Yes the lower pcie vs sata latency helps a lot with 1Q1T 4k type loads and I think you can feel that speed improvment pretty easy.

Yes, but sometimes you really won't be able to tell. There's a lot of things that makes a computer faster or slower, and I've sat and used things that seemed a lot faster than their specs, and also vice versa. Just try those cheap computers at best buy versus the mid range ones--many with the same specs, but more slower/faster.

I honestly want a 4TB with half the speed... then i could have all my NVME's populated with 4TB's and ditch the SATA interface all together.

Has anyone seen these new PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives benchmarked on cheap x570 boards yet? I'm curious how they'll hold up.

Posting for updates

I’m curious if the extra speed makes a difference in typical use.
I’m positive it’s better in benchmarks and oddball stuff like video editing or encoding.
I’m talking nuts & bolts day to day stuff with some games in the mix is the difference perceivable.

That would be good to know, too. I'm just curious about all the noise that was made about 6-layer boards being specced by PCI-SIG for PCIe 4.0 . Not all of the mobo OEMs followed that alleged spec, yet all the x570 boards feature PCIe 4.0 .
