Re: The motherboard has bios Revision A07 and is not UEFI as far as I know.   380 and same class slightly higher tier model 780 have a rudimentary uefi bios with mouse control (traditional bios has only keyboard control).  to make it simple, have legacy enabled in “Drives”_”Sata Operation” in bios, and then try do a fresh clean install of Windows 10 on the Hynix ssd.  You should have no problem then.  No need to be gun shy. as far as pc and Windows 10 are concerned, sata hdd and ssd are equivalent.  If you can install OS on sata hdd, no technical incompatibility to do the same on sata ssd.  Your cloning of os from hdd to ssd may be the cause of no booting.  It is not due to the ssd itself.  many users had reported problem of not booting from ssd after cloning from hdd on other Dell pc.  not getting into details what went wrong here as your question was “compatible ssd”.
Hi all.  I have an Optiplex 380 SFF  that I would like to swap out the hard drive with an SDD.   I actually tried this a couple months back with a Hynix Gold S31 but could not get it to work.  I could access the drive  through Windows 10 and even cloned the original drive to it but could not get it to boot from that drive.  Eventually I got so frustrated that I used it in a different pc but want to try again.  It’s obviously an older system but it works for its particular use.  The motherboard has bios Revision A07 and is not UEFI as far as I know.   Crucial’s website claims several models are compatible but after the Hynix I’m gun shy.  I’d actually prefer a Samsung EVO but don’t want to buy one if I’m not sure.    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks Scott
Compatible SSD with Optiplex 380 SFF?
