Re: Do I need any special parts from Dell? Assuming I use SATA and not NVME, would any normal SATA cable work or do I need a specific one, and is there any specific limits on SSD or if I got a 2TB one from Samsung or Corsair would it work just fine assuming cable and sizings correct?  no special part.  just a generic 3.5 to 2.5 adapter (dell or non-dell).  you need a SATA III cable to be compatible with ssd speed.  no max size limit (assuming you plan to use gpt partition).  2tb would work just fine. I like the Dell adapter F767D.[IMAGE]  
My HDD's getting old and showing errors so I'm looking to upgrade it, I was thinking of putting an SSD into it for longevity, any specific procedure/parts I need? My current drive is a Seagate Barracuda 3'5 inch HDD.   Do I need any special parts from Dell? Assuming I use SATA and not NVME, would any normal SATA cable work or do I need a specific one, and is there any specific limits on SSD or if I got a 2TB one from Samsung or Corsair would it work just fine assuming cable and sizings correct? I know NVME/M.2's faster but I need something fairly soon.
