NVMe SSD vs. SATA SSD for games

[Sandi1987]

Any big difference for games and emulators (loading time etc.)? I have 2 x NVMe and 2 x SATA SSD.

Your CPU and mobo are new enough to support NVME at full speed?

NVMe is faster - although theoretically this depends on your setup. However, for emulators, I doubt you'll notice a difference.

For modern games, you should notice some improvements though - so it may be worth using one of your NVMe's as a gaming storage drive. I have one of mine set up this way in Steam/EA.

I think that NVME drives require a Mobo with PCI 4 and , if Intel a 10 or 11 gen cpu.
