The winner in these tests, and overall best performance/price ratio goes to the 480gb SX8200 from ADATA, check the price and you'll see what i mean
Thanks for that snippet of info, you're right, I looked into it, and I could get that 480GB SX8200 from ADATA for £100, and performance reviews for that drive are stellar! I really don't need it though, but I'm gonna bookmark it for the future; apparently SSD prices are set to decrease still, and I don't need it now, so I'll just buy it when I need & also therefore at a lower price.
for Robbo9999;
the nvme drives are day and night real world over SATA 3.
i made the mistake of loading AOTS and Cuphead to my SATA 3 ssd (running out of C: space) and the difference was huge. as in several minutes vs under 30 sec.

i slowly migrated to all ssd from spinners (now only in NAS) and that was a huge jump in performance. the difference between nvme and SATA doesn't seem at first to be as large a leap, but it is. granted you are going from several minutes (or more depending on rpm) to less than half of that loading up most games, but as game files have gotten larger the difference between SATA and NVME is much more pronounced.
and of course if you're used to manipulating huge files like raw, photoshop, blender, and even compression and batch conversion software the difference is time saved in large measures.
Thanks for that reply, I wonder why those real world differences you talk about aren't really seen in this Guru3d review though (well apart from the file copy test)? I've bookmarked that ADATA 480GB SX8200 that valentyn0 was talking about above, saving it for a rainy day!

Like you have, I also have no spinners in my PC, just x2 SATA3 SSD's: 480GB Sandisk Ultra II as boot drive, 525GB Crucial MX300 as game & content (some game & content on the other SSD of course though). Got them both for around the £75 mark in Black Friday sales, the Sandisk I bought back in Nov 2015, and the Crucial I bought in Nov 2016.

I've had a few sata3 ssd drives installed for couple of years then got a corsair nx500 400GB pcie nvme it was night and day compared to sata3 so much faster ….but had to take it out as msi carbon x370 didn't like nx500 (400gb)...mp510 (960gb)...970evo (500gb) ...with rx2080
still have 3xsata3 2x crucial ssd 1T and 1 Samsung 860 ssd 500GB ...sata3 was improvement over harddrive nvme is a lot faster than sata3 ssd regardless wether transferring large files or game loading times …...just wish I could get all drives working at 1 time, might be time for x570

I think i read your post wrong(this is an edited post), i assume you are talking about SATA 3 HDDs vs NVME drives? If so, then i understand your post, if it's SATA 3 SSDs vs NVME m.2 drives, then i don't understand what you're saying, real-world useages barely find any differences between SATA 3 SSDs and NVME m.2 SSDs

thanx ...just seen errors in post and corrected ...yes ssd's are better than HD but when you get use to speed of ssd then move to m.2 nvme drive there is a big difference in speed especially with some games there is no loading times and things just feel that bit smoother ...for example just cause 3
or battlefield 5
