Is an SSD worth it?

That does not sound right at all. I have the same specs i7-7700 / 32GB ram with external usb connect SSD it takes about 45mins to compile the engine from source. Do you have the OS, visual studio and engine source on the same drive? try separating them.

No, I have OS on HDD (and I am not moving it to SSD) and MSVC on HDD… Source is on SSD.

Btw, I am compiling source from Oculus fork and now I have suspicion they do something evil to the source code. I am gonna have to build official source from Epic to see the difference.
