PCI-SIG® is comprised of multiple technical work groups (TWGs) that work towards the development of PCI Express® (PCIe®) technology. Work groups are open to all PCI-SIG member company representatives and allow companies to further the PCIe specifications.

The SD Association (SDA) recently announced SD Express, which adds the PCI Express^® and NVMe™ interfaces to the SD interface. The PCIe^® interface delivers transfer rates up to 985 megabytes per second (MB/s) and supports backward compatibility with existing SD hosts.

PCI Express^® – also known as PCIe – used to get a bad rap for being power hungry on servers and PCs. But I’m happy to say that this is no longer the case. Are you aware that PCIe today is extremely power efficient with built-in low power features?
