Should I go NVMe?

[DarkTerbear]

I am a software developer, and I work with some small to medium projects. I am building myself a new roof for this purpose. I have heard that unless I am working with HUGE amounts of code, I don't need the 5820k. However, they support super fast NVMe M.2 drives. Will I notice a difference in boot times and load times? Will an NVMe drive be justified?

X99 isn't the only platform with NVMe support. Z170 also offers that if you want to go with Skylake. NVMe is great at high I/O applications, but as a software developer, do you think compile time is related more to how quickly the source code can be read into the compiler or how quickly the compiler can compile? I would expect NVMe offers you essentially zero real-world gain over a SATA-III SSD, unless your compile times are significantly over 1 hour.

Nvme drive as very fast but are unlikely to perform good enough to justify such a high cost. I would stick with a good nand ssd like 850 EVO.
