Primocache Performance Between SATA III SSD and NVMe SSD?

Hey guys,

 

I'm considering getting PrimoCache for a 2TB 7200RM Seagate Hard Drive I'm going to get for games, particularly FS2020. Unfortunately, my beefy GPU covers both PCIe slots, so I won't be able to install a PCIe to M.2 expansion card and use a 256GB NVMe SSD for my cache. My question is, how much is the performance loss from an NVMe SSD to a SATA SSD for such a task? I could use some of my 1TB NVMe Windows Drive for my cache, but since it's almost full I really would rather avoid this.

 

Thanks for the help!
