SATA SSDs might as well be spinning drives compared to NVMe. 100% the only reason you would buy SATA SSDs is because you've used (both) the NVMe slot(s) on your mobo.

i bought an NVMe along with my first ryzen 7 in 2017 and that one is /still/ faster than the SSDs they sell today because of that giant SATA bottleneck.

this is only going to get worse for SATA because as of now the future plan is a NVMe->GPU direct pipeline, and 10gbit networking is already 2x what a sata ssd can keep up with.. hell 2.5gbit might even be pushing it if your drive is pretty full.

i sound a bit like a zealot but it really is awesome. and significantly cheaper than when i first got into it.

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear - thanks! I'm looking to get as
much life out of my systems as I can, and sometimes that means spending
more up front to delay the inevitable obsolescence. I'm leaning towards
NVMe thinking that in 5 years SATA will indeed feel like spinning
drives, as you mentioned.
