Hp elitebook x360 1030 G2

Can I use a P5 Plus 1TB PCIe 4.0 3D NAND NVMe M.2 on this elitebook x360? Gen 4 ones?

Hi,

You can use a Gen 4 M2 PCIe NVMe SSD. However since the slot on your machine is Gen 3 it will not use the extra speed. So, it is noty worth paying the extra cost for a Gen 4 M2 SSD.

The Samsung 980 (gen 3) would be a good choice.

Is the Samsung 980 the highest read/write speed the elitebook can handle? Or something faster for it? Gen 3 slot. Reason I say this because I do alot of flashing bootloaders on Android devices, etc. The original 256gb ssd is terrible slow,plus dual booting W10 and Linux so it's pretty taxed already.

Yes the Samsung 970 Evo Plus or 980 are considered the best on the market. I believe you have an older version of the Samsung in the machine at the moment.

Hope it helps,
