Hi:

Your PC's M.2 slot is Gen 3.   A PCIe M.2 NVMe Gen 4 SSD will work but only at the 3.0 speed.

See the PCIe specs for your notebook's chipset at the link below...

Intel® Core™ i5-9300H Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.10 GHz)

Firstly Thank you for giving the resolution. Can you suggest me Best SSD for my laptop in this specification.

You're very welcome.

I recommend this popular and reasonably priced model...the Samsung 980.

I don't know what storage capacity you are looking for, but here is the 500 GB model...

I also see it as a 'renewed' model...much cheaper.

I don't know how refurbished products warranties work.  The I see the seller gives a 6 months warranty but Samsung gives a 5 year warranty, so I don't know why the 5 year warranty would not be in effect.

I don't think that model has even been around for 5 years yet.

I don't know why that drive costs almost double in India than it does in the USA.

Thank you for your Answer.. And I really appreciate.

Is it same or Different? If 980 and 970 Evo same then I go for latest one.

One more Question sir 970 Evo compatible with my Hardware or not?

You're very welcome.

The Samsung 970 is also an excellent choice.

It has slightly faster max sequential write speeds, and will work fine.

The only minor drawback is that it usually is a little more expensive than the 980 and may run a bit hotter.

What I recommend you do is to read the reviews on both of the drives and pick the one you think will be best for your needs.
