Hi all, I have the Dell G15 5511 laptop that came with the 512gb ssd. I've ran out of storage, so I decided to purchase a Crucial T500 2TB PCle Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD with speeds of 7400/7000mb to place into the second vacant ssd slot in the laptop to help with storage. I figured I'd leave the slot one as is so I could utilize both.

However, I just found out that the second ssd slot on the laptop only allows for Gen 3 ssd's and that it only allows up to 1TB as well per the Dell manual. I've read a few posts saying that 2TB works fine in that slot, but those reference gen 3 ssds.

So my question is, can I put in a 2TB gen 4 SSD into the gen 3 slot for solid results? Or should I put the new 2TB SSD into slot 1 and move the old 512gb SSD into slot 2? Or am I just better off replacing the 512gb entirely with the new SSD? Not the best with computers, so I appreciate any help!!

I want to buy a gen 4 ssd ie the wb black sn 770 but i have seen many forums saying that they are not getting only gen 3 speed on their laptop. On their site they have given that gen 4 ssd is supported upto 2 tb but didn't mention which slot. Can anyone confirm this with crystal disk benchmark?

Hello, I want to buy a 5511 and then put a second SSD in. However, on the support website, the circled NOTE makes me think that it is not possible to do this, as my configuration only ships with one 512 gig m.2 drive. What should I make of this? Can I have two m.2 drives running at once if I buy a config with only one drive? Dell seems to say no, but common sense says yes. Please help, thank you!

This DELL G15 model has a secondary SSD port for users that want to upgrade it But I’ve never done something like this and I don’t know how to start

If someone could send me some SSD models recommendations or any information that would help me, I would be really grateful!
