So I keep and hoard a huge amount of media files in my drive, and on SSD NVMe. Specifically, on an MSI Spatium 461 with read/write speeds up to 5000mbs. I would like faster loadtimes on viewing on the files on windows explorer. Also, I have pretty good PC so it plays no role here. 13700K, 4070, all the works.

  1. Would upgrading to faster SSD like Samsung 990 Pro with 7000mbs speed helps speed up when loading the files in explorer?
  2. Is there an alternative for windows explorer for media viewing that's alot faster, what is it called?
  3. Does Windows explorer really have speed limit that doesn't take advantage of even faster SSD speeds like the PCIE 5?
  4. Is there way to speed up viewing higher quality images that's like over 10MB of size?
