I just bought a 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD for $110.00 off Amazon. It's about 1Gbit/sec slower than the next price point but it's about 2 or 3 times as fast as my existing SATA SSD.

The next-highest price point was a 3Gbit/sec 1TB SSD for about $150.00.

It’s 3GigaBYTES/s, not Gigabits/s.

Nvme drives really are massively faster than their SATA counterparts.

Oh shit. Well then that's cool.
Those have gigabytes per second not bits. SATA 3 has 6gbit/s.
