Hi

I was looking to upgrade some of the drives in my Dell XPS 8930 (purchased May 2019).

The drives I wanted to upgrade were:
- a 1TB NVMe M.2, to a 2TB version
- and a 500GB 2.5" SATA SSD, also to a 2TB version.

Though looking through the specs for my machine, it indicates my PC has a limit for any SSDs of 1TB.

So I was a bit puzzled about the apparent 1TB limit, and was wondering if there was a way of getting round this 1TB limit?

The specs of my current drivers are:
- Samsung Evo Plus 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2
- Samsung EVO 850 2.5" 500GB SATA SSD.

Many thanks
 
This info I found from the official documentation for my PC, on the Dell Support site. I also contacted Overclockers and they seemed to back it up by saying my max size is 1TB for any SSDs, again I do find this puzzling why the limit?
 
Thanks everyone for the help on this, and clarifying that it is possible to use drives of more than 1TB. I will have a good look at both Crucial and Kingston configurators before making a choice.

Thanks again
