Solid State Drive For Dell Xps 8700 2018

I installed it as a secondary/backup hard drive on a Dell XPS 8700 that I recently purchased. After installation I used the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnosis software to test the hard drive, then I cloned the OS hard drive to the WD using the free WD Acronis software available on WD's site.

I needed a cable for a secondary HD that I installed on a Dell XPS 8700. Just a note of advise though. Check the computer case before hand to see what length of cable that's needed. I could have used a much shorter cable.

I have a six year old Dell XPS 8700 desktop that I use mostly to edit photos in Photoshop, Capture One, and Topaz Denoise. Also use it to vied CAD files in Rhino. The system came with four 4 GB modules, 16 GB total. I easily removed the original four and installed four Crucial 8 GB cards. I immediately noticed a marked improvement in the PC's performance. Faster, more responsive using all applications. Easy upgrade and worthwhile, IMO.

I bought this for my new Dell XPS 8700. I worked immediately, and I did not have to install software. When I first plugged items into the ports, there was some lack of connection, but all is well now (must have had some dust in there).NOTE: I tried a different 3.0 card on my older Dell XPS 8000 (which did not have 3.0 USB ports), and it did not work. I assume your computer must be able to handle USB 3.0 for these cards to work.

I use this on the road with both my 2018 15 Dell XPS and my 2019 MacBook Pro 16 and have had zero issues. It's immediately recognized and works without any issues. In the short time I've had it (a few weeks now), it's traveled all over the country. It's very thin, even with the magnetic cover on it; roughly the thickness of a larger tablet like an iPad Pro or Surface Pro. I can easily fit my two laptops and this in the laptop section of my Everki backpack (unrelated: Everki makes amazing backpacks for these types of purposes, if you're in the market). I love that it's bus-powered. One cable and done. Primary uses are business, not creative, so I can't render opinions on color accuracy, etc. What I can point out is it has the blue-light adjustment settings, which I definitely appreciate when I'm working longer hours. I've set it to about the middle tier on that and find it easier on the eyes without being distractingly yellow-hued. In retrospect, I kind of wish I'd gotten the touchscreen version... so if you're on the fence and don't mind dropping the extra coin, it might be worth it to you, but I obviously can't knock the product rating for not doing something that it specifically says it doesn't do. It does what it claims to do and does it well. If that feature isn't important to you, it's a slam dunk.

Solid state drive worth it.

Bought a new Dell XPS from B&H and wanted to configure with a backup internal RAID drive. This Seagate drive worked perfectly. Just needed the SATA cable and a bit of courage to open my new machine and mess with it. So far so good. Seems to have worked perfectly.

Bought Seagate drive to add to my new Dell XPS computer. This cable was the only other item needed to configure an internal RAID backup.

Crucial has a solid reputation and these DIMMs have lived up to the rep. I installed them in a Dell XPS 15 7590 and having 32GB of RAM has made all the difference in performance of LR. PS, and video editing.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful
