Zusammenfassung:A non-volatile memory express (NVMe) switch is located in between a host and storage. A first storage access command is received from a host via a peripheral computer interface express (PCIe) interface to access the storage. The first storage access command conforms to NVMe and the storage comprises two or more solid-state drives (SSDs). A respective second storage access command is sent to the two or more SSDs based on the first storage access command. A respective completion is received from each of the two or more SSDs based on the respective second storage access command. A completion is sent to the host via the PCIe interface based on the received completions from each of the two or more SSDs.
