Hi:

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates that NVMe SSD's are supported.

While the WD SN850 will work, you will get nowhere near the 7,000 MBPS read/write speeds because your notebook's M.2 slot is only PCIe Gen 3.

The fastest read/write speeds you will be able to get from the slot would be 3.500 MBPS.

If you are wanting a WD brand SSD, you may want to consider the SN570.

Thank you very much. I am not specific to a brand, can you please suggest me the best ssd i can go for my laptop?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome.

My first choice would be the Samsung 980 (not 980 Pro), followed by the WD Blue SN 570.
