I have an Inspiron 3847 in which I installed a SSD as the primary and moved the existing HDD to the secondary drive position. I am wondering if anyone has installed a third HDD (or SSD) using the Sata and power cables intended for the optional secondary optical drive? Thanks.

It appears I need to replace the 32GB SSD in my computer, as the Intel RST reports multiple repeat failures in the drive. I purchased a replacement SSD, but when I installed it, the system failed to find a boot drive, so obviously I'm missing something. Can someone please list the steps to replacing

How do I identify the System Board on this AIO? I have it mostly apart but don't see the system board part numbers yet. I would like to price it before I go further also. Can't find the Part Number in the documentation so I assume it needs to come off the board itself. http://www.dell.
