NVMe

abbreviationStandard termElectronics

A high-speed interface protocol designed for accessing solid-state drives over a PCIe bus.

An abbreviation for Non-Volatile Memory Express, a communications protocol optimized specifically for solid-state storage. It bypasses the bottlenecks of older SATA interfaces by supporting thousands of parallel command queues directly over the PCIe bus, drastically reducing latency and maximizing data throughput.

The motherboard only has one slot that supports full NVMe speeds, so put the primary boot drive there.
