PCIe Gen 4 ×4 means the drive talks to the motherboard over four PCIe 4.0 lanes, the same link used by today's fast M.2 drives. NVMe was designed specifically for flash memory, so compared with the old SATA interface, boot times, application launches and large file copies all get noticeably shorter. The drive mounts directly on the motherboard, with no power or data cables to route.
Anyone whose computer still runs an old hard drive or a small SSD that is always full; gamers whose library no longer fits on the system drive; and PC builders looking for a one-terabyte main drive for a new PCIe 4.0 platform. 1 TB holds the operating system, work applications and a sizeable collection of photos and videos.

Yes, if the laptop has an M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe PCIe drives. Check the computer's manual to see which drive type the slot accepts and whether an 80 mm long drive fits.
No. The LNQ780 is an NVMe PCIe drive and needs an M.2 slot wired for PCIe. It will not work in a slot meant only for SATA drives.
The manufacturer does not specify read and write speeds for this model. What is known is that it uses a PCIe 4.0 ×4 interface, which has several times the bandwidth of SATA. In an older PCIe 3.0 slot the drive runs at that slot's speed.
