The highest-performance tier for databases, virtualization, and AI workloads. NVMe drives in U.2, M.2, and PCIe add-in formats.
Browse 1,343 products in NVMe Drives.
NVMe attaches flash directly to PCIe lanes, removing the SAS/SATA controller bottleneck entirely — latency drops to microseconds and a single drive can deliver hundreds of thousands of IOPS. It is the default tier for high-transaction databases, dense virtualization, real-time analytics, and AI/ML data pipelines.
Form factor matters: U.2 (2.5") drives hot-swap in NVMe-enabled server backplanes like recent PowerEdge and ProLiant generations; M.2 sticks serve boot duty (often in pairs on a BOSS or equivalent boot controller); PCIe add-in cards retrofit NVMe performance into servers without NVMe backplanes. We stock enterprise NVMe from Samsung, Micron, Intel/Solidigm, Kioxia, and OEM-branded equivalents.
Only if it has NVMe-capable bays or a free PCIe slot for an add-in card or M.2 adapter. Send us your server model and we will confirm which NVMe options it supports.
U.2 is a 2.5" hot-swappable enterprise form factor with full power-loss protection and high capacities; M.2 is a compact stick format most often used for boot drives inside the chassis.
Roughly 5-10x on throughput and far lower latency: SATA tops out at ~550 MB/s, while enterprise PCIe Gen4 NVMe drives commonly exceed 6,000 MB/s with sub-100-microsecond access times.
