Hardware apparatuses and methods for distributed durable and atomic transactions in non-volatile memory are described. In one embodiment, a hardware apparatus includes a hardware processor, a plurality of hardware memory controllers for each of a plurality of non-volatile data storage devices, and a plurality of staging buffers with a staging buffer for each of the plurality of hardware memory controllers, wherein each of the plurality of hardware memory controllers are to: write data of a data set that is to be written to the plurality of non-volatile data storage devices to their staging buffer, send confirmation to the hardware processor that the data is written to their staging buffer, and write the data from their staging buffer to their non-volatile data storage device on receipt of a commit command.
