Dell XPS 13 9305 SSD Replacement

Introduction

This guide will demonstrate how to remove and replace the Solid State Drive (SSD) in your Dell XPS 13 9305. Use this guide if you're upgrading your SSD, replacing an existing SSD, or transferring an SSD from another computer.

Note that the SSD shield is only required for 30 mm-long (M.2 2230) SSDs. If you install an 80 mm-long full size (M.2 2280) SSD, do not install the shield. This will be described again in the relevant step below.

Before you perform this repair, back up your existing SSD if possible. If you’re replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.

I don't know whether anyone had the same experience, but the SSD keeps disconnecting sometimes. Does anyone have any idea whether it is possible to put something inside so that it keeps the SSD seated properly in the slot?

If it's a long SSD, did you remove the shield?
