The performance numbers a good SATA3 SSD offers these days are simply excellent, but with the more niche NVMe SSDs you can triple maybe even quadruple performance, which offers serious numbers.
triple or quadruple in numbers only. a gamer or regular pc user would hardly even tell a difference between SATA and PCI express based SSDs. If they had parrity in prices, yes, sure, by all means go for the fastest numbers!
NVMes have gotten cheaper (at least some brands), but still can't find myself paying 20-30$ more for half capacity of a SATA SSD and 1% real life performance gains.
Oh wow, that's a miss on my side. I genuinely had a Q1 2020 in mind. We have been contacted for a review like 2 months ago and never realized it has been around ever since 2019.
Thank you for the review!
The HP EX950 is +- the same as the Adata XPG SX8200 Pro and
Adata XPG Gammix S11 Pro, they are excellent drives especially for
a second drive(DATA drive) mainly for reading.
For a BOOT drive where information is constantly read/written, the
Samsung 970 Pro/Evo are the kings, my second option are those
based on the Phison PS5012-E12 controller like the Corsair MP510.

I have Adata sx8200pro and they are excellent ssd's like HP ex950 🙂
This is 2x sx8200pro in raid-0: Almost unbeatable performance VS price. Especially against the overpriced pci-e 4.0 ssd's that are available.
