 Persistent memory (PMEM) devices are byte-addressable and if a direct access (DAX) persistent-memory aware file system (such as XFS, EXT4, or NTFS) is used, files on the file system can be accessed using the usual file system APIs in the OS. Alternatively, it can perform what is known as load and store operations against memory maps of the files on the device. This allows PMEM aware applications such as SQL Server to access files on the device without traversing the traditional storage stack.
 
-The hybrid buffer pool uses this ability to perform load and store operations against memory mapped files, to leverage the PMEM device as cache for the buffer pool as well as storing database files. This creates the unique situation where both a logical read and a physical read are essentially the same operation. Persistent memory devices are accessible via the memory bus just like regular volatile DRAM.

-Only clean data pages are cached on the device for the Hybrid Buffer Pool. When a page is marked as dirty, it is copied to the DRAM buffer pool before eventually being written back to the PMEM device and marked as clean again. This will occur during regular checkpoint operations in a manner similar to that performed against a standard block device.

This page maintenance will occur during regular checkpoint operations in a manner similar to that performed against a standard block device.
 
 The hybrid buffer pool feature is available for both Windows and Linux. The PMEM device must be formatted with a filesystem that supports DAX (DirectAccess). XFS, EXT4, and NTFS file systems all have support for DAX. SQL Server will automatically detect if data files reside on an appropriately formatted PMEM device and perform memory mapping of database files upon startup, when a new database is attached, restored, or created.

 ## Identifying the right disks  
- Setup of storage spaces in Windows Server 2016 and later, especially with advanced features, such as write-back caches is most easily achieved through PowerShell. The first step is to identify which disks should be part of the Storage Spaces pool that the virtual disk will be created from. NVDIMM-Ns have a media type and bus-type of SCM (storage class memory) , which can be queried via the Get-PhysicalDisk PowerShell cmdlet.
