Intended mainly for data centres, these SSDs are as good as it gets for high-speed storage. Using fast PCIe 3.0 lanes and the new Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) interface, which is designed specifically to take advantage of SSDs, these drives smash through previous SATA limitations with throughput of 2GB/s or more in some cases and high sustained performance too. The 2.5” models here use the new SFF-8639 connection, sometimes called Express Bay, which means they can be hot-swapped.

PCI-E 4.0 M.2 SSDs represent a significant leap in storage technology, offering enhanced speed and performance over previous PCI-E 3.0 SSDs. These SSDs utilise the PCI Express 4.0 interface to deliver faster data transfer rates, making them ideal for modern computing needs such as gaming, content creation, and everyday use.
