Hi Dan,

You can check with the below article for more information.

"As Sony explained on stage several months ago, the external drives will have to match the 5.5GB/s speed of the internal storage, which means you’ll need PCIe 4.0 drives that aren’t widely available yet."

The Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SSD is not a PCIe 4.0 drive, but the new 980 series should be compatible. Hope this helps. 

Best,

Unknown as of early October 2020. Taking two minutes to search this tells me that Sony have announced that they'll be posting a list of compatible SSDs closer to release. Speculation suggests that there's a minimum read/write speed necessary. Best option is to wait and see whether it's on the list.
