Looking for a new SSD

Basically not at all, 3.0x2 is capable of 2GB/s (theoretically). 

 

Besides, SSDs don't feel fast because of the read/write speeds, they feel fast because of the latency, so unless you're reading/writing massive files constantly, there's literally no difference between the fastest NVME SSD and a fast SATA 3 SSD.

Hey guys, wanted to get some questions answered before I go out and buy an SSD. The laptop I'm buying it for is a GE63VR and after looking at the internals it has an open m.2 slot which looks like to be for a nvme drive gen 3 x2 PCIE. What I'm concerned about is how much of a bottleneck the x2 PCIE slot will be for a nvme drive.
