Explanation

An NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) port on a desktop PC motherboard is a high-speed interface, typically using the PCIe bus, designed to connect storage devices that can take advantage of its low latency and high bandwidth. Solid-state drives (SSDs) are the type of storage device that uses non-volatile memory (like NAND flash) and are specifically designed to leverage the speed and parallelism of the NVMe interface. They commonly come in the M.2 form factor that plugs directly into an NVMe-enabled M.2 slot on the motherboard.
