Replacing mSATA SSD in Inspiron 15R 7520
Hi,
- I have the 7520 with a 1TB SATA and 32GB mSATA
- I want to replace the mSATA with a bigger capacity. Please can you confirm that _any_ sized mSATA will work? I have read conflicting things.
Thanks.

I put a Crucial M500 240GB mSATA Internal SSD in mine, works a treat.
It took a good few hours completely dismantling the laptop to get this done. It is the least accessible part in the entire machine. After cloning the HDD to the mSATA it works very well. This also tooka while, can't remember the exact process, but found step by step guide via google. I now have the 1TB drive for data, and the ssd for system and apps.

yep, this one:
Part Number: CT240M500SSD3
Description: Crucial M500 240GB mSATA Internal SSD
But i'd probably use this one now (faster write speed): CT256M550SSD3
