Samsung Evo 970 in Dell Inspiron 5577
Hi all,
1) I've a Dell Inspiron 5577 Gaming laptop for which I'm looking to get Samsung 970 Evo 256 GB however I'm not sure whether I'll get full Read speed 3200MB/S or not?
My laptop has Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor (https://ark.intel.com/products/97456/Intel-Core-i5-7300HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3-50-GHz-). Can you please tell me whether I'll get the maximum speed out of the NVMe or not?
2) There is a inbuilt 1 TB HDD and I want to add 256 GB NVMe but the specification says that max we can add is 128 GB, is this for real?
Thank you
JOcean

As per the above post, it would limit it to 1.8GB/s which is so weird.
This processor has:
Max # of PCI Express Lanes: 16
PCI Express Configurations: Up to 1x16, 2x8, 1x8+2x4
Is there any concrete post by Dell?
The XPS 9560 user's processor is i7-7700HQ where he achieved 2.8GB/s (https://www.dell.com/community/Inspiron/Nvme-ssd-compatibility/td-p/6133445/page/2). Meanwhile comparing PCI it is the same as of i5-7300HQ (https://ark.intel.com/compare/97185,97456)
