Yes. I just bought a 1TB 860 EVO. It will go in place of a 250GB 840 EVO, which will find another purpose elsewhere.Not sarcasm at all, but do people really buy Samsung EVO Sata drives? They cost as much as a decent nvme. And all boards in the last few years usually have at least 2 nvme slots. I havent used a sata drive in years.

Theres a huge difference in speed between a good NVMe drive and a SATA drive like the 860 Evo.Yes. I just bought a 1TB 860 EVO. It will go in place of a 250GB 840 EVO, which will find another purpose elsewhere.
Price parity SATA -> NVMe is only very very recent. And even then, not between comparable devices.
And given only one or two M.2 ports, adding more storage means...SATA.
And, there really isn't a LOT of difference in user facing performance. Yes, benchmark difference is huge. But actual screen time isn't.
Lastly, not everyone ups their hardware all the time. My current system (specs below) works for my purposes, and a good NVMe would be wasted in it. Late this year a new system may be in the offing, but not a critical change.
In what use case?Theres a huge difference in speed between a good NVMe drive and a SATA drive like the 860 Evo.
You can easily notice it. And no, I am not talking about file copy speeds.

Can't imagine anyone intentionally using SATA as a primary OS/application drive in lieu of NVME M.2 for new systems....
I agree, the prices should be noticeably less than NVME, however...)

Can't imagine anyone intentionally using SATA as a primary OS/application drive in lieu of NVME M.2 for new systems....; however, there are millions of desktops and laptops probably still using 2.5" or 3.5" spinning SATA drives that would be prime candidates for an 860/870 EVO or Crucial MX500...
