LXer: NVMe vs SSD: Speed, Storage & Mistakes to Avoid
by LXer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BM0J)
Published at LXer:
NVMe is not affected by the ATA interface constrictions as it sits right on the top of the PCI Express directly connected to the CPU. That results in 4 times faster Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPs) rivaling the fastest SAS option out there. The seek time for data is ten times faster. NVMe can deliver sustained read-write speed of 2000MB per second, way faster than the SATA SSD III, which limits at 600MB per second. Here the bottleneck is NAND technology, which is rapidly advancing, which means we'll likely see higher speeds soon with NVMe.
