just watched jays video about making a computer faster.

Honest question... on a decently fast PC will I actually see any difference going from an SATA3 to MVME SSD? I am already using the M.2 form factor btw.

 

I know you see a huge boost going from Mech to SSD but I also know it's almost the same difference in speed going from SATA3 to MVME... Will I see that in the real world?

It depends on the programs you use, generally, sata3 is fine for most people. if you are video editing or transcoding, the use of faster drives helps a lot.

If you're using the drive as a scratch disk or you're gonna be dumping a lot of stuff onto and from the drive, then yes you will notice a difference between a NVME and SATA drive. For "regular" people, there's no point in upgrading a SATA SSD to a PCIe one. SATA SSDs are still pretty fast for most people.

I have both NVMe and regular SATA SSDs. In terms of real world day to day performance there is very little difference between the two types. NVMe may boot into Windows slightly faster and perform ever so slightly better in most tasks but the difference is certainly not worth the cost.

 

Where NVMe drives shine is in content creation tasks where you either handle large files or many files at once. It's also great to use as a scratch disk in Adobe Premiere Pro. Makes editing videos a breeze.

So I record videos of gameplay but I'm a pleb who uploads them raw.
