Rendering speeds better with PP (CC) installed Samsung 960Pro SSD M.2?

Anybody running the 960 EVO, 960 Pro with similar system on CC?

My current sys is i5 Skylake with 32GB DDR4, several 1TB or higher HDD's (7200 rpm)

MSI mobo has slots for NVME M.2 Turbo. Just thinking about using this.

Are there any better rendering speeds going with SSD's like the Samsung EVO?

Thx

I've started lurking here planning a new build in the fall.

A few posts suggest it depends on how the SSD(s) are used.

Bill's results suggest the benefit on the OS drive may not be as important as on media/other uses.

Chris, too funny that I found an old post where j gives you Harm's general recommendation for SSDs.

That one says:

as Harm always stated: use as many ssd's as possible

which to me means 4:

1 OS

2 media cache

3 footage

4 export

Is there a new rule of thumb for SSDs?
