However, loading sample libraries the speed difference becomes more obvious and beneficial. Of course the trade off, is NVMe storage costs more. Personally, I have NVMe as boot drive, scratch disk for heavy data workloads, along with sample libraries I use on the daily (basically, pt instruments). Then I have a large SSD for samples I don't use as often (Kontakt Library etc), another SSD for current session projects, and then 4x HDD NAS for master backup of files. Don't forget your cloud backup!!!

I just replaced all spinners with SSD, and I agree, the speed difference is wonderful. One laptop that I just bought had 250 Gb NvME drive. I replaced it with a 1 Tb NvME drive. The NvME was just slightly higher priced than the 1Tb SSD drives I used, but is less expensive than, say, Samsung QVO 1Tb drives.
Great to have such inexpensive choices!
