SATA SSD vs PCIE SSD?

[Golf1.6]

Has anyone been lucky enough to get their hands on the PCIE SSDs and been able to experience the real world speed improvements between the two drives on a home computer?

I know we can all geek out over benchmarks but I'd like to know if the OS can make use of the extra speed.

I'm guessing with a regular SSD, data fetch/load speeds are no longer a bottleneck and it's more to do with the OS software which has to slowly check all the hardware, load appropriate drivers, check for input/output devices etc.

I have tried a few Plextor PCIE cards. and also a M.2 drive and this was a lot faster than a Standard SSD on SATA III but I didnt get much chance to play at real life tasks like photoshop or playing games. I hope to do some more testing soon.

I'd be interested in this as well, PCI-e drives were always too expensive a few years back and I always read they were pointless as boot drives but if this has changed I may think about it. The claimed speed of them is impressive.
