I agree with ionutd btw. The speed impact of he NVMe is a bit overhyped.
For example, if your computer took 20 seconds to start up with a normal 7200RPM HD (200 MB/s), it will take 8 seconds to start up with an SSD (500 MB/s) and it will take 2 seconds to start up with a standard NVMe (2GB/s). Any cash you invest beyond that (RAID0, PCIE4, top of the bill NVMe) is barely gaining you anything.
it's not just boot up times, cause really, how often do you power up your pc every day?
ppl who work with large files in particular will benefit substantially from nvme speeds in day to day use tho
video editors, CAD designers, data analysts etc
for example I have 10gb+ solver files that take 20-30s to open on an nvme and 3 min on a cheap WD Green sata. Wouldn't even bother on a hdd.
same with hand histories, it's hell importing a couple million hands in HEM/PT on a hdd
