    I honestly don’t think any of this matters anymore. SSD in general is just good for gaming

    I haven’t even ‘upgraded’ from Sata SSD to nvme because…why bother. computer already boots within 5 seconds, it doesn’t need to boot in 1. all games perform flawless. this is just mix/maxing at this point and honestly nobody would notice a gaming difference between 550mb/sec vs 3000mb/sec

      The main benefit of nvme for me was the form factor since they are sit on the motherboard without needing any power or sata cords to route around the case.

      They make me want to build a small form factor case because the only connections to route would be power to the mobo!

      See the article.

      But also, I have a sata and nvme ssd in my rig, and I notice the difference (blindly) when I accidentally put something on the wrong drive.

      It’s even more dramatic for some non gaming stuff.
