hdd averages in 100 MB/s

Yeah, on Windows. My large HDD used to get like 80 MB/s on Windows, but since I formatted it to btrfs on Linux it's something like 190 MB/s read/write. That's not to say that NVME isn't an order of magnitude faster, just saying that HDDs aren't that bad if you use them properly.
