M.2 NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive

Looking at performance Benchmark charts, not all NVMe M.2 SSDs are created equal nor are all SATA SSDs created equal, with equal performance. I was hoping if comparing top-tier Samsung SSDs NVMe M.2 to SATA SSDs we would see a difference in load times within simulation as I described when flying low and fast or slewing from point to point over a large area. Samsung's 960 PRO and EVO have much higher IPOS and much lower latency then there 850 PRO and EVO SSDs.

 

Jim, you said....

"I'm hoping that technology or drivers will increase the value of owning an M.2 in the future."

Would that mean a software / firmware update to the drivers may unleash the full potential of an NVMe M.2 storage module installed now on a current motherboard in the future.

I'd be curious to see what the diff is for initially loading both P3D and a given flight in complex scenery.  Sure takes awhile on my current SSD, but perhaps the CPU is playing a role here too.  If it would reduce the load time of these two events by 50-70% it would be well worth it to me.
