NVMe is the protocol designed for flash storage like SSDs, as we move beyond the legacy AHCI standards used in SATA SSDs and spinning-disk hard drives.
NVMe SSDs in client systems, such as desktops, laptops and workstations, can greatly improve overall PC performance.
NVMe is now the standard protocol for SSDs to empower data centres and enterprise environments.
The differences between various SSD tech such as SATA & NVMe and the benefits of the latest tech.

Data centres should be using server SSDs. There are many benefits over client drives and costs have come down.
Choosing the right SSD for your server is important since server SSDs are optimized to perform at a predictable latency level while client (desktop/laptop) SSDs are not. These difference result in better uptime and less lag for critical apps and services.
Industry Expert, Simon Besteman provide insight on why 5G demands edge computing in micro data centers.
SDS hasn’t lived up to its hype but now that NVMe is more affordable, the commodity hardware is ready to deliver.
Cloud and on-premise data centre managers can learn a lot from supercomputing.
Cameron Crandall of Kingston helps you decide if you should move to your server storage to NVMe SSDs.
Kingston delivered compatible memory that met the performance goals of i3D.net's servers, extending the service life of their existing hardware.
1. Some of the listed capacity on a Flash storage device is used for formatting and other functions and thus is not available for data storage. As such, the actual available capacity for data storage is less than what is listed on the products. For more information, go to Kingston's Flash Memory Guide.
2. Workload based on FIO, random 4KB QD=1 workload, measured as the time taken for 99.9% of commands to finish the round-trip from host to drive and to host.
3. Measurement taken once the workload has reached steady state but including all background activities required for normal operation and data reliability.
4. Based on 960GB capacity.
5. Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD).
6. Limited warranty based on 5 years or when the usage of an NVME SSD as indicated by Kingston’s implementation of the Health attribute “Percentage Used” reaches or exceeds a normalized value of one hundred (100) as indicated by the Kingston SSD Manager. For NVMe SSDs, a new unused product will show a Percentage Used value of 0, whereas a product that reaches it warranty limit will show a Percentage Used value of greater than or equal to one hundred (100).
