This is the first I've heard of NVMe. I just read
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express , and now have some questions:
1) Can I replace the spinning platter 2.5" hard disk in my 5 year old
laptop with an NVMe device? My research tells me an NVMe must plug
into a PCIe slot rather than a SATA slot.
2) Do you fstrim NVMe-hosted partitions the same way you do for SSD?
3) When you install an NVMe card in a PCIe slot, what device name shows
up? Is it sd-whatever, or something else?
4) If my desktop has a free PCIe slot, does that mean I can plug in an
NVIe drive and use it?
Thanks,
