Hi,

Please let me confirm is my laptop compatible with Samsung SSD M.2 980 NVMe PCLe 3.0

Here is screenshots of ssd.

Not sure it is compatible

Here is the ls the list from HP for this model:

M.2 (NGFF) 2280 solid state drive

128 GB SATA-3 TLC solid state drive

180 GB SATA-3 MLC solid state drive

180 GB SATA-3 self-encrypting (Opal 2) MLC solid state drive

240 GB SATA-3 MLC solid state drive

256 GB SATA-3 TLC solid state drive

256 GB SATA-3 self-encrypting (Opal 2) MLC solid state drive

256 GB PCIe-3x4 NVMe solid state drive

512 GB SATA-3 TLC solid state drive

NGFF is not the same as NVME - M.2 connector is different

Your laptop should support a Samsung 980 PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 M.2 SSD. Intel Core i5 6th gen supports PCIe Gen3. My EliteBook 840 G3 has an 6th gen core i5, too and I installed a Western Digital  Blue SN 550 (PCIe NVMe gen3x4 M.2 SSD 2280).

Here's link to a manual for your model:

HP EliteBook 828 G3 Notebook PCHP EliteBook 820 G3 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide

Page 24 lists a "256 GB PCIe 3x4" SSD and P 39 illustrates how to remove/install an M.2 drive. It doesn't clearly say it's an M.2 2280 but it doesn't look like a 2242 or2230. So a Samsung  980 M.2 SSD 2280 should be supported. 

You list one year warranty for a Samsung 980. I thought Samsung and WD M.2 SSDs offer 5 year warranty. I chose a WD SSD because of its 5 year warranty. Maybe this particular Samsung 980 offers only one year?

Take care
