Does the Dell Inspiron 5593 Take an NVMe SSD?
Dell Inspiron 5593
NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.
- Reports
- 86
- Saw NVMe
- 91%
- Fastest link observed
- PCIe Gen3 ×4
The fastest link we saw in real machines was PCIe Gen3 ×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 Ice Lake-LP SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation Device
- Drives seen:
- KIOXIA BG4 (DRAM-less), Samsung 980 (DRAM-less), SK hynix BC511 NVMe SSD
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 (50%)
- 1 TB (17%)
- 512 GB (17%)
- 320 GB (17%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.

How we know
This answer is derived from 86 independent hardware reports for the Dell Inspiron 5593, of which 91% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
