The conclusion is that some do not know what they are talking about. There are NO SLOTS for M2 or MSATA SSD on the motherboard.
You could add a specific SSD controller to the X1 slot. Velocity SOLO.

Hi,
Thank you for writing to Dell Community Forum.
XPS 8300 supports only SATA hard drives and SSD's are not supported.
Below are the capacities of the SATA hard drives:
500 GB
750 GB
1 TB
1.5 TB
2 TB
Please click my DELL-username and send me a Private Message with the Dell Service Tag number and your email address.
Note: please don't mention the service tag or email id on the public forum as it contains your personal information
