[SOLVED] Motherboard - SSD compatibility

[phunky_21]

I'm a little confused. Currently I'm looking at the Gigabyte Z590 AORUS Elite AX https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813145263?Item=N82E16813145263
and Samsung 980 PRO M.2 2280 https://www.newegg.com/samsung-1tb-980-pro/p/N82E16820147790?Item=N82E16820147790

I want to know if these are compatible. It says on the Samsung 980 that it needs PCI-Express Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3 and I think the Z590 will work for that, however I'm not entirely sure.

Yes, it is compatible. There is forward and backward compatibility for both the device and slot. Of course, you only get the highest speed when using the latest generation on both device and slot.
