4TB ssd is possible.
HOWEVER
F6 mass storage drivers are required to "see" the drive.

@Marz77
Yes 4TB SSD's have been available for sometime now.
If you want to spend $600 - $1000+
This one is $200 less than the one on Amazon.

Shop around before you purchase.

@speedstep Thanks heaps, I just want a 1TB ssd to speed up the laptop.
If you look at the specification for the "Storage" it says:
Inspiron 15 3000 Setup and Specifications:
https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/04/inspiron-15-3576-laptop/inspiron15-3576_ss/storage?guid=guid-e97a8b60-141e-481a-ab69-96ab7b65b544&lang=en-us
That is what Dell sold and test for your model.
That is what they can only recommend.

@U2CAMEB4ME what I’m confused about is that a tech @ Dell told me I could only replace it with a 256gb ssd, I didn’t think it would be an issue putting the same size drive in.
Prices for 7mm drives are very reasonable now.
I still tend to recommend the SAMSUNG versions however.
OCZ’s SSD DRIVES ARE never recommended. Toshiba purchased them when they went bankrupt. So I would be leary of getting anything from them.

Replacing the drive is not trivial and you must be CAREFUL with the flex cables and connectors.
Drive is mounted in a tray 7MM
Your very welcome @Marz77
@speedstep @U2CAMEB4ME Thank you both very much
