Does the Dell Inspiron 15 3510 Take an NVMe SSD?
Dell Inspiron 15 3510
NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.
- Reports
- 12
- Saw NVMe
- 100%
- Fastest link observed
- PCIe Gen2 ×4
The fastest link we saw in real machines was PCIe Gen2 ×4. That is a floorobserved in field reports, not the slot’s ceiling — a faster drive still works because PCIe is backward compatible; it simply runs at the slot’s speed.
Field reports can’t tell us the physical connector, how many slots are empty, or which M.2 length fits. Check the service manual and the installed drive before you buy.
Reported by field data
- Storage controller:
- Intel Corporation Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor SATA Controller
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation Gemini Lake Host Bridge
- Drives seen:
- Solid State Storage CL1-3D256-Q11 NVMe SSD M.2, Micron/Crucial P2 [Nick P2] / P3 / P3 Plus NVMe PCIe SSD (DRAM-less), SK hynix Gold P31/BC711/PC711 NVMe Solid State Drive
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
Capacities seen
- 500 GB (100%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.

How we know
This answer is derived from 12 independent hardware reports for the Dell Inspiron 15 3510, of which 100% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
