The NVMe protocol is newly designed specically for solid state drives (SSDs) and replaces older SATA protocols which were optimized for hard
disk drives. The new NVMe protocol has an interface and form-factor vastly different from prior storage solutions.
Fundamental changes in how storage connects to the PC system brings certain hardware and software requirements. Users are advised of the
following requirements to ensure compatibility and to gain the full benets of the revolutionary NVMe storage technology.
