Hi:

Your notebook's NVMe slot is only PCIe Gen 3, so a PCIe Gen 4 SSD is only going to run at the Gen 3 speed, and not reach its advertised maximum sequential read/write speeds.

So, if you plan on transferring the SSD to a newer PC a few years from now, you may want to invest in a Gen 4 SSD, such as the 980 Pro,

If not, then go with the regular Samsung 980 PCIe Gen 3.
