The SSD should remain at least 10% free as it's used as memory in a way(like a high performance pagefile).
Overall, I do not regret the purchase. I did buy, up front, a hub that supports multiple monitors, USBs, and a Gen 4 NVMe SSD.
My speed tests were actually al little faster than the local drive, which was great... and cheaper than the SSD upgrade premium paid at the time.
To get you an Idea, I purchased this. Look for something similar in specs that supports 40gbs if you want similar SSD speeds to local.
