They used a Samsung Pro NVMe which should be able to hold almost all of the linux kernel sources in it's read cache without that many issues.

NVMes are magic. Just the same improvement that SSDs have over HDDs. Probably the only upgrade worth getting for my home PC at this point.

Technically, 100%. I'm full SSD right now though which has a seriously noticeable difference from from HDD but for what I do most days NVME isn't justifiable. I see others who can take advantage of the speeds and do so with huge returns.

I do have 2 super SFF HP boxes that only take NVME in the M.2 drive so have one on hand but it isn't installed at the moment.
