What is NVMe?
It means (Quick Non-Volatile Memory) is a new storage access and transfer protocol for flash drives and next-generation solid-state drives (SSDs) that delivers the highest transfer rate and fastest response times yet for all types of enterprise workloads.
Today, in both consumer and business applications, users expect faster response times, even as the applications themselves become more complex and resource-intensive.
NVMe specifications take advantage of non-volatile memory in all types of computing environments. It is future adaptable, and extensible to work with persistent memory technologies that have not yet been invented.
Benefits of NVMe for data storage #
It’s time to use NVMe storage in your enterprise data center because it saves time.
- Unlike protocols designed in the days of mechanical hard drives, NVMe benefits not only from solid-state storage, but also multi-core CPUs and gigabytes of memory.
- NVMe storage also benefits from streamlined command sets for efficient data analysis and processing.
- It also ensures that you do not lose data that occurred when previous hard drives were damaged.
- There is no need to remind you of how much speed you will get when you use NVMe
Should you buy an NVMe SSD? #
Whether you need faster speeds comes down to the specific workload. But while NVMe drives are dropping in price—both the NVMe Samsung 970 Pro and SATA Samsung 860 Pro are about $150 for 500GB—don’t feel like you need to rush out and replace a SATA SSD.
A SATA SSD will really boot up your computer in a few seconds, launch programs in a snap, and let you copy and move files relatively quickly. But if you work with a lot of huge video footage—whether it’s from a database, video editing, or burning Blu Rays—the extra cost may pay off by allowing you to work faster.
Whether you still have some life in your SATA SSD or need something now, just know that NVMe drives are starting to decline. Upgrade and spend money when you need to, not a moment ago.
