    Hello! I'm just about to buy an XPS 13 with the 128 GB SSD. Just planning to swap it out for a Crucial MX200 500 GB SSD.

    I was looking at the reviews on Newegg and two people mentioned heat as a concern for the SSD - do you guys think it'll be a problem on the XPS? c:

    It seems unlikely.

    I own a 2015 model XPS 13 (9343) where the SSD was swapped out with a Crucial MX200 512GB version. Heat is not an issue, even when pegging the CPU with heavy COU and GPU workloads.

    You will be fine
