PNY - 500GB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 500 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 3500 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 2000 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: M.2
- Interface(s): PCIe Gen 3 x4 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

- NAND Flash Memory Type: 3D NAND (Single Level Cell (SLC) stores 1 bit of data per memory cell; Multi Level Cell (MLC) stores 2 bits per cell, Triple Level Cell (TLC) 3 bits, and Quad Level Cell (QLC) 4 bits. Vertical NAND (V-NAND) or 3D NAND stores more data by layering cells vertically. Similarly, there are 3D MLC, 3D TLC and 3D QLC stacked cells.)

A: Get on Dell.com and look up the model and then check out the Mother board layout. If there is a slot it will be somewhere on the board and labeled as SATA or Pcie. If you can not find it give me the model number and I will be Glad to check for you. Try yourself and get back to me. I am not sure being it's 8 years old. Hold onto your receipt and return in under 14 days in the event it does not have the proper port. Get a Pcie if it has correct port. It is Much faster than SATA. Do not open package until you open covers and see the correct port so you will be able to return the item. Mike R.
A: I will be doing exactly that within the next month. I am an old Microsoft Engineer (retired) and I service friends office networks. They will be doing these upgrades all over the US. So I will be drafting up a small training video and work manual for accomplishing this exact task installing a Pcie SSD into their individual workstation. I have my own Personal Nitro 5 with Gen 8 8300H and stock Pcie SSD just like your PC. Contact me in approx. 1 month (or sooner) I will be listing it on Best Buy reviews of that Ssd. I'm not bothering to add it to the Nitro 5 PC listing on Best Buy as I believe all of the NJ stores have like just 1 Nitro PC left. Just pay them $599 as they were on sale for a few days about 2 weeks ago. My guess is however that the Nitro Pcie setup is the same I purchased a full year ago. Got mine the week it released for just $649.99. Following g that they have been $799.00 and on sale occasionally. Anyhow I will get back to you. I have a SATA EVO 500GB for a 2nd/data drive. Super fast when all memory running on SSD. Get back to you..... Grand National Mike. I was going to buy that last Nitro 5 left but I'm going to purchase a 17.3 new style Nitro 5. They just released the New Models both a 17.3" and 2 Nitro 15.6's. ALL Plastic I hear from owners of New Nitros Let me let you go already. get back to me if you have questions. Thanks...
