Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Given the age of your system and what we have listed for this series it offers one of first generation of M.2 interfaces which offers dual interface a mSATA III (6.0 Gb/s) or PCIe 2.0 x2 interface for a Total Effective Data Rate: 8.0Gb/s.

@kawar according to the Dell specifications your Dell Inspiron 15 5577 can take up to 512 GB (PCIe NVMe SSD only configuration). Use this Dell document to read all about the specs for your computer Inspiron 15 5000 Gaming Specifications. You can always try for higher capacity but those are the specs that are verified to work

The risk here is the amount of power the system has if you run both drive ports. Using the M.2 port alone should allow you to install a larger drive, but the cooling of the M.2 area can then be an issue if the drive has a lot of data churn. The larger drives need more cooling!
There are heatsinks available for M.2 SSDs but you would need the space in the laptop to attach them, without putting pressure on the SSD or the motherboard etc when everything is reassembled.
There's also thermal heat strips (example only) that could be used for extra cooling, if not enough space to fit a heatsink was a factor.
Cheers
@jayeff - Very true! But heat sinks or even thermal pads/strips have a limit.
Heat is a funny thing, collecting it is not too hard, it’s getting rid of it! Which gets into air flow and having a fin area to effectively shed it into the air flow passively.
@danj @jayeff @kawar anybody have any real data on the difference in temps for the drives or is this strictly anecdotal? How much is the temp increased by using a 1TB drive (Crucial 1TB P3)? Needing "more cooling" does not mean that the current cooling system is overtaxed or ineffective. There is enough room to apply thermal strips etc. to deal with that, if needed. Yes, larger drives have higher temps but how much higher than the original drive. This just became a rabbit hole and is way of target then what the OP is asking. "so i know if i got better or worse then i think"
@jayeff ya the drive i want to use in question is Gen3 1TB seagate m.2

I just want to let everyone know in the time it took me to read and even write back to your comments I learned moire then i did when i called Dell and asked the same question.
I was being lazy and thought Dell would be able to tell me faster. I was so dumb.
