SSD / Hard drive
Tools
These are some common tools used to work on this device. You might not need every tool for every procedure.
Most repair instructions are available in the Precision 5570 Service Manual
Those devices are intended for professional/workstation use but I like them anyway for personal use because:
* Most part can be configured
- There are two slots for disk (M2 format) with a raid support
- There are two slots for RAM
- We can stick to a discrete GPU only (if pick the i5 CPU) if you don't want to install additional driver (but you can't have the nicest screen)
* We can have a battery of 86 wh if you care something heavier
- Select Linux as operating system to not have to pay for Windows if you don't use it
I haven't done much on the repair side yet. However, just after unpacking I added my existing SSD into it which was easy.
I'm happy to provide more information or answer questions people have about this device.
