The difference was amazing; fast booting, launching of apps, opening sessions, loading plugins. Even UI windows and such was snappier.
I mesured the read/write speeds to appx. 500mb/s. I know you can get much faster, but that did A LOT for my old mac pro.
Just sayin'.
And it didn't cost much either.

That's about the speeds I'm getting with my Samsungs 850 & 860 on OWC Accelsior pcie cards. One is my system drive and the other for samples. Like you said - speed on a budget.
