I have the Inspiron 7573 with 12gb, it had the 2 tb Toshiba 5200RPM drive in it. I replaced this drive with the Samsung 860 M.2 500gb. I think that 2TB is a waste on a laptop anyway. This PC transformed into a very responsive zippy laptop. Out of the box it took at lease 15 to 20 minutes to get all updated and settle down. Then the boot up time was about 2 minutes (WHAH??????). The responsiveness was bad also. Just slow for an I-7 laptop. After the drive change it boots up in about 17 seconds. It now is very responsive. Internet is fast and usable. Why DELL would ever choke down a product like this is beyond my comprehension. They should sell this model with at least a 120GM M.2 installed. Their cost for that would be comparable. I really think they made a bad choice putting that slow SLOWWW drive in this laptop. Bottom Line: Yes this is a good drive for the Inspiron 7000 series laptop. 250 GB is plenty for a laptop. IF you need more space you could leave the 2TB drive in but boot on the 250 SSD. I wound up putting an old Agility 250GB ssd, I had laying around, into the 2.5 inch slot. The 2tb is laying on my desk (Useless). I just back up my user files on the Agility periodically.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
