5 Things to Know About the OptiPlex 3000 Micro Storage

Only one M.2 slot The OptiPlex 3000 Micro has a single M.2 2230/2280 slot for PCIe NVMe Gen 3 x4 SSDs.

No drive bays This tiny chassis has no 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive bays, so you cannot add a second drive.

Storage is limited to one SSD You are stuck with whatever capacity you choose for that single M.2 drive.

Plan capacity ahead Since you cannot upgrade storage later without replacing the existing SSD, buy the largest drive you can afford from the start.

External storage is your only expansion If you need more space, you must use USB or network-attached storage.
