Will an NMVe M.2 drive work better than SATA M.2 drive for Kontakt's DFD?

I have my main operating system installed on a Samsung PM981 NMVe drive. I have one more M.2 SSD slot in my Intel Hades Canyon NUC, and would like a dedicated samples drive to allow Kontakt's DFD feature to save RAM.

Is there any point in getting a more expensive NMVE drive for this purpose? I've read that DFD even works fine from a HDD.

So will getting a cheap SATA M.2 drive give me the same Kontakt DFD performance as a NMVE M.2?

Even better, could I get away with an external HDD connected by USB 3.0?
