“Is this compatible with the new Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD? If it is compatible will you benefit from the faster speeds? Or is it capped and it is cost effective to go with the Samsung 970 Evo Plus?”

Yes. PCIe x4 M.2 SSDs are the next generation standard and are the fastest SSDs available today
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 980 Pro SSD will work but will be limited to the PCIE 3.0 speed (half speed). Laptops don't offer PCIE 4.0 quite yet and the performance uptick will benefit a small portion of users. Content creators, streamers, workloads involving opening and accessing large databases or CSV files and actions of this nature will see a benefit with PCIE 4.0 but is limited to the desktop side for now. The best you can get for a laptop (for performance and price) is a Samsung 970 Evo + 2TB. Doesn't require raiding (for the inexperienced) and offers a large drive to keep everything tidy.
