NVMe is the spec for controllers supporting NVM.

Think PCI vs PCIe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express

Thanks. I guess that still doesn't clear up why the whole article considers "Flash" and "NVM" as two distinct technologies/concepts/whatever.

Edit: even on that wikipedia page:

"The acronym NVM stands for non-volatile memory, which is often NAND flash memory"

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here

> Think PCI vs PCIe

That's even more confusing because those are basically two implementations of the exact same thing, but separated by a decade of tech improvements.
