I am looking in Samsung 970 PRO M.2 SSD to upgrade my laptop. It is PCIe and NVMe and uses four PCIe 3.0 lanes. I am not sure if my laptop provides four PCIe 3.0 lanes to fit the SSD. Other option is WD Black NVMe.

Any ideas?

Here is the Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

You have an 8th gen i5 processor and your laptop is compatible with NVME M.2 SSDs. In every case we have seen, this means you have 4 PCIe lanes and you can get full performance out of a Samsung 970 Evo. However, this is not expressly stated in the Service Manual. 

 

Start on p. 33 for "how to". The M.2 slot is right above and parallel to the top edge of the battery. You may need a mounting screw as they are not always supplied when the laptop does not come with a M.2. 

 

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