I replaced the HDDs on a couple of older machines with SATA SSDs. The most 
noticeable improvement was on reboot since I don't do any disk intensive 
stuff. Starting individual programs wasn't appreciably faster. SSDs 
allowed SATA to achieve its maximum performance, something I don't think 
even the best HDDs could.

It's still slower than NVMe but not a show stopper.
