I have an ADATA Legend 700 Gold m2 NVMe 1.3 SSD in my setup, but I often hit max disk usage during my work, especially when juggling heavy 2D/3D rendering and database tasks. The system handles individual projects well, but transferring assets between projects causes significant slowdowns. My CPU is hovering around 20% usage, memory at 40%, but the disk sits at 80-99%. Should I consider upgrading to a PCIe NVMe SSD, or would a RAID10 setup be more beneficial? My rig includes an i9-13900KF, 128GB DDR5 6000 RAM, and an RTX 4070Ti.

You might want to invest in a 4 or 8TB NVMe SSD to handle your workload, and consider setting up a NAS for larger storage needs later. Personally, I’ve had great experiences with the WD_Black SN850X 4TB SSD.
Thanks for the suggestion! I was thinking about getting an 8TB SSD instead of a NAS, especially since we already pay for Google Workspace which gives us unlimited cloud storage.
