Hi,
Your model supports Gen 3 M.2 NVMe SSD but Gen 4 M.2 SSD like Samsung 980 PRO will work in the first slot which is capable of Gen 3 M.2 SSDs, because Gen 4 SSDs are backward compatible with Gen 3 capable system, the SSD will run at Gen 3 speeds only and you will not benefit the full speeds of the Gen 4 drive,
You need to install Gen 3 M.2 NVMe SSD in the second slot which is for NVMe/SATA M.2 SSD.
So, I would suggest you install Samsung 980 PRO 1TB in the first slot, get a Samsung 970 Evo 1TB in the second slot and use 2.5" 1TB Seagate Barracuda in the HDD bay.
As for the memory, yes 2x16GB Kingston fury will be fine as the users have installed it in this model.

Thanks for both responses, but I will not use Crucials. From what I understand "in the quoted one" the laptops first slot NVME M.2 is GEN3 compatible… So buying a Gen 4 Samsung Pro would not provide some GEN4 potentials. I will buy 2 Evo's for both since there might be no point in buying a Samsung Pro if I will not use the full potential.

Also an another question would be. Can I use instead of Baracudas HDD an another SSD?
