There is a U.2 port+connector for NVMe devices not plugged into motherboards directly. The only issue is lack of drives using that port in the consumer market.

I'm eager to see the performance improvements and compatibility enhancements that this kernel version brings.
Have you tested any specific workloads or benchmarks to measure the impact of these changes?

(2) There are dual actuator drives that get very close to the SATA limit. Sure, SAS 12G can handle those but in the long run, NVME will probably be cheaper. And having to deal with a single technology will make it easier to mix and match different storage technologies over the same backplane/fabric.

Why not? NVME support vastly more command queues and is both faster and more efficient over fiber channel. Just to name a couple of reasons.

Moore's law. SATA3 is limited to 600 MB/s per drive. NVMe already supports PCIe 5.0 16x drives already transfer up to 63 GB/s and more is expected with PCIe 6.0. You just need to spin the motor a bit faster.

I suspect it's about cutting a smaller disk to fit on the M.2 form factor. With the evolving magnetic density, you can still have a very high transfer rate and over 1TB capacities. A smaller radius disk reduces seek times, which was already exercised long time ago. Look up "short stroking hard disk".

support for offloading some host processing to NVMe storage devices
cant be bothered to check, but id be surprised if the infrastructure (or even the blocklist itself) arent already created.
