What additional benefit do you think the upgrade would give you and why?

ive heard the nvme is much quicker than sata.. asking incase anyone has experienced this

m.2 is (just) the form factor. nVME is a bus interface, like SATA.

m.2 SSDs come in nVME and SATA flavours. The SATA flavour is restricted to the bandwidth of SATA III (6Gbp/s). nVME plugs directly into the PCIe bus and is not so restricted. In real World use I have seen nVME perform around 2x the speed of SATA III.

Hope that helps

Look at the performance of NVMe SSDs. 1000Mb/s vs 500Mb/s. Definitely worth paying extra for
