So I have an Inspiron 3847 and it has a 3.5’ 1TB hard drive. Sorry, I’m not at home right now and forget which brand.

I was hoping to upgrade to a SSD and therewithin lies the problem. I can’t find any 3.5 SSDs.

I’m very confused. But would it be possible to connect a 2.5’ SSD to the same Sata connectors my current (old) hard drive uses? I’m unsure which version of sata it is.

My PC was built in 2014 if that helps.

    Exactly. I have 2 x WD Blue 2TB drives in mine that use the same cables as a regular Sata hdd (primary and secondary actually as I also have an m2 drive). Heat isn’t an issue and they both work in that corsair caddy perfectly.
