My Intell computer has a 32gb Optain memory SATA card on the motherboard.That makes the C drive on an hhd run faster and more reliable.

Can I safely replace the SATA style 32gb Optain memory card with a 500gb sata m.2 card? Would there be a big inprovement or not very noticeable?

Intel's Optane memory acts as a buffer between the RAM and the HD, not as a separate drive. You probably cannot replace it with a current SSD as it is a newer technology used in entirely different way.

Hybrid drives? Fusion drives? Same kinda thing.
