Do NVMe SSD drives offer real world advantages over SATA3 SSD drives?
Yes - sata3 is limted to 6GB/S NVMe is 16GB/s and higher IIRC
if your doing a lot of reading from the disk then .... loads better
possibly .. not sure on current speeds
Those numbers aren't correct, though close on the SATA.
SATA 3 is capable of 6Gbps (Gigabits per second, not Gigabytes per second.)
NVMe is generally a 4x connection, with a single PCI-E 3.0 lane being capable of around 985MB/s, so roughly 3.95GB/s theoretical maximum.
However, it's not really the maximum bandwidth that shows the biggest improvement over the SATA interface; the improvements are much more extreme when looking at how data can be accessed. SATA wasn't designed with queueing in mind, whereas NVMe was. SATA can handle a single queue, just one, whereas NVMe is capable of 65535. That is where the difference is, usually.
WHY HAVE YOU not listed the benchmarks for the Samsung NVMe drives on the same graphs as these new competitors??????????????????
SO ANNOYING!!
