Makes no difference what you have. You get long load screens and same low fps regardless. My wife's pc has nvme and mine sata ssd. When we queue for dungeons or swap zones, load characters etc. its totally random. Sometimes I'm already in dungeon way before her and sometimes she's first. And when she had her old pc, eso was on hdd and still loaded faster half the time. So it's more about their shi$$y servers than anything else.
Those are theoretical maximums of the interface, not the actual speeds, which vary widely depending on use case. In any case yes, you can get much higher speeds on a SATA SSD than on a SATA HDD, and higher still on an m.2. By the way, m.2 is a form factor, not an interface. m.2 drives work over PCIe, so you also need to make sure you have enough PCIe lanes to get the full benefit as some chipsets don't have enough to run the GPU and additional PCIe devices at full speed.Traditional 7200 RPM HDD: 160 MB/s
