However, they are not only used on computers for home and business use, but they are also available on servers as they reduce bandwidth by taking less time to provide the necessary information at all times.
Storage drive manufacturer KIOXIA has just announced two new NVMe SSDs for the CM7 and CD8P series. Both drives have achieved PCIe 5.0 and NVM3 2.0 certification. These tests were performed at PCI-SIG facilities using their own equipment. PCIe 5.0 doubles the data transfer speed and bandwidth compared to PCIe 4.0.
Additionally, they have also passed University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab testing to receive NVMe 2.0 certification.
