    Currently have the following HD configuration:

    128GB M.2 SSD + 1TB 5400RPM SA TA 6Gb/s

    I would like to swap it with a single 2TB SSD drive instead if possible. Do i have to order it from Dell (with their outrageous prices)? Or can i just get one from a place like Microcenter?

    The drives are not Dell specific so just install whatever drive you like.
