Samsung 970 Evo in Dell Inspiron 15 5577

[Aby_24]

Hi all,

I've a Dell Inspiron 5577 Gaming laptop for which I'm looking to get Samsung 970 Evo 256 GB however I'm not sure whether I'll get full Read speed 3200MB/S or not?

My laptop has Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor (https://ark.intel.com/products/97456/Intel-Core-i5-7300HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3-50-GHz-). Can you please tell me whether I'll get the maximum speed out of the NVMe or not?

Speed you get depends on the exact usage, not a theoretical max the interface can run at. If you don't already have a solid state drive, then you may as well get one. You won't really be able to tell any difference when using the computer between the 970 EVO and a cheaper SSD like the 960 SATA one or another model.
