NVMe, SATA SSD, and hard disks

NVMe is a type of SSD, so the comparison that matters is NVMe against SATA. The interface is the difference: PCIe instead of a 550 MB/s SATA ceiling.

What NVMe changes

The workloads where disk latency is measurable.

Database queries

Lower storage latency helps when indexes and joins have to reach disk.

Build pipelines

Dependency installs and compile steps spend less time waiting on I/O.

Container images

Pulling and unpacking layers benefits from fast random access.

Game map loads

World and asset files can be read without a mechanical disk in the way.

Log-heavy services

Frequent writes get the I/O headroom of PCIe-connected storage.

Large file operations

Imports, exports, and local backups make use of higher throughput.

NVMe across every tier

Cost Optimized and General Purpose use AMD EPYC Milan 7003 Series. High Performance offers AMD Ryzen 9 at speeds up to 5.7 GHz or AMD EPYC Genoa 9004 Series with DDR5 RAM. NVMe storage stays standard throughout.

Get started in four steps

  1. Choose a tier

    Compare Cost Optimized, General Purpose, and High Performance by CPU profile.

  2. Choose a size

    Every listed size includes NVMe storage.

  3. Deploy

    Linux images are ready in under 30 seconds. Eligible Windows Server plans with 2 or more vCPU take 2 minutes.

  4. Connect

    Use root SSH with a Linux image, or Remote Desktop as administrator on Windows Server.

NVMe VPS questions

NVMe VPS hosting is a virtual private server that stores data on PCIe-connected NVMe drives. This can reduce storage latency for databases, builds, containers, and other disk-heavy workloads.

NVMe is a type of SSD storage, so the useful comparison is NVMe against SATA SSD. NVMe connects over PCIe and usually handles frequent small reads and writes with lower latency.

There is no single speed multiplier because VPS storage performance depends on the hardware, allocation, and workload. NVMe avoids SATA's interface limit and usually shows its biggest benefit in random I/O and storage latency.

Yes. Cost Optimized, General Purpose, and High Performance plans all include NVMe storage.

Arct Cloud's cheapest NVMe VPS is the $3.89/mo Cost Optimized plan. It includes 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, and 15 GB NVMe storage.

Cheap VPS plans

NVMe helps workloads that read or write data often, such as databases, build pipelines, containers, and log-heavy services. CPU-bound applications may benefit more from a faster processor tier.

The largest General Purpose and High Performance plans include 300 GB NVMe storage. Cost Optimized plans go up to 150 GB.
