Upgrading my old Dell XPS15 9550 - will a newer nvme SSD work?
Go to solution
Solved by Rauten,
The WD you're looking at is PCIe Gen4, which your laptop doesn't support; your laptop can do PCIe Gen3.
The drive will work, but will do so at lower speeds than advertised.

What is your current drive, and why do you want to upgrade it? For most standard use cases, any old sata SSD will do enough. If you already have a sata or nvme SSD and you don't do anything with the laptop that can actually take advantage of the speed (video editing, for example), you won't really notice much of a difference during normal daily use.
