An NVMe Controller is a specialized hardware component that manages data transfer between a computer's central processing unit (CPU) and NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) storage devices, such as solid-state drives (SSDs). It optimizes the performance of these devices by allowing faster data access and lower latency compared to traditional storage interfaces like SATA. The NVMe protocol is designed to take advantage of the high-speed capabilities of modern flash memory. By connecting directly to the CPU via the PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) bus, the NVMe Controller enables multiple data queues and parallel processing, significantly improving overall system performance and responsiveness.
