Latitude 7320 SSD compatibility
Howdy,
Looking into swapping out the current 256GB ssd to a 1T. Am currently looking at a Samsung 980 pro but have some concerns and questions. According to my system the current SSD is a NVMe KXG60ZNV256G NVMe KIOXIA 256GB .
- Does the 7320 fully support the 980 pro speeds? (PCIe 4)
- If so, is the heat this the 980 pro ssd generate a problem? Should one also buy the heatsink? if so does the heatsink fit?
- Any other suggestions for a good SSD?
- Will the current warranty go bad if I swap out the SSD on my own?
Thank you for your help.
Thank you @ejn63
I looked in the manual for the Service Tag and it says up to Gen4. But in the storage section it says Interface type : Gen 3 PCIe x4 NVMe .
A bit confusing ...

No, this system does not support PCIe 4 speeds.
Yes, heat could be an issue as the faster drives run quite a bit hotter.
You're probably better off with a standard PCIe 3X4 drive -- they're quite a bit less expensive and the PCIe4 added cost produces no benefit.
Keep the original drive for warranty purposes (and were it necessary to return the system for repair, DO NOT send the system with the upgraded drive in it).
Otherwise, the warranty will be unaffected.
