I do not normally work with this system but thought I would help. On this system you will want to confirm what version of chassis/motherboard you have before buying the drive since this system can either have an msata or 2.5" drive.
Here is a link to the service manual for your system where you will see options for installing a 2.5" which I linked (so this would be the normal 2.5" Samsung 850 drive that will work). Also at this link you will also see a choice for msata which if you have a regular 2.5" drive you can stop here and get that drive, but if not will want to confirm you have the msata drive (so click that link on the left hand side and continue). Depending what your system has will determine what drive to order.
I hope this helps, and while this is not something that has been tested by Dell I have seen a lot of user posts stating that they were able to get it work just fine.
Best regards,
Brad

There isn't a BIOS limit on the drive size. SSDs of any capacity will work.
