In the world of technology, innovations are constant in both hardware and software. Some of them completely revolutionize the market, becoming new standards, such as Bluetooth technology, an invention that entered the IT market in 1999 and remains highly relevant today.
However, what happens when a new technology emerges with the same potential to revolutionize or improve a standard but, unlike Bluetooth, goes unnoticed? This is the case with NVMe.
NVMe is the latest and most innovative technology when it comes to solid-state drives (SSD), and thanks to tangible benefits such as higher speed, better performance, and lower power consumption, just to name a few, it is becoming the new trend and usage standard in the world of storage.
Benefits of NVMe SSD technology
NVMe storage is faster than any other type of storage currently known, is silent, and is the size of a stick of gum, allowing its use in small devices to instantly give them the ability to perform at their best.
An important aspect of its operation is that it has greater bandwidth and much higher data performance than other types of previous-generation SSDs. This is because the new generation of NVMe devices uses the PCIe 4.0 standard to read, write, and move data. This standard has a data performance bandwidth that is several times greater than the fastest SATA devices, reaching up to 32Gb per second. To put it more simply, NVMe technology has more “lanes” through which to move more data and, therefore, also greater speed.
Its applications are vast, and at its most sophisticated level of use, it can be implemented in areas such as IT network infrastructure, data centers that need to store large amounts of information, and even in applications related to Artificial Intelligence, such as AI-assisted diagnostics in the healthcare sector.
However, this does not mean that NVMe technology does not have practical use for the end consumer—quite the opposite. Thanks to its compact format, it is possible to install it in small devices such as a laptop without the need for it to be a high-end computer. In this sense, Kingston, the leading company in storage and memory solutions, recommends the KC3000 drive, which is ideal for users who demand higher performance from their equipment. Its compact design easily fits small form factor systems and laptops.
On the other hand, NVMe is also ideal for enhancing the gaming experience. The Kingston FURY Renegade PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD is compatible not only with PC but also with PlayStation 5, where, once installed, it can reduce loading times from 40-60 seconds to just 3 or 4 seconds. It also comes equipped with an aluminum heat spreader that provides an extra layer of thermal dissipation to cool the drive and maintain maximum performance.
Undoubtedly, the process of “evangelizing” both the industry and especially consumers about NVMe technology and its advantages is a work in progress. As more people experience its potential, there will be greater awareness of its benefits and, even more importantly, its legitimacy as the new standard in storage.
