NVMe worths the upgrade from SSD?

I have a good SSD disk. Is the new NVMe disk's worht? or the big jump was from HDD to SSD and this is a little change?

The thing is... it's not as easy as yes or no. It boils down to what your usage is. 

If you really want a short answer : if you have a typical use of your computer, then No.

But for some particular scenarios, NVMe is not only better but necessary.

If it just for starting programs and games, you basic daily pc use, then now. If it's for work, video editing, working with large files and database the definitely yes. SATA and AHCI are very old standards and have big latency with limited throughput. Nvme goes through pcie and has direct cpu access, latency is lower and everything is more responsive.

Office, Multimedia and Games - SSD is enough

Serious work - NVMe is necessary

@pulsearty Boot times will be a bit faster, maybe a couple of seconds. OS will be faster if you have limited memory because of pagefile on a faster disk. Browser might feel snappier, pages might load faster if already cached. Game load times will be noticeably faster. But ONLY if you're using a fast NVME drive. Check here and compare with what you already have: https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/

Nah in games you get like 2-3 seconds faster loading, depending on the game, most noticeable difference are applications like Photoshop when doing batch and video editing.

For casual use I think you could save few bucks and go for sata ssd.

I'd go with, yes!
