XPS 8920, Samsung support said it cannot support a NVME M.2?
I tried for 3 days to get my M.2 NVME Samsung 970 card to work and it never showed up in the BIOS. I had the card plugged in at 30* with no screw temporarily but some say you need to have it screw down and some say not. Anyway, I have a 2.5" sata Samsung 860 SSD coming and gave up on the NVME. Here is the report from Samsung;
After reviewing the specs of the Dell XPS 8920 desktop unfortunately it do not support NVMe. It has two M.2 slots on the motherboard that support SATA type, and also as well WiFi and Bluetooth combo card. 970 EVO will not be compatible with that type of computer, maybe should look into getting the SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series M.2 2280 500GB SATA III.

So do you think the Samsung rep was right?

He was incorrect in saying, "unfortunately it do not support NVMe". Because we showed 24 NVME M.2 SSD taken from the XPS 8920 parts page.
