[QUOTE="mazskolnieces, post: 926382, member: 88422"] To be honest with you, I didn't notice much difference between SATA and NVMe SSD. Here's the thing though... for $30 to $50 more, you can get a 2 TB NVMe SSD versus a SATA SSD. So for an additional $30 to $50 more, the NVMe is better future proofing. This system is NVMe SSD and I run VBox on it. It is fast enough that it doesn't annoy me. I can run 4 Linux VMs simultaneously. For Windows OS in VMs, things can get noticeably slower. The bottle neck is the CPU (i7 6 core), and not the SSD. But be aware that VMs don't load in 2 sec on any SSD. They all seem to load in under 30 sec for sure. But if you have 4 or more VMs open, you will experience some stuttering even with the fastest $2,000 SSD and 128 GB RAM. [/QUOTE]
