HP Spectre x360 - 15-ch010tx

Can a Samsung 980 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB be used in a hp Spectre x360 15 intel i7 8th gen device

Hi:

 

It can, but since your notebook's M.2 slot is only PCIe Gen 3, you will get nowhere near the 7,000/5,000 MBPS advertised read/write speeds.

So should I use 

Samsung 980 1TB NVMe PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSD as the best upgrade?

HP Recommended

Yes, if you don't want to spend the extra money on the 980 Pro for nothing.

 

The only reason I would buy the 980 Pro in your situation would be if I was planning to move it to a newer desktop or notebook PC that has a PCIe Gen 4 NVMe slot in the very near future.
