Question SSD NVME M.2 drive compatible with Z370-Pro Gaming?

[nikthenoto]

Hi guys,
I got Z370-Pro Gaming motherboard.
I already have Samsung SSD on it.

I want to buy a new SSD (M.2/NVME) drive.

My options are:
1. SAMSUNG 1TB SSD 970 EVO Plus M.2 PCI-E NVMe
2. Kingston 1024G KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD
3. Kingston FURY Renegade 1000 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD

On my technical specs page of the motherboard it says I have PCI 3.0 speeds.
I think 2 of these are 4.0. Will the M.2 drive be still compatible?

Here's a screenshot from my MBU:

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
Nik

Pass on Kingston.
970 evo is better.
And PCIE 4.0 drives on your system would run in PCIE 3.0 mode.

Thank you.
So the SAMSUNG 1TB SSD 970 EVO Plus M.2 PCI-E NVMe will be working with my motherboard: Z370-Pro?
