Question about dell xps 15 storage upgrade

Hi, I recently ordered a xps 15 9550 1080p with 256gb SSD and 8 ram. Still haven't received it yet but 256gb isn't enough for my use. I'm planning to add extra Hard disk to store my games and files on it (doesn't matter whether it's HDD or SSD) but I have a ZERO experience and knowledge about upgrading it.

Is it possible for my configuration to add an extra HD? And if it is possible: Do I just open the back of the laptop and put the hard drive and it will work or do I have to do other things?

And do you suggest any specific hard drive? 500gb will be enough or I could wait until the Black Friday and get a 1 TB ssd.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thank you for writing to us!

Since the system is already ordered we wouldn't be able to change it,however you can purchase 

The hard drive options available on Dell XPS 15 9550 are:

  • NGFF — Up to 1 TB with Intel Smart Response Technology
  • mSATA SSD (optional) — 256 GB with Intel Smart Smart Cache Support 

Thanks 

Robin

The bay is there, yes.  The mounting hardware and cable is not - you will need to order those separately from Dell if you want to install a 2.5" drive in the system.
