NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a high-speed storage protocol designed for flash memory, replacing the older SATA interface built for spinning disks. It delivers the throughput and low latency that AI training data pipelines require when feeding terabytes to GPUs. NVMe is the standard interface for the high-end SSDs used in AI storage tiers.
