According to this: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-G3-15-3579-i5-8300H-GTX-1050-FHD-Laptop-Review.318308.0.html
Under the storage section it can take an M.2 2280 NVME drive, the one listed is a SATA drive, so that may not work.

I've seen stories of the intel 600p 1TB drive being listed $105. that would be much much better.

My current M.2 SSD is SATA, though?

So you'll be ok then, but seriously, for an extra 120GB, don't bother, go straight to 512GB or better.

Yeah, I was thinking of the PM961. It’s NVMe. But as you said, it can take NVMe with 1 pin vs. SATA with the 2 pins.

Also is it compatible with my laptop? Dell G3 3579

You want the Samsung 970 which is an NVME M2 drive.
