Worth it to hoot compared to Sata 6mbps SSD for gaming?

I can't feel e speed difference to be honest
Get normal 2.5" ssd cheaper

Thanks. A lot of reviews out there on the crazy specs performance delta but nobody talking about practical results in gaming

good for benchie...but cant feel the difference in real world for end consumers unless you go into server-like storage needs.

definitely not much improvement for gaming..unless compare against normal HDD

Honestly for gaming, I think 2x SSD in RAID0 very enough liao..

If i cant see the diff for pcie ssd, then either sata based ssd or m.2-sata ssd shld do fine for normal consumers for gaming, surfing net, etc?

Haha you'd think 20mbps vs 6mbps should feel a difference...but prefer to rely on hwz bros' actual experience.

All I can say is:
I can
1. Record 1080p60 footage from my PS4
2. Do full virus scanning
3. Open browser to look up PS4 game guides
at the same time on the SSD without any slowdown at all.

Even after doing all that I am still under utilising the SSD.
