Intel optane + ssd, what's the point behind it?

If I remember correctly, the point of Intel Optane was that it makes slower hard drives faster, especially as a "hybrid system" with a small SSD and a large HDD. But lately I have been seeing laptops with 500gb ssd + optane. So my question now is the meaning behind it and whether that brings anything.

As far as I know, there's nothing if there's no HDD in the game, maybe there's still an HDD in the laptops or the Optane is intended for the case that you want to retrofit an HDD

Also work in IT. Is all marketing and the whole thing has ever been for

Spindle plates as the SSD's were still very expensive.

with a real SSD, there's little plus

I also thought, but I don't know how to retrofit the laptop here, so please take a look

The way you describe it: nothing at all.
But Optane is a brand name that seems to be used generally for SSDs.
Sometimes the first indication of the memory means a RAM cache. Like rhier for example: https://www.alternate.de/Intel/Optane-Memory-H10-32-GB-plus-1-TB-Solid-State-Drive/html/product/1545168?event=search

No, Optane is a trademark of Intel for 3D Xpoint memory, which Intel developed together with Micron. This is not classic NAND memory and also not volatile RAM.
