[SOLVED] Tring to get faster Photoshop saves on huge files

I am building a new rig and I am looking to shorten the save times for giant (Above 10GB) Photoshop files. At the moment uncompressed PSD files are taking up to 10 mins to save.

I am looking to put in a gen 4 M.2 PCI card for 4 X M.2 drives and run them in RAID 0. The array would only be used to save these large files. I am assuming they will be faster to run on a PCIe card (16 lanes) vs an NVMe (2 or 4 lanes).

Have any of you done this? What solutions have you found to shorten long save times for giant Photoshop files?

I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that doesn't work as expected.

RAID 0 probably won't shorten the time vs just individual NVMe drives.
There are many other things that influence the save speed.

10 minutes for a 10GB PSD...there is something not right.
What is the existing hardware that takes this long?
