Which is why I replaced the cheap drive in my build desktop with a Samsung Pro NVME. It made a significant difference.

Multithreaded builds (make -j 24) can really hammer the drive. Read and write interleaved, which uses up cache in both directions.

I've used their Pro NVME drives as my OS drive for the last few years. Never had any issues with read write speeds either
