Mine (XPS 17) already came with 64GB of ram and 2 TB nvme. So I added 4TB into the 2nd nvme slot and connect a QNAP 10GB ethernet to one of the thunderbolt ports. Maxed out.
I added a 2 TB SSD to the 2nd slot of my newly purchased 9700. I am not seeing the drive under disk management. Made sure the ssd was installed all the way and still not showing. Is there something that needs to be done to get the 2nd SSD drive to show up? The 1TB that come with the laptop shows. Thank you.
Hmm see if the disk is showing in the bios. If it isn’t then either the disk is bad(this happens sometimes), the socket on the laptop is bad (also happens). Also make sure that you chose the right drive. The one I tested in the video is known to work.
Nice video! The link you posted "below" regarding upgrading the main drive and using something on a USB C adapter to transfer the original data back onto it takes us back to this video.
XPS 17 9710, I have replaced the SSD by Samsung 980 PRO NVME, created a WIN 10 boot drive. The Samsung SSD 980 PRO is recognized by the BIOS but the partition is NOT recognized by the WIN 10 installation. ¿Any idea why the Samsung 980 PRO NVME partition is NOT being recognized by the WIN 10 installation usb drive?
@@JeffTheITGuy Found the issue. BIOS set up was in RAID ON, it seem that prevent from recognizing the new drive from clean OS installations. To solve this, it is required to change the settings from RAID ON to AHCI.
The 9710 is the new model with 11th Gen and a 3000 series card. The one I upgraded is the generation before that, so the 9700. The premise is the same however.
