NVM Express devices exist both in form of standard-sized PCI Express expansion cards and as 2.5-inch form-factor devices that provide a four-lane PCI Express interface through the U.2 connector (formerly known as SFF-8639). As a result, NVM Express reduces I/O overhead and brings various performance improvements in comparison to previous logical device interfaces, including multiple, long command queues, and reduced latency. NVM Express, as a logical device interface, has been designed from the ground up to capitalize on the low latency and internal parallelism of flash-based storage devices, mirroring the parallelism of contemporary CPUs, platforms and applications.īy its design, NVM Express allows levels of parallelism found in modern SSDs to be fully utilized by the host hardware and software.
“NVM” stands as an initialism for “non-volatile memory”, which is commonly flash memory that comes in form of solid-state drives (SSDs). “ NVM Express (NVMe) or Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface Specification (NVMHCI) is a logical device interface specification for accessing non-volatile storage media attached via PCI Express (PCIe) bus. If any errors are displayed, please create a post in the Support Forum with your particular problem. It only takes a few seconds to Secure Erase an NVMe device, so don’t be alarmed if it’s only active for 3 seconds.Īfter the erase is finished you’ll see your device listed as successfully erased or an error message will be displayed. Press the “Start Erase” button.įor this step we simply created a bouncy box instead of a progress bar. This must be ticked before the “Start Erase” button is active. Once you are happy with your section, tick the box labeled “I allow this utility to erase the listed device(s).”. If you need to make changes, use the “Back” button. Take the time to go over your selections and make sure the wrong device is not listed. The continue button will not start the secure erase at this point. Press the “Continue” button to go to the “Confirmation Dialog”. Once the Erase starts, it will be impossible to get the data back. Hover the mouse over each device to make sure the correct device is selected to be erased. The selection dialog will list the detected NVMe devices on your computer. This will bring you the the menu where you’ll find the NVMe Secure Erase program.
To start the NVMe Secure Erase of your NVMe SDD, first double click on the desktop icon “Erase Disk”.
