[dba-Tech] Can my laptop hold an SSD?

[Gustav Brock]

Hi Arthur

Extremely few laptops can hold more than one drive, so if it could, you would probably know about it. A bing/google on your model indicates nothing special.

But normally you are not this lazy - it will take you about 30 seconds to dismantle the bottom cover to reveal the drive(s) - often the cover is marked with a tiny cylinder as the icon for a fixed drive.

Emne: [dba-Tech] Can my laptop hold an SSD?

I don't want to take it apart just to find this out. Maybe someone here has a similar or identical machine.

Here are the specs:

Dell 15R-1543
8 GB RAM
1 TB hard disk

If the machine has room for it, I'd like to install a 250 GB SSD alongside the hard disk.
