[[But Walton found storage read/write performance to be an issue,]]
So folks who do a lot of backups, or things like photography who need to store lots of photos and retrieve a lot too, are going to suffer performance loss
I just bought an M2 PCI-e NVMe Samsung 960 EVO specifically for it’s speed. It is super fast but I returned the laptop that it was in and need another laptop that will accept this type of drive. I would have kept the laptop but there were too many problems or things I didn’t care for. The power plug was too small and got bent in less than a month, and the cord was way too short. The home and end keys I use a lot especially on forums, and with this Acer Swift 3 (Intel 8th gen. i5-8250) you need to press the Fn key along with the home or end key which is a huge hassle. Now I bought it for $599 from Costco and finding a similarly priced laptop that will accept this Samsung 960 is an impossibility.
