FREE 1-DAY AIR OVERNIGHT SHIPPING

Description:

You are looking at a "Unicorn" piece of hardware. This is a genuine Intel Optane 300 Series (Crow Pass) module, a technology that was cancelled by Intel shortly before mass production. Finding these modules in the wild is extremely rare.

This is a Qualification Sample (QS), model NMC2XBD256GQSE4. Unlike early engineering samples (ES), QS modules are typically final-silicon revisions sent to partners for validation.

Specifications:

Model: NMC2XBD256GQSE4

Capacity: 256GB

Generation: 300 Series (Crow Pass)

Interface: DDR5 (DDR-T2)

Status: Engineering/Qualification Sample (Label marked "Not for Sale or Lease")

⚠️ CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY WARNING ⚠️

Please read before buying!

This module uses the DDR5 physical interface but operates on the Intel Optane protocol.

REQUIRED CPU: Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Gen (Sapphire Rapids) or newer.

INCOMPATIBLE: This will NOT work with standard Desktop PCs, AMD systems, or older Xeon (Ice Lake/Cascade Lake) servers.

BIOS SUPPORT: Your motherboard BIOS must explicitly support Intel Optane 300 Series "Crow Pass".

Due to the experimental nature of this hardware and the cancellation of the product line, this item is sold primarily for hardware enthusiasts, researchers, and homelab collectors who understand the complexities of configuring Optane with Sapphire Rapids Engineering Samples.
