SSD upgrade for Dell G3 3590

I’m looking to upgrade my SSD, I need more space and I use the laptop for gaming so I wanted something as fast as possible.

Current SSD: lexar 256GB NM100 M.2 2280 SATA 6Gb/s(This only m.2port)

Proposed: Samsung 980 Pro 2tb nvme

I don't know if the new one is compatible with my laptop or not , but I’m not an expert and just was hoping someone could chime in as let me know if this looks good.

Thanks

Yes, Samsung NVMe SSD is supported by your G3 3590.  Don't worry too much about the up to 1TB limit.  That was the capacity Dell tested and validated SSD to be sold with the system.  See the storage specifications below.

The options may vary, but the core system is the same.  The drive will work (though not at full speed due to the lack of PCIe 4 support).

Your system supports both type of M.2 SSD.  Hence the confirmation that your proposed upgrade to Samsung 980 NVMe SSD will work.

@Chino de Oro​ Are there two versions of this laptop with the same name, or is there only one version in 2020?

My laptop version doesn't support fingerprint

As of now, only one G3 3590.  You can see the storage specifications, your system can support PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4 drives, up to 32 Gbps.
