Future proof is a losing game with storage devices.
By that time, PCIe 4.0 drives will be less expensive than they are now.

And a year ago, the 1TB 970 EVO was closer to 300€.

Where will the 980 Pro be in a year?

take it out of the heatsink. or return it and get one without heatsink

Gigabyte Aorus M.2 1TB

The heatsink is on top of a plastic that is conected to the fan... I think its not possible to remove...

If you cannot remove that case from around the actual M.2 drive, you cannot use that in your laptop.
