Why PCIe Flash Changes Enterprise Performance
Unlike traditional SAS or SATA SSDs that communicate through RAID controllers, PCIe flash communicates directly with the CPU across the PCI Express bus.
The result is significantly lower latency, dramatically higher IOPS, faster transaction processing and improved application responsiveness.
For enterprise databases and virtualization clusters, these advantages translate into measurable improvements in user experience and infrastructure efficiency.
