NVMe, or Non-Volatile Memory Express, is a high-speed interface designed for accessing solid-state drives (SSDs) and other non-volatile memory storage. It allows data to be transferred between the storage device and the computer's processor more efficiently than older protocols, such as SATA and SAS. This results in faster read and write speeds, improving overall system performance. The NVMe protocol takes advantage of the parallelism of modern flash memory technology, enabling multiple commands to be processed simultaneously. This capability significantly reduces latency and enhances data transfer rates, making it ideal for applications that require quick access to large amounts of data, such as gaming, video editing, and data analytics.
