The ThinkServer 3.84TB PCIe 3.0 NVMe Enterprise Mainstream Flash Adapter utilizes Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) technolology to provide high I/O throughput and low latency. NVMe interfaces remove SAS/SATA bottlenecks and unleash all of the capabilities of contemporary NAND flash memory. This flash adapter has a direct PCIe 3.0 x4 connection providing at least two times more bandwidth and two times less latency than SATA/SAS-based solid state drive solutions. It is also optimized for heavy multi-threaded workloads by using internal parallelism and many other improvements, such as an enlarged I/O queue.
