When shopping for hosting plans, you will often see the term NVMe SSD used as a selling point. Here is why it matters more than marketing.
The Numbers
Traditional HDDs maxed out at around 100-200 MB/s sequential read speed. SATA SSDs reached 500-600 MB/s. NVMe SSDs connect directly to the CPU via PCIe lanes rather than through the SATA interface. NVMe sequential read speeds: 3,000-7,000 MB/s.
What This Means for Your Website
Website performance depends on how quickly the server can read your files from storage. On a shared server hosting hundreds of sites simultaneously, storage speed becomes a significant bottleneck. With NVMe storage, the server can read files 5-10 times faster than with SATA SSD. Benchmarks consistently show NVMe hosting delivering 30-60% faster Time to First Byte on equivalent hardware.
All our hosting plans use NVMe SSD storage. View plans and get started.
