Should I put my samples on a separate physical drive? (lemmy.world)

My OS and software are on a 2280 nvme 1TB drive. I'm thinking of installing a 2nd m.2 2242 drive in the wwan slot (it does work on my laptop) and putting my drum samples on that.

My question is, would this increase performance?

It would improve performane, but not noticably. nvme is already really fast and as long as you don't have heavy disk I/O from another program, your OS and DAW will only occupy a minimal amount of the avainle disk I/O. And drum samples are really small in size.
