But for most people, that speed difference is purely academic, and doesn't actually benefit them. Sure, if you're compiling stuff or otherwise moving around a lot of data, it matters. But for most people, it's just some numbers on a spec sheet.
If you do not perceive a difference between HDD and SATA SDD, then you won't perceive the difference between SATA and NVME SSD either, that true.
If you do the first, you will do also the second. It makes a difference even when launching Excel or Firefox.
There is a definite difference between old-fashioned spinning rust and SSD.
Between SATA SSD and PCIe? Sure, for extremely IO-heavy tasks there's a difference to be felt, but not really in everyday use.
