Hi, I'm looking to replace the existing SATA 1TB Hard Drive (DATA drive) as I keep running out of space. The Windows 10 OS is running on the 256mb SSD drive which is fine.I've looked on the DELL website and it looks like the max size of drive I can add is 2 TB - is this correct? - I was hoping to add a 4 TB SATA HD Drive, something like the WD Red, or Seagate equivalent. Is this possible?I did contact DELL chat support and they said I couldn't add anything larger than 1 TB!! - I'm assuming that's wrong? - I hope someone here can help... Thanks in advance, kind regardsBrian
