Curious to know, for those in software development, have you been able to discern improvements when moving from SATA ssd (not mechanical hdd) to NVME ssd?

Did compilation or debugging speed improve? Or the real world improvements not really noticeable?

I can't tell you for compilation or debugging but definitely in terms of search and lookup, indexing of files it helps a lot (SATA SSD vs Mech).

Just in file indexing. For compilation and debugging, better CPU helps.

I had thought that it would just be the transfer rates different?

My bad, wasn't specific enough. I understand CPU upgrade is the biggest contributor. But my question is only on the SATA > NVME ssd upgrade.

Specifically, will the $50-100 price difference (of a NVME ssd) result in a noticeable improvement? As compared to a regular SATA ssd? Has anyone been able to see it?

Boot time and app loading speed.

Mainly affects application with alot reads and writes in ssd.or
You can Google about it .
Not much real life benefits since normal ssd already very fast ....

M2 size factor is the main reason why ppl opt for it.performance upgrade is a only a plus.

Thanks! Good to know can save some cash when space is not a big concern.

Depends on your programming on how intensive i/o involvement is and likewise how many files compilation you are going through.

In other words, the bigger the project, the more beneficial it will be.
