Hey Guys. I have an ASUS ROG G751JY-DB72 gaming laptop that's about 2.5 years. My OS is on an M.2 Samsung MZHPU256HCGL-00005 M-key 2.0x4 PCIE Express SSD. I am wanting to upgrade to a 500GB SSD. I have consulted with a local Computer Upgrade/Repair professional on what M.2 SSD to buy. He is recommending a Samsung 970 EVO M.2 which is a V-NAND MVME 3.0 X 4 PCIE Express SSD.
I am just wanting to know if this 970 EVO is compatible with my motherboard and system before I drop $200+ on the SSD and another $150 to install it.
My OEM I don't believe is an NVME or V-NAND SSD. It also is a 2.0 X 4, The 970 EVO is a 3.0 X 4. My Tech assures my their backward compatible? Both have a 22mm X 80MM physical size with an M-Key.
If the 970 Evo is not compatible with my motherboard/system could someone recommend the best 500GB M.2 SSD I can upgrade to? Thank you for your help!
