® (NVMe
®) technology is a high-performance storage protocol for non-volatile storage media directly connected to the CPU via PCI Express
® (PCIe
®) interface. PCIe architecture emerged as the next logical storage interface, following Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interfaces, which were not designed for high-speed, non-volatile storage media. PCIe architecture slots directly connect to the CPU, providing memory-like access allowing software stacks to run more efficiently.
