Hi all,

I've just purchased the Dell Inspiron 3891 desktop which comes with 1TB HDD.

Plan to buy a SSD, mainly as a boot drive (no gaming or any graphic designs, mainly work, surf, video, music).

Can someone give some recommendations? Really headache already after reading a lot and there are just so many brands/types out there.
- I guess 500GB should be just right? Actually 250GB should be enough but I thought that might be a bit low
- Wish to buy some more reliable/ durable SSD, but have no idea which brand to go for
- Below is the available slots from Dell, I guess I should go for M.2 PCIe NVMe?
- Not particular on budget, maybe RM 200 to RM 600, but guess I don't have to overkill and get some high specs/speed SSD?

Any guidance is very much appreciated

Something like the Corsair MP510?  hmm.gif

For SSD, minimally you should aim for a 250GB drive, but for some breathing room you should aim for a 500GB drive icon_idea.gif

Ya guess probably 500GB is just right.
Will check out MP510, are there are other brands with similar performance/ reliability as MP510?
If there are, then I'll just compare the prices see which has better promo

just get samsung evo 1tb and clone the whole drive.

just prepare for yourself to deal with bios secure boot setting if u re-install windows in new drive.

I just called Dell, was told max can support is 512GB, anyway I don't think I need 1TB anyway.
