4LOOK FOR NVMe SUPPORT IN SOFTWARE

5M.2 SSDs WITH V-NAND BRING IT ALL TOGETHER

Early PCIe SSDs used proprietary

software for better PERFORMANCE

Hard drives and older SATA SSDs

used AHCI drivers forCOMPATIBILITY

NVM EXPRESS ACHIEVES BOTH WITH A NEW STANDARDmade for multicore, multi-threading machines like Microsoft Windows 10,

Mac OS Yosemite, Linux, and Google Chrome OS
