| NVMe | NVMe (nonvolatile memory express) is an advanced storage protocol designed for flash and next-gen SSDs, providing unmatched throughput and rapid response times across all types of enterprise workloads. In both consumer and business applications, users now demand faster response times, despite applications growing increasingly complex and resource-intensive. To support a high-speed, low-latency experience, NVMe accesses flash storage through a PCI Express (PCIe) bus, which enables tens of thousands of parallel command queues—significantly outpacing hard disks and older all-flash setups that are limited to a single queue. The NVMe standard leverages nonvolatile memory across various computing environments, and it’s built to be future-ready, adaptable for emerging persistent memory technologies. |
