NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express)

Short definition

Modern SSD interface protocol — much faster than SATA SSDs because it talks directly to the PCIe bus.

NVMe is the storage interface protocol designed for modern SSDs. Unlike SATA-based SSDs (which were constrained by an interface designed for spinning disks), NVMe drives talk directly to the PCIe bus and support deeper command queues, lower latency, and higher parallelism. Real-world: NVMe drives commonly hit 3-7 GB/s sequential reads vs SATA SSDs' 500-600 MB/s ceiling.

For offshore hosting customers, NVMe storage is now the default at premium VPS tiers and dedicated servers. The advantages: faster I/O for database-heavy workloads, faster boot times, better random-read performance for forum / blog software. SilentHosts ships NVMe on all VPS / RDP / dedicated plans by default; HDD storage is reserved for storage-tier products optimized for capacity (seedboxes, backups).
