 Yeah, I'm at the point now where I'll spend more than I want to be able
 to have one drive with everything on it. I hate having data on a
 secondary drive in Windows.

Really? I'm on a SATA-3 SSD now and from what I'm reading, raw speeds on
nvme look to be around 5 times faster. I was thinking that might merit
an upgrade when the time comes. I was hoping it'd be a significant
difference from a user perspective, too.
