       Does anyone here use an #nvme #ssd ? If yes, then is it much better than a #sata one? And what is the best use case for it? Does #linux benefit from the speed?

       @Madiwka3 better? I would say so. Does Linux benefit much from it? Not noticeably, at least from my experience

       @Madiwka3Data connector has transfer speed limit of 6gbps, which is slower than maximum speed of some ssd, but nvme connector speed is much more higher so you can use full speed of your ssd. However, since Linux kernel use lazy loading, it doesn't make a lot differences under normal use case.
