compatible mSata SSD for 13z 5325

Question

Hi, I have the Dell 13z 5323, purchased (new) on last summer (2013).currently it's with the original 500GB mech. drive. I want to upgrade it with an mSata SSD , 500GB by samsung. I checked with 'Crucial' configurator which shows that 240GB and even 480 or 512 can fit the Dell, but according to some spec. page found on google, it shows that the 13z's msata is only up to 32GB. Is it true?? I can't use the msata with an SSD larger than 32? I'd really appreciate the assitance, if possible from someone who has it with such a configuration or from an official person of Dell. Thanks for the assitance!

Hi wolf1o,

Inspiron 5323 is shipped with 32 gb of mSata and that is the maximum size that has been tested.

I did some research and found some threads informing higher capacity of mSATA connected to the respective port.

Thanks & Regards

Hi, So, is it possible to use a larger msata ssd ? Also, is it possible to replace (by myself) the mechnical hard drive of the laptop with a standard SSD? (Or do I need a special 'slim' ssd?)
