Welcome to the Dell Community forum [NAME] and [NAME]  PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe, up to 64 Gbps [URL] Yes, a heatshield should be used. [IMAGE] [URL] Best regards, U2
Hi, I purchased an Alienware m15 R7 AMD Ryzen 6800H 64GB RAM. It's in transit, it hasn't arrived yet.  I want to install a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB on the second NVMe PCIe slot. First question would be if this laptop supports SSD PCIe 4.0? I suppose that it does since Ryzen 6000 series supports PCIe 4.0. Second question, if it does, the Samsung 980 Pro has two versions, one with heatsink and one without heatsink. The one with heatsink runs cooler, but it's also thicker, would that fit on the laptop? Which one would be recommended to install on the m15 R7? Or else what other NVMe PCIe 4.0 would be recommended for this laptop? I was also considering the Western Digital SN850. Thanks very much. Kind regards, Carlos
