Is NVM Express Solution Ready to Use in Mainstream?
Non Volatile Memory (NVM) is a superb technology, at least if you appreciate the physical law behind: storing a data in an embedded location with no physical link, as you charge a cell by influence and read it without physically accessing the stored data. Although the semiconductor industry is building NVM IC for about 30 years now, and we discuss about using NVM storage (Solid State Drive: SSD) in place of Hard disk Drive (HDD) for probably 20 years, it’s only since 5 to 7 years that we consider SSD to be a storage solution complying with economic requirements, at least for enterprise. The cost per GB for SSD has enough decreased over the last decade to become competitive with HDD, even if SSD is still more expensive by a factor of 10.
