Inspiron 5570, M.2 slot type?
I bought this laptop a few days ago, and now I want to add some ssd drive on its m.2 slot. I want to know what type of SSD is compatible with this M.2 slot?

In order to see the maximum speed, your system must be capable of GT4 operation - Inspiron systems are not. They're GT2 (power saving mode), meaning you'll see about half what the drive is capable of -- which is what you are seeing. So -- you're seeing the best you can do with an Inspiron system.
For GT4 mode, you need a newer XPS (9570), Alienware or Precision system - these will allow GT4 operation.
It's one of the trade-offs for a low cost system.
The following SSD have been tested by Dell on your Inspiron 5570 =
Samsung PM961
Samsung PM981
Western Digital SN520
Toshiba BG3
Toshiba XG5

The system will work with any standard, M.2 2280 drive - either SATA or NVMe.

Hi guys,
But its not enough this information in Dell site, because in my Inspiron 5570 you can see 4 pin in the connector, as the picture below.
All M.2 ssd I see it's 5 pin, it's work in this notebook? Thanks.

The specs posted above clearly mention an NVMe SSD, so yes.

Can you check if its read/write velocity exceeds that for SATA III ? This matter depends on socket type, ist wiring, and the bios.
Thanks in advance.

Here's my slightly off topic question:
Can I replace the current 1tb SATA3 drive in my 5570 with my existing Samsung EVO SATA3 SSD drive? For clarity, this is not an M.2 drive, but a SATA3 SSD drive.
Thank you.

I installed a Samsung 970 EVO 250GB NVMe M.2 in my 5570, no issues. Using it as my boot/system drive, very fast.

Okidave.
How do you use this as just a boot drive exactly?
Does this work with 5 pins and the slot in the laptop has 4 pins?
