Question Upgrading XPS 15 with additional HDD

[limpus_the_savage]

Heyo!

First and foremost.. I've never upgraded/mingled inside of a PC or laptop before, but
I've been told it's like following instructions for a lego set so that should be fine 😀

I'm planning to upgrade the RAM and Storage capacity of my XPS 15 9570.
Regarding the RAM upgrade I've found some nice articles so that shouldn't be that much of a problem.

Currently I have about 512 GB of SSD, but I would like to add 1 or 2 TB of storage capacity
for big files that don't really need to be accessed that much or quickly.
I've found tutorials that describe adding more SSD to a Dell XPS 15, but I don't want to spend
the money on a TB SSD as this would be a waste in my opinion...

But I can't find any tutorials about adding HDD to an XPS 15...
Is this even possible?

I've been looking and I think this would be the one I would like to buy and install (if it's possible):

Anyone has experience and or tutorials they can share with me?

Greetings!

PC's are like lego, laptops, like lego made of sugar glass... would not a TB class USB stick/SD card be simpler?

Heyo!

Would be simpler I guess, but less convenient in the long run.
And I'm opening up my laptop anyway for RAM expansion so why not
add a HDD as well while I'm at it 😀

I just want to know if it's possible... and how to do it.
If it ends up being too much of a hassle to add HDD, I'll switch to adding
internal SSD (but not TB-sized because that's still too expensive), but this is a decision I
can only make when I know the specifics of this sugar glass operation!

Greets!

Does it have a location for an SSD/HDD, if so what z-height, find a drive with the right z-height and you'll be fine, just be very very careful when disassembling.

 

[13thmonkey]

Sorry the way to do that is to examine the options offered, if they offer a HDD then you're in luck, find the model you'll find the Z height.

looking at the interior u have no option of adding a hdd, only option is upgrading the m.2 ssd; the other way is to use a memory card in the sd slot or buy an external hard drive...
Sry but these are the only options as far as i can see...

Yeah - no space for additional SSD/HDD in there.

...Too bad 🙁

Guess I'll have to either upgrade my SSD or go for the external option then!
Thanks for your answers!
