Upgrading storage of Dell Precision 7550

Hi everyone,

The Precision 7550 only has the option to add SSDs with capacity up to 2TB in the online configurator on the Dell website. And also the specifications list only 2TB as maximum option. However, there exist 8TB SSDs, such as

Can I manually upgrade the Precision 7550 with 8TB SSDs and would it work?

Many thanks

 

4TB is already confirmed to work. I believe that 8TB will also work fine but haven’t heard from anyone who has tried it. Buy one from someplace with easy returns and give it a go (it should be fine) and let us know.

I’ve read lots of Precision upgrade stories on here and never seen a storage upgrade fail because the drive was too big. I have an 8TB (SATA) SSD working in a Precision 7510. (I am totally planning on 3x8TB NVMe for a data/storage array when I finally pick up a new Alder Lake system next year.)

 

Thank you very much for the reply, that sounds hopeful. In particular if the you got an 8TB working in a Precision 7510, it should work in an 7550.

It's a good idea to simply test it (and to report it back here), will do that
