[Question] Does anyone use or have used the Intel Optane 16gb H10 drive as swap?

I'm using a 16gb ram machine and bought the pure optane drive for less than 10 dollars (converting from reais and adding the 2 day delivery), 16gb of ram is 15 times that rn.

As I'm using a swap partition with zswap on a LUKS encrypted drive, at least I'm expecting it to have better performance overall when hitting the swap.

If no one used, I might post about the performance difference later this week.
