You might notice around a 10% variation in loading speeds when comparing Sata SSDs and M.2 NVMe drives. Although the technical details differ significantly, especially for faster NVMe models, the impact on game performance is usually just a few seconds at most. It’s not a big upgrade unless you already own a Sata SSD or want to cut costs. Even moving to more premium PCI-E options like Optane offers less than a 5% improvement, which in most games translates to under a second of difference.
