Drive Notes
The Dell Precision 17-7730 Mobile Workstation Comes in 3 Different Drive Options Depending on the Battery Installed and Supports up to 4 Drives. (One 2.5" Solid State Drive or Hard Drive with the Smaller 4-cell 64Whr Battery Installed and/or Three M.2 NGFF (2280) Solid State Drives) or (Four M.2 NGFF (2280) Solid State Drives with either the Smaller 4-cell 64Whr Battery or the Larger 6-cell 97Whr Battery Installed) Note: Models that have the larger 97Whr battery installed do not support 2.5" Drives due to the larger battery occupying the 2.5" Drive bay. The 2.5" Drive and the M.2 (2280) Drive (in slot 4) occupy the same space when the smaller 64Whr battery is installed. If installing a M.2 (2280) Drive in slot 4, you will need the M.2 mounting bracket carrier p/n 8FT91 and thermal cooling cover p/n 1J2CX for installation. If installing a 2.5" Drive in models with the smaller 64Whr battery and M.2 slot 4 is empty, you will need the 2.5" Drive caddy p/n F07VM and interposer board p/n CK36K and mounting bracket p/n 9DYY7 for installation. If installing a M.2 (2280) Drive in slots 3, 5 or 6, you will need the M.2 Drive thermal cooling cover p/n 1J2CX for installation. (The M.2 slots support SATA and PCIe NVMe Solid State Drives)
