Q: QuestionCan I put a SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq. Read Speeds Up to 7,450 MB/s for on STRIX on GL703GE?

Asked 6 months ago by Jay.

• A:Answer Jay: The ASUS ROG Strix GL703GE laptop supports M.2 NVMe SSDs. The Samsung 990 PRO SSD 4TB is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive, however, the GL703GE is designed with PCIe 3.0 slots. While you can physically install the Samsung 990 PRO in your laptop, it will operate at PCIe 3.0 speeds, which are lower than the drive's maximum capabilities. This means you won't fully utilize the drive's potential speed, but it will still provide a significant performance boost. - Samsung Memory
