XPS 8930, SSD Kingston Fury Renegade 2TB

Hello, I have an XPS 8930 (i7-9700 CPU 3.00GHz) with an SDD ADATA SU810NS38 SATA 256 GB plugged in the in M.2 card slot for SSD.

I would like to replace the ADATA SSD with a Kingston FURY Renegade 2TB PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD.

Will it be possible with this configuration to reach the speeds up to 7300MB/s read and 7000MB/s write (or near as mentioned by Kingstone or should I just buy a "normal" 2TB PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD with speeds around 3,500/2,800MB/s ?

In advance many thanks.

It's one of those Dell's goof-up copy and paste.  M.2 supports transfer speed PCIe 3.0 x 4.

The XPS 8930 supports gen.3 PCIe NVMe drives.  While gen.4 NVMe drives will work with reduced speed, get whichever with good value to you in term of price, capacity, and warranty.

@stefelixps According to the Setup and Specifications the M.2 slot is only PCIe NVMe 3.0 x2 (1970 MB/s). You can buy a "normal" PCIe NVMe Gen 4.0 M.2 SSD but you will not achieve around 3,500/2,800 MB/s. It is important to look at how many lanes (x2 or x4) the M.2 slot and the M.2 SSD support.

@Chino de Oro Thanks for the correction, I didn't know about the error in the specs; it did seem to me that the spec speed of x2 was lower than the speeds reported in this forum.
