2. Understanding PCIe and NVMe

The Transcend MTE220S SSD leverages advanced technologies for superior performance.

2.1. Interfície PCIe

PCIe (or PCI Express®) is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. It is a much faster interface than SATA (Serial ATA) for connecting a host computer to solid-state storage devices. PCIe uses lanes, each consisting of one transmit and one receive serial interface, allowing it to meet modern performance requirements.
