Disclaimer, I'm a relative computer newbie and much of the jargon I just learned over the last few days.
I work in music production, no graphic heavy programs. I have an older i7 3930k (though still beastly) looking to upgrade the main HD to a SSD. Of the 2 options, I've read the NVMe would be much faster, my mobo can't utilize the NVMe M2 without a PCIe adaptor. As well, is quite a bit more complicated to set up as it requires various changes in the BIOS... right?
So I'm getting overwhelmed at the process to switch to the NVMe and think maybe its just safer to get a standard SATA SSD such as a Samsung 860 EVO.
Any thoughts on this? Would it even be worth while going through the NVMe upgrade with what I'd be using it for (sound engineering)? If NVMe, does anyone have a good primer on the step by step process for dummies?
Thanks
