Some stress testing with older SSD's here - https://vi-control.net/community/threads/performance-to-be-e...

I use Spitfire stuff, mainly Albion, but the voice requirements these guys have is on another level. The Optane speedup would certainly mean more voices, and perhaps remove the need to have separate SSD's for each large kontakt library?

yeah, vi-control is a really good forum for these discussions :) I am waiting for a post from Chimuelo saying he's tried optane, as he seems to regularly try new hardware. I would think that optane would be amazing for this and would basically make your CPU the limiter as opposed to your storage, on the other hand it makes me wonder if Kontakt can take full advantage of this.
