Video Editing Game Changer

I use this disc for video editing, I used to have many moments waiting for files to load. All my cpu ram gpu's are top notch but my hard drive was a huge mechanical one. I ordered this in the hope that it would somehow change my workflow. IT FOUND IT! That's it, no more waiting for loads, everything loads quickly when I swipe, add effects, etc. It's insanely faster than mechanical drives and significantly faster than my SSD drives. I bought the 2TB version and while it's expensive, 4th Gen NVME is legit. For gaming I don't see a need, maybe there's a game that quickly pulls data to where it's needed. However, I haven't encountered any games struggling with my mechanical drive, let alone my SSDs. My motherboard has heat shields with thermal pads, the idle temp is around 40 degrees on this NVME. Hope that helps. Please note that screws are not included, so hopefully your motherboard will come with them.
