I AM HAVING DELL XPS 13 9343 WITH 128GB SSD (M.2 SATA) .I HAVE DECIDED TO UPGRADE MY STORAGE TO 1TB SSD (860 EVO M.2 SATA). WILL THIS LAPTOP SUPPORT 1TB . IF ANYONE KNOWS TELL ME .....
You really don't need to type in all caps, fyi. But your issue isn't going to be the 1TB capacity. There isn't a problem there. The problem is that the 960 Evo is an M.2 NVMe SSD, not an M.2 SATA SSD as you wrote, and the XPS 13 9343 does not support booting from PCIe/NVMe SSDs. It's not going to work. If you want a 1TB SSD that will work, you should get the Samsung 860 Evo M.2 SSD, which uses SATA instead. Make sure you get the M.2 version, since the 860 Evo is also available in 2.5" and mSATA, which won't work in your system.
