The full form of NVMe is Non-Volatile Memory Express.
NVMe is a modern storage protocol designed for high-speed communication between SSDs (Solid State Drives) and a computer's CPU or servers. It leverages the PCI Express (PCIe) bus to significantly improve performance compared to older storage interfaces. The technology was developed by a consortium of major IT companies starting in 2008.
Here's a breakdown:
- Non-Volatile Memory: Refers to storage that retains data even when power is off, like SSDs.
- Express: Indicates the use of the high-speed PCIe interface.
