Hey guys, just put together a light gaming PC. I've been out of the loop forever so all of these new SSD form factors, interfaces, and even NAND types were refreshing (and confusing) to read up on.
I ended up skimping on the storage and just recycled an old 256GB SSD I had laying around. I believe it's a 256GB Samsung 830 or 840 series SATA SSD from at least 5 years ago.
How much practical performance benefit am I missing out on by not switching to one of the new M.2 NVMe SSDs? Is the SATA -> NVMe performance jump as drastic as the HDD -> SSD performance jump?
