I've never check compatibility in crucial, do you think that if they say that works it work?

It's a 2017 laptop Dell support on the phone told me that manual says 256 GB but I can try by myself if a 1 tb SSD works but they didn't confirm.

Hi there.

A HDD up to 2TB

A SSD up to (only) 256 GB

So no, you literally can not install a 1TB SSD. I would try it anyway (as long as you have the option to send that harddrive back afterwards, Amazon?).

I did put a 1TB SATA SSD into my wifes 2013 HP Pavilion to replace an old 256GB HDD. Your model should be from 2016 or so? I dont see any reason why it cannot support technically a larger SSD as well.

(Samsung 870 QVO SATA III 2,5 Zoll SSD (MZ-77Q1T0BW)

Yes, you may.

You may use any 2.5" SATA SSD, up to 9.5 mm in thickness. Here are Crucial SSDs that are compatible with your laptop, though you may buy any brand. You may go all the way to 4 TB, if you want. I have installed large-capacity 2.5" SATA SSDs in Dell laptops much older than yours.

Follow procedures in Dell's Service Manual.

While you are in there, you might as well replace the CMOS battery (coin-cell battery), given that it could be up to five years old. They are inexpensive.

Whenever touching components or working inside a computer, wear a grounded wrist strap, also called anti-static wrist strap, ESD wrist strap, or ground bracelet. It's a cheap and sensible precaution. Rest the laptop on an anti-static mat or at least a reasonable alternative such as corrugated cardboard. (Repeatedly touching a metal case part is not sufficient mitigation with modern components.)

Yes, Crucial guarantees compatibility and will accept return and refund if it doesn't. And I have already confirmed for you that it will work. I have done it in Dell laptops much older than yours.

Dell's maximum memory and storage specifications are published at the time of system design, based on what they tested. It's not a limitation, so don't take it as gospel. Technology evolves, and often larger RAM sticks and larger drives become available after Dell publishes the specs, and Dell does not generally go back to revise the maximum specs. So, Dell's specs should not be interpreted as limitations or maximums.

@Bitox

Those capacities were what was tested at the time when that model was in production, or the maximum capacity that the 3567 could have been ordered with. Any 2.5" SATA SSD drive should work, though I highly recommend not to exceed 2 terabytes to ensure maximum compatibility.

I also want to point out that your laptop is around 6 years old at this point and doesn't officially support Windows 11, so installing a large SSD may not be financially logical as you could put that money towards a newer system. If you don't plan on ever filling up a 1 TB SSD, stick with something smaller, which in turn will be cheaper. For internet usage and storing small programs & files, go with at least a 250 GB SSD. Anything smaller may fill up too quickly.

Crucial's policy is that if the RAM or SSD turns out to be not compatible, you may return it for a refund or exchange. This discussion about the maximum storage size for Dell systems has gone on for years and has been explained many times by forum moderators that the max size is only determined by what SSD Dell has actually tested in their systems and not by the actual maximum compatible SSD.
