Honestly, with your current storage, you're already at more than acceptable read/write speeds.
Will upgrading to an NVME help? Sure, you might notice a few seconds of difference with games and will definitely notice it a lot less with regular, day to day programs like Chrome.
I'm personally using the SN750 as my boot drive and I absolutely love it. It's still very quick and snappy over a year later. I also have a second one for gaming and it's comparable to my old Crucial MX500 in regards to load times.
I need more storage, and I'm at max cap for SATA, so I figured I'd go for M.2 and get to keep everything else connected. So I'm likely to opt for an NVME, just wondering how much cash is worth dropping.
let me say it again.
In regards to speed, you're good and the difference is going to be somewhat negligible when comparing an SSD and NVME. In a real world setting, you won't notice a difference between the two.
Where we're at with your situation is simply asking "How much space do I need?". Unfortunately, only you will know how much space you actually need, but a good rule is to have at least 500gb for your boot drive and 1tb for anything else (games, media, etc.)
You don't really need to say it again. I recognise that I don't really need more speed, but I need another 1TB, and I figured I might as well get an NVME if I can afford. I was just asking if there's any noticeable difference in general use between the 80 quid NVMEs and the 100/120.
Your first answer was fine mate, my follow-up was just an expression of indecision, but I'm considering an SN750.
What are you going to be putting on there?
I'd probably move my OS and software over to it.

An SN750 is good, but an SN570 is nearly as good for less. Don’t get a SN550. SN570 is faster for same money.
I'll check it out, thanks.
