Discover NVMe™

Faster data transfer, lower latency, next-gen performance — NVMe is the future of solid state flash storage for productivity, gaming, data centers, and more.

Why Choose NVMe?

High bandwidth

Up to 1000MB/s per lane — with up to four lanes per device.

Low latency

Help maximize efficiency and process data faster with up to 64K commands per queue.

Scalability

Do more with less, with performance that increases at higher capacities.

Learn More About NVMe Internal SSDs

NVMe — or non-volatile memory express — is a storage and transport protocol for solid state drives. NVMe SSDs deliver higher performance and lower latency than previous protocols, making them ideal for compute-intensive applications such as professional creative work, PC and console gaming, and enterprise data center environments.
