I just upgraded my workstation from a SATA SSD (~500MB/s) to an M.2 NVMe (~3GB/s). For standard usage, there's really no noticeable difference. The extra IO and lower latency is amazing though for heavy tasks.

Not even heavy tasks. Even just installing packages and launching applications is just so much quicker after I upgraded my thinkpad to an NVME drive.
