SSD M.2 vs HDD: Running npm install on a typically large NodeJS project
Raw
README.md

HDD

~ 1 minute 26 sec

SSD

~ 20 sec

The node_modules in this project consisted of ~16k files and ~70MB

Typical copying speeds on the drives, entirely unrelated to this test and usually in copying relatively larger files (5MB-1GB), for HDD was ~60MBPS, and for SSD M.2 ~500MBPS

@CassianoSF One of these 2 https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-PM961-NVMe-PCIe-M2-128GB-vs-Samsung-960-Evo-NVMe-PCIe-M2-1TB/m194898vsm211052 (don't remember if it was before or after I upgraded to the other)

You can compare your gen4 with mine on that same site.
