Here is an interesting comparison that uses both games and regular apps
The difference is substantial barring a single game where probably the CPU becomes the bottleneck
For what it's worth, I maintain that using nvme over sata gives you a very high ROI esp for your OS/apps/photos.. Add the fact that even the absolute price difference is not much and a nvme becomes a no-brainer for someone putting together a mid-end or high-end rig

^ That youtube video is probably one of the most unreliable performance indicators ever.
Check this https://techreport.com/review/30993/samsung-960-evo-ssd-reviewed/5 . Boot time diff between 960 evo (NVME ) and crucial MX300 (sata) is like 1 second. Load time difference for most applications average about 0.3 seconds

^^Exactly. Also Samsung 860 evo is ~30% faster than crucial MX300(in fact this point itself raises major doubt as Crucial own MX500 is almost similar to Samsung 860 evo so why not that instead of using a slower MX300). Another point to note is that almost nobody "extract a 30GB zip file" which will obviously depend on sequential read/write speeds in which NVMe have a clear advantage. Same is the case with games where it is not mentioned what was the approx. size of map & above all no info about processor & ram used(in any system with NVMe,ram & processor are the bottleneck).
