The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-iOL) formed Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Consortium to broaden industry support and cooperation for the adoption of PCIe SSDs. As an industry leader in both enterprise and consumer-based SSDs, SanDisk is among the founding members.

The Consortium will focus on using NVMe as the protocol interface for PCIe flash-based SSDs, allowing members to test interoperability and conformity to industry standards in a vendor neutral location.

SanDisk’s participation in this collaborative testing model not only helps drive innovation in demanding enterprise storage environments, but underscores our commitment to be an end-to-end resource for IT managers and OEM system developers.
