Does my System Supports Intel Optane SSD or Samsung 980 Pro

[SikandarAgha]

Currently I am using HP Specter with intel Core i7-7500U & 16GB RAM. I want to upgrade my current SSD to Intel Optane or Samsung 980 Pro. 

Does these SSDs support my system or does this upgrade worth it?

What About 970 Pro?

If I go with 980 Pro than does I face system heat up issues?

Plz Guide me!!

thanks in Advance

This is the Service Manual:

Service Manual 

The laptop has a single M.2 slot that accepts and NVME 2280 form factor M.2 SSD. Optane requires a second storage disk. Optane "accelerates" another SSD or hard drive so there is no point in having a standalone Optane module. As far as the Samsung 980 Pro, it would work but those are very, very expensive. You would get better return on investment with a Samsung Evo 970 Plus. There is not any noticeable difference in speed. There is no limit as far as capacity. 2 TBs are found commonly and up to 4 TB are sold through specialty channels. 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Thank You Huffer for your guidance

one thing more is 970 Pro better than 970 Evo Plus?

I have seen some videos showing 970 Pro performing better.

Yes Pro is "better" than the Consumer Evo line. My point is its not that much better and the cost is higher. You do not notice the difference in day to day use. The 980 Pro requires a Gen 4 PCIe bus to fully reach its potential and your laptop is a Gen 3 bus.

Can u plz suggest me other best option to increase my laptop's speed. When I run Adobe AutoCAD or Adobe Premiere it gets stuck or gets slow down.

Thise programs require a strong video card. If you have just the Intel 620 graphics you are going to struggle with content creation software on that laptop. All you can do is increase memory and speed up the storage but neither of those is going to entirely solve the problem. Content creation professionals use Mobile Workstation type laptops with discrete video cards.
