For example, if the data requires a lot of decompression or decoding, and if the CPU can only decompress data at 400 MB/s, then your bottleneck is the CPU, not the storage speed.
In reality, there aren't that many situations where you will actually notice a difference between NVMe and SATA, due to just how few things are actually bottlenecked by storage I/O.

Yes there is a difference, but these drives are pretty affordable and the newest games aren't taking full advantage of the fastest SSDs yet.

This is useful as an inexpensive second drive that still is still plenty fast enough for me for the games that I play.

Picked this up as an internal backup drive, don't need remotely good performance, just don't want a mechanical drive. I've got about 500GB of photos of my kids (a constantly growing number). Everything is on an internal SSD on my desktop and backed up to google photos (we have a 2TB account). I'm going to put this in my desktop and mirror my photos onto it, I feel more comfortable with a cheap SSD than pretty much any HDD, and I only have 2.5" bays in my Node 202 case.
