NVMe-based PCI Express (PCIe) SSDs accounted for about 40% of the enterprise SSD market in 2018, with slower SATA SSDs at 31% and SAS SSDs at 29%, according to market research firm Forward Insights. Forward Insights forecasts that NVMe-based PCIe SSDs will command 60% of the market by early 2019, with SAS at 25% and SATA at 15%.
Forward Insights analyst Greg Wong said hyperscale data centers are replacing SATA drives with NVMe SSDs, and OEMs are also moving to NVMe drives. He predicted that new all-flash arrays would gradually transition to dual-ported NVMe SSDs in place of SAS SSDs.
