Should I put my samples on a separate physical drive? (self.musicproduction)

My OS and software are on a 2280 nvme 1TB drive. I'm thinking of installing a 2nd m.2 2242 drive in the wwan slot (it does work on my laptop) and putting my drum samples on that.

My question is, would this increase performance?

These are good points. In truth I'm not experiencing any lag so it's practically superfluous in terms of speed. But to have my samples and other files in a removable drive will serve as a backup and something I can swap between machines if I ever upgrade hardware or change OS.
