Is something like this good for a second drive in my rig or should I really get a second NvMe drive as well.... I feel like that is overkill unless I guess I am running the 2nd drive as a scratch drive for some high end Photoshop wort or something?

I'm a bad influence lol. I'd get this as a spare storage drive and still get a NVMe. Maybe a 2TB or a 4TB NVMe. I have 2 NVMe's, 3 SSDs and 2 HDDs. I plan on swapping my 512GB and 1TB with multiple 2TBs or 4TBs

What do you use the extra drives for?

For just "storage" would you really feel that much difference between an SSD and nvme?

I would still have a 1TB SSD and a few SATA from my old rig, but I dont think I wanna transfer any of them over, start brand new everything and use that for like a cloud server or HTPC etc....

Definitely storage. I make music and video edit sometimes so I keep a ton of plugins and software around. Backups of older setups too. Only difference between a 2.5 and NVMe would be sustained transfer speeds for big files.

Do you run in raid? Seems like an organization nightmare having so many tiny drives

No raid atm but I do have a NAS server also. I plan on doing some heavy organization when I get my new drives

Currently you'll notice no difference in game loading times between this and even the fastest NVME drives. That will change when more games start to be released with Direct Storage. There's currently only one game with full Direct Storage implementation (Diablo). That will change over the coming months/year. I'd get an NVME to future-proof. Or maybe get both and use this SATA for current/older games that don't support Direct Storage.

Thanks... Ya I'll probably just stick with my one 4TB nvme and then buy the next slickdeal, either nvme or SSD, probably wont make a different in my life right now, and then buy the next nvme on another slickdeal... no reason to get it all right away since that install takes likes 3 minutes total.
