The NVM Express (NVMe) specification was introduced in 2011 and today it is the new standard storage interface for Solid-State Drives (SSD). The NVM Express specification defines a controller interface for PCIe SSD used for Enterprise and Client applications. It is based on a queue mechanism with advanced register interface, command set and feature set including error logging, status, system monitoring (SMART, health), and firmware management).
The southbridge is one of the two chips in the core logic chipset on a personal computer (PC) motherboard, the other being the northbridge. The southbridge typically implements the slower capabilities of the motherboard in a northbridge/southbridge chipset computer architecture (Wikipedia).
