It would be good only if both the sender and receiver have that huge bandwidth available. If you are transferring over a network, you would need a 10 Gigabit NIC on both devices. If its over to local external drives, you would need it to be USB 3.1 (not the standard 3.0) or thunderbolt 3 enabled.
Okay which SSD are we talking about here? There would be no use of that speed if your processor isn't fast enough.
Suppose he has used sata ssd on a 3 year old low end dual core laptop for editing images. He might think the ssd is unable to perform while clearly the CPU is causing bottleneck.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I do have relatives in the US but will need to wait for a few months in that case. Unfortunately the Ultrabook-class laptops don't work for me because of the limited expansion options and upgrades if supported at all are very expensive. I think gaming laptops are best suited for my requirements but I will have to compromise on battery life. The Asus GL503VD purportedly has a good quality display and its within my budget. But manufacturers often tend to ship models with inferior/different panels in India. And there don't seem to be any website which does detailed review of the display.
Dell XPS 13 9360 does have TB 3.0(2-lane) and is priced at ~89k. And an NVMe PCIe SSD if I am not mistaken. This would have been my first choice if it weren't for the fact that the RAM is soldered and the 16GB SKU is exorbitantly priced. That and the reported QC issues.
My post wasn't in reply to your post.
Give exact info about the existing config. We could try to point out the culprits for this supposed "lag".
Again, unless you have applications which needs bandwidth in mutiple gbps, nvme won't be better than pcie or sata ssd.
