It depends on how you hear it when you read it. If you automatically
expand the acronym, "Non-Volatile ...", then it should get the "a"
article.

If you instead try to pronounce "nvme" directly, it sounds like you're
saying "envy me", like commanding everyone to acknowledge your
awesomeness. Not sure if they had that in mind when deciding on the
name, but it's kind of amusing. Anyway, pronounce it that way, it gets
an "an". :)
