another option that looks interesting is the System76 Meerkat [3]
