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!
