I have some moderate-sized CAD files (150-500MB).
They're annoyingly slow on my RAID6 array (13x 4TB) when it comes to opening and saving them (the I/O grinds the entire CAD program to a halt until it finishes).
My motherboard supports M.2 PCI-E 4x, so a drive like this would work. That it's bootable isn't a concern--this would solely be a drive to throw my CAD files on. Windows would remain on the 1TB SSD on which it is currently installed.
Would that actually speed load/save times for these files?
The application in question is Rhino 3D.
