G3 Laptop Disk Upgrade
Hi all, hoping I can get a couple of pointers / clarity regarding upgrading the drives in my G3 3779 laptop. The drives it currently has are:
Hard Drive,1TB,5.4,2.5,7,Surface Mount,SGT-RSWA (part #2J7C1)
Solid State Drive,128Gb,S3,80S3,HYNIX,SC311 (part #6HG72)
Ideally I want to upgrade both of these to larger SSD's or one larger SSD, but I'm not sure if the G3 supports either configuration.
I got in touch with Dell to quote for upgraded drives, but I don't have much faith that what they specified in the quote is compatible either:
1. HD,2TB,5.4,2.5,7,SM,WD-MN1000M
2. SSDR,256,S3,80S3,WDC,SA530
If someone with more knowledge than me (i.e. most people!) could verify or recommend a solution that would be great :)

You can have one, M.2 2280 NVMe SSD and one 2.5" SATA SSD or hard drive.
From the manual:
No need to purchase from Dell -- these are standard components you can purchase wherever you'd like. Though Dell may only have tested drives to a certain capacity, anything that physically fits the system will work.
Storage
Up to 512 GB

Thanks! I'll probably replace both existing with SSD's, and now I know to have a look around for 1 xM.2 2280 NVMe SSD and 1 x 2.5" SATA SSD.
