In this video, I show how to replace the PCIe SSD inside my 2017 Dell XPS 13 (model 9360). I put in a new 500 GB WD Blue SSD, replacing a Hynix 120 GB SSD that the laptop came with.
In the video, I highlight the most important part of the process to make sure you don't damage the back cover on your laptop-DON'T PRY FROM THE BACK! - Věda a technologie
![So I Bought An Older Dell XPS 13...Here's What I Got [2021 Review]](/img/n.gif)
Finally got around to changing out the SSD in my 9360, thanks for the great guide, certainly made it painless.
Thanks for the post. I upgraded my SSD and your tips were spot on and had no issues what so ever!
it's frustrating how OEMs make it harder and harder to take their hardware apart, yet still ship with faulty components, in my case speaker and battery. Thank you for detailed clarification about taking this laptop apart!
I bought this laptop, got a new 1TB Samsung 970 Evo, and then found this video... Thank you so much!
I liked this video immediately!!
GREAT job Jeff. Way to keep things short and to the point. No muss no fuss. Very helpful video. Thanks a bunch for the UP. ;)
Hey, Thank you for everything you are doing!
I really like your Ansible book, and also the other stuff you are doing, like the packer images and stuff!
Greetings.
Great tutorial. You went out of your way to address questions I would have asked if I was watching in-person
Thanks for the video. Notice however, that the 2018 XPS 13 (at least the developer edition) has two differences. First, it doesn't have the screw in the middle of the case, and second the SSD does not pop up when you remove the little screw. Actually, it's glued with a very weak and gummy glue, so you need to gently pry it up with a fingernail, or something.
This was crystal clear, and included everything I needed to know to successfully upgrade my SSD. Thanks so much!
Hey Jeff, great and helpful video thanks, appreciate the care you've taken with it.
Very informative and nice ASMR effect towards the end, now I'm too drowsy to do it
hai jeff, i want to ask, dell xps 13 9360 128 gb used ssd m.2 or ssd NVME?, i am planning to upgrade my ssd, thank you
This video covers in some detail the trickiest part of the process: getting the back cover off nondestructively.

Thanks for the video! What is the 2nd screwdriver you used/showed?
good video, I think it's better than the other ones I've seen
Very useful, works just as you said. I can't believe some are giving thumb down on a video helping the rest of us. Anyway.... A big thank you!
Do I need a copy of windows to install on the new hard drive after replacing it?
Somehow one screw inside mine got lose (the one that holds the charging port). Thanks for the hints how to get into it without breaking anything !
What is the SSD card part number or how I can get one? I bought a Dell XPS i7 without Hard drive and I am looking to install one but I am not an expert on this. Thanks for the help!
This was super helpful, thank you!
Is it possible for XPS13 to run in 2 units SSD?
Thank you so much, this was such a helpful guide!!
Is the SSD WD Blue M.2 2280 500GB for PC or it will also fit the laptop?
How about when the screen won’t turn on? Do you have any fix for that?
Thanks man that was a great and very easy to follow video
on a side note, love the Doctor Who poster... cheers
Is it the same process for the 2 in 1?
What cable is needed to migrate your data to the new hard drive?
Hi Jeff new subscriber. Do you have a video showing the ram upgrade on this particular model?
I have an XPS 13 9360 and when I power it on it and ctrl+p f12 and it's set to UEFI and secure boot that gets me to a Linux Mint 18 cinnamon 64 bit which then runs and ends up saying have up waiting for root device. Alert! /dev/mapper/mint--bg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Help? Please?
Thank you, internet stranger, helpful info.
Also, like the Dalek poster.
Can you recommend a 1 TB SSD replacement
Thanks for this, very good vidéo. Continue again ;)
Thanks for your video, it's super helpful :)
where did u buy the dell pcie ssd
What are compatible Hard Drives for the 9350?
Hey mate, my dell xps 13 9360 says harddisk not installed. I did all the tutorial in youtube but it it doesn’t fix. So do i have to change my harddisk or what should i do??
hii .... i want to add a new ssd and not wanna remov the older one ....so is there only one slot or can i add more ssd to it(its the same model 9360)?
I just purchaed an XPS 13 7390. It's a bit different, I can't see the SSD or the memory card. I run Linux so cloning the inferior Redmen OS is not important. Anybody know of a video that shows how to get to the SSD and memory of the 7390?
Hi what type of SSD is this laptop using? Can I use NVME PCIE M.2 SSD?
The two front screws metal became rounded when I tried to unscrew them, so now it's impossible to open :/
You used the wrong screwdriver.
Is this an M.2 form SSD?
Can you put a Solid State disk on that computer?
Hey Jeff, thanks for this video! Do you still have this XPS 13 9360 model? Curious if you could give a long-term update if you've had any issues if possible? TIA!
Yep! Still using it for my Windows testing and some light gaming to this day! It is a pretty good laptop, the best Windows-based laptop I've used. I still hate the placement of the webcam though, but newer models don't have that "up nose" problem anymore.
Thanks, great help!
OMG. I pried from the back. Now I’m pregnant. In all seriousness this helped a lot. Your tutorial made me moist.
Can I replace original M&B ssd with new one with M key only?
Is the T5 torx a security screw (with the pin in the middle) that requires a special torx with the hole in the bit?
Nope, just a standard Torx head.
Can i upgrade the rams in xps 13 9380?
Good vidoe - thank you. ?-What is max SSD for this device? ;))
Will this eliminate a full C:? Mine is filling up on its own, corrupt files?
How do you clone your old SSD in order to use the new one? Is there a usb device needed or just an online website to back it up? Thanks!
Aomei partition manager
best to use a desktop to do it I think you can use an M.2 to USB 3,0 enclosure and basically turn it into a usb drive and use the software to copy everything over
maricum reflect free also works good
How do I clone the old SSD to the new one?
I used EaseUS Partition Master - see more details in my blog post here: www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2018/how-upgrade-ssd-hard-drive-dell-xps-13-9360
what about the original windows source on the old SSD? is there a way to transfer it to the new one?
Good question. I'd have thought that, in cloning the original SSD, everything (including the original Windows) gets ported over, no?
On the Dell Xps 13 9360, is it possible to replace the 8 Gb to 32 Gb RAM? Thank you.
Unfortunately no, all XPS pc's come with the ram soldered onto the motherboard.
Can you help me replace my ram
Can you upgrade ram?
Should an M.2 sata 2280 SSD fit inside and replace the existing M.2 NVME SSD?
YES, The NVMe installed by default is already a 2280
Hi, Jeff! How many SSD slots are there in this Dell XPS 13? Can I use two SSD?
no, just the one
I wanted to add a second drive as well. :( . Now I will have a second spare but will put it in a case to be USB drive
Thank you!
Is it worth it to buy the XPS with the smallest SSD, clone the contents, and upgrade to 1TB SSD on your own ?
It's probably more cost effective than buying one already installed from Dell.
Does this work with the 2018 model as well and can memory be upgraded as well?
Not sure about the 2018 model (but I presume so, if the hardware is similar); but memory cannot be upgraded, as it's soldered in.
Memory is soldered into the 2018 model and thus cannot be changed.
the size is 22x80?
what about the ram memory, can it be replaced?
No. The ram is soldered to the motherboard and therefore is not user replaceable.
is it M.2 SATA? it is not M.2 NVMe PCIe?
Thanks man.
What is the tool at 01:46 called and where can I purchase it?
Pry tool, can be found in ifixit bundles or you can use a plastic knife or something of the such
hi is wifi card replace-able and not soldered on?
Yes, at least on the older 9360 I7-7500U. You can see it in the video on the top left corner.
Hi, I've heard that dell xps use specific types of SSDs, how to choose one so that it works ? Thanks
My question too. See you asked 10 months ago and no answer, so I suppose i won't get an answer anytime soon.
@@bh9262 Samsung 970 EVO M2 should work fine!
@@Hadam852 Thanks for the info! I have already replaced my SSD, and I believe that is the exact one I now have. Thanks for the message..
@@bh9262 I am about to do the same..did you pick the 970 EVO or 970 EVO Plus?
@@Hadam852 I went to get the box. I got the 500GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2. It is doing a great job!
I changed the SSD but now the laptop wont power back on, even after putting back the original SSD. I see two amber and 5 white LED lights. Please help!
Were you able to get it back on? Hopefully it wasnt b/c of a short circuit
This model it’s possible change se memory ram ?
The memory on Dell XPS 13 9360 is soldered to the motherboard, and there is no additional RAM slot for expansion.
I don’t recommend upgrading this system. I upgraded my SSD, but it caused a bit of damage opening it. The T5 skrews are very easy to strip. The board flexes a lot when prying it to open and the lid is very tight. I ended up warping a corner where my battery button is which ended up wrecking the device. I wish I had known that this device wasn’t as repair friendly
Dell-ightful
Dell-icious internals!
I wish that getting the screws out was that easy
It is!
With the right tools I had no problems...
You are far more likely to break the plastic connector than the fiberglass tabs on the PCB...
RAM upgrade?

@@karmicselling4252 my laptop is just heating up on a lot, all my cpu cores run at 99 degrees, I don't know is this normal for XPS 13 9360. need advice.
