5 reasons you should replace your regular SSD with an NVMe if you haven't already
It's a pretty established fact that adding an SSD to an old PC is one of the biggest improvements to its overall performance. But what about if you already have an SSD but are tempted by the recent price drops of NVMe storage? Will that upgrade bring a similar boost to performance, or is it something you could leave until you next buy a new computer? Well, while it won't bring the super speed-up of moving from an HDD to an SSD, putting NVMe in your computer does come with some worthwhile benefits for the upgrade.
Some quite valid points made in the linked article. Something I did not think about was the SATA connector itself limits throughput speed vs a PCIe connector.
But for many of us who still have boards with only a single M.2 slot connector. In my board's case, using that slot would mean two of my SATA SSDs I think being disabled. But for my future motherboard purchase, I'll certainly be looking for multiple M.2 slot connectors on the board. Most of the clutter of cables inside my case is due to the many drives connected in there.
