Overview

The nvme driver provides support for NVMe, or NVM Express, storage controllers conforming to the Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface specification.

Although the NVMe specification provides its own command set, the nvme driver provides access to the storage via a SCSI translation layer.

Sensor values are made available through the hw.sensors sysctl(8) interface.
