NVMe M.2 SSDs
NVMe M.2 SSDs are storage media that offer significantly greater performance compared to traditional SSDs. Thanks to the use of the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) interface and the M.2 standard, the drives ensure faster data transfer , lower latency and higher throughput. This makes them an ideal solution for applications requiring quick access to data, such as computer games, video editing, or intensive calculations. In addition, the M.2 format allows you to save space when building smaller computers, which makes them popular in laptops and minicomputers .
The overlay is compatible with the PCIe x1 interface in both Gen2 and Gen3 standards.
