Replacing SSDs on a DELL Precision M6700
Hi,
my DELL Precision M6700 is equipped with three SSDs (the 2nd and 3rd mirrored by RAID 1).
I found videos on YouTube on how to replace the main SSD, but I couldn't find information on how to replace SSD #2 and #3.
Is there any instruction available on how to replace these?
What form factor do new SSDs need come with in order to fit?
Your answers are appreciated!

@ejn63 An SSD is either PCIe or SATA. It can't be both.

They are 2.5" SATA drives -- this system does not support M.2 drives.
The service manual is linked below - there are slots for two drives. If you have a third, it must be installed in place of the optical (DVD) drive.
