Upgrading m.2 ssd
I currently have a dell optiplex 7010 sff i513500, 32gb RAM, 256gb m.2 ssd I wanna upgrade to 1tb. I just wanted to know if the ssd can be swapped out for any other m.2 ssd I understand gen 3 or 4 because currently mine has a gen 4 inside. I don’t want to buy an ssd and have compatibility issues like I did when upgrading the ram. Thanks

I would just refer to the spec sheet for the storage specs. Storage should have less compatibility issues than memory so as long as you're going with an M.2 nvme, you should really be fine with any brand. Shouldn't really have an issue with going 2230 or 2280 either.

gen 4 M.2 ssd would be best, but a 1 TB 2.5 sata ssd would work just as well. beware nowadays ssd price have increased significantly due to supply shortage 2/t AI.
