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 hitting them. But now with the second-generation AMD EPYC 7002 CPUs, PCIe 4.0 is here, and KIOXIA is leveraging it with the CM6 SSDs.
