    Which solid-state drive (SSD) interface typically offers the highest performance?

    a)
    SATA III
    b)
    NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express)
    c)
    mSATA
    d)
    USB 3.0

    Explanation

    NVMe is a protocol designed specifically for SSDs to communicate directly with the CPU via the high-speed PCIe bus. This bypasses the older SATA bus bottleneck, resulting in significantly lower latency and much higher data transfer speeds compared to SATA-based SSDs.
