NVMe SSDs have taken over as the top performers across the board. They started off by making huge leaps and bounds over SAS and SATA drives, but in recent years have slowly been eking out a little more performance with each iteration. There is an upper limit with PCIe 3.0 and the current drives are

The NVMe interface, specifically PCIe 3.0 NVMe 1.3, has been the preferable SSD interface for virtually any use case for a while now. This interface has been used time and again as vendors continue to improve in performance with each new generation. PCIe has now entered into 4.0, bringing with it a massive gains in

Today Western Digital announced a new storage platform, the Western Digital OpenFlex Data24. Along with the new platform, they also announced new NVMe Data Center SSDs in the Western Digital Ultrastar DC SN840. While the SN840 drives come with the OpenFlex Data24, and is designed to work well with it, the drive is also ideal
