Explanation of NVMe for Everyone

I was talking to a friend recently about his computer build and one thing struck me. He had bought an NVMe drive not because he knew what it was or how it differed from anything else but because he felt overwhelmed by information when trying to research it. Due to this he just made his purchase based on the advice of a popular youtube channel. Working with storage professionally I was a bit taken aback by the lack of simple, plain english, easily accessible information on what the actual differences are. This blog is going to be my effort to clear the air and provide the layman’s guide to understanding what NVMe is as a technology and why it matters to you. This should be applicable all the way from DIY computer builders people setting up enterprise architectures.
