NVMe is a logical device interface specification for accessing non-volatile storage media attached via a PCI Express bus. The NVMe 1.3 specification has been published, and it introduces several new features:

As with previous updates to the standard, most of the new features are optional but will probably see widespread adoption in their relevant market segments over the next few years. Several of the new NVMe features are based on existing features of other storage interfaces and protocol such as eMMC and ATA. Here are some of the most interesting new features:

Device Self Tests
Boot Partitions
Sanitize
Virtualization
Namespace Optimal IO Boundary
Directives and Streams
Non-Operational Power State Permissive Mode
Host Controlled Thermal Management

    Me too.

    I've only got one machine capable of socketing a NVMe.
    As prices fall we can move away from drive-bay SSDs and put it all on the the mother board and use drives for backup only.

    But even today, a drive bay SSD using clunky old Sata II or III makes for an amazing upgrade to any older laptop.
