How important is a nvme SSD?

While the benchmarks of an NVME drive show a massively significant speed increase, in actuality most pieces of software - the actual performance improvement is almost imperceptible.

Is the extra $100+ for a faster drive worth the few extra seconds? IMO no.

Unless you’re wanting to move your system storage from SATA-type storage to NVME for your entire rig, I wouldn’t bother.

I use a 1TB NVME for my Windows installation and at $250, it was the first time I felt like I wasted my money on a PC component, compared to the 1TB SATA SSD I now use exclusively for game installs.

At least there’s less cable management :stuck_out_tongue:
