[SOLVED] Should I return my nvme for a faster one?

[techscrub20]

this is my Sabrent Rocket Q 500GB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD High Performance Solid State Drive R/W 2000/1000MB/s (SB-RKTQ-500) , i currently have my OS on it, didn't know it would limit my transfer speeds to my other drive which has faster speeds than this.. anyways would amazon accept a used drive, if i wanted to upgrade to a 1tb version of this. also this is mainly used for gaming, not sure if r/w speeds matter so much.

Gaming, you won't see a massive difference, between it and a faster drive. If you are within Amazon's return window, you can turn that drive in, for a refund, and then buy something else.

For gaming there is little difference between a good SATA drive and a NVMe pcie 4.0 drive. The difference between 2 NVMe drives you will never notice.

Yea, game loading times don't differ much.

No.

Leave it as is.

The difference between various flavors of SSD is minimal, going to none at all.
Even if talking about SATA III SSD.

Can YOU tell the difference?
Not likely.
Here is an amusing test:
