![]() NVMe has been designed from the ground up, capitalizing on the low latency and parallelism of PCI Express SSDs, and fulfilling the parallelism of contemporary CPUs, platforms and applications. Such an interface has some inherent inefficiencies when applied to SSD devices, which behave much more like DRAM than like spinning media. This is because AHCI was developed back at the time when the purpose of a host bus adapter (HBA) in a system was to connect the CPU/memory subsystem with a much slower storage subsystem based on rotating magnetic media. While Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) interface has the benefit of legacy software compatibility, it does not deliver optimal performance when an SSD is connected via PCI Express bus. “NVM” stands as an acronym for “Non-Volatile Memory”, which is used in SSDs. ![]() ![]() NVMe is a specification for accessing Solid-State Drives (SSDs), which are attached through the PCI Express (PCIe) bus.
