Some drive manufacturers will make cloning software available for free if you're cloning to one of their drives (Crucial and Samsung are two drive makers I know have offered this in the past).<br /> <br />The following M2->USB adapter can be had from Amazon for only $10 (be sure to plug it into the one USB 3.0 port on your 3050):<br />https://www.amazon.com/QNINE-Adapter-Needed-Converter-Reader/dp/B074GQTSBR<br /><br />If you have no plans for the M2 that's coming out of your 3050, consider instead an external drive case for $15 so you can keep using the old M2:<br />https://www.amazon.com/M-2-External-Converter-Adapter-Enclosure/dp/B076DCNZM3<br /> <br />Good luck!atxgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336950186492439062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120770620136258859.post-51529457948938423972020-07-21T19:11:51.230-05:002020-07-21T19:11:51.230-05:00Update: My order got cancelled. =(

How do I go about transferring what is on the existing 32GB chip to perform the swap out? Initially, I thought I would have a 2.5inch SSD that I could make the primary but its looking like it may be awhile until I can get my hands on a SATA cable.

Dell was out of stock today, but they expect to have more in 4 days and they set up an alert to email me when they are back in stock.

When installing the 2.5" SSD (WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB), I had to toggle SecureBoot ON in the BIOS settings. I had it off previously for some reason (probably trying to boot to a USB stick or something).

This was a life saver. I upgraded the m.2 drive to 128 GB, but that hasn't been very much room overall. I had looked around when I first bought my Inspiron 3050 about this cable, but I guess I gave up too quickly.<br />Anyway, I found you post and read about chatting with Dell about getting the part and I was able to buy two for $1.99/each plus state sales tax. I got two since they said the parts may be refurbished. The parts will have a 90 day warranty, but I'm still skeptical. I expect the order to arrive on the 22nd, so I'll report back with how it goes.<br />Thanks again for your post.m1n3sweeper80https://www.blogger.com/profile/14359729489373985363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120770620136258859.post-11665338733752870752017-10-27T10:10:16.772-05:002017-10-27T10:10:16.772-05:00I am looking to get this cable.

Now, I've got a 3050 I'd like to upgrade with a 128 SSD I have laying around. But I must have a cable that is extremely hard to find! Making parts hard to find seems ludicrous to me. What does Dell gain by making upgrade parts hard to come by? It just makes folks like me mad! Some of the things these companies do is just crazy. I called Dell and the part is unavailable but the rep. said he would be glad to call me when it becomes available. Something is available on ebay but I don't trust it is the correct part. And where do you plug in the interposer cable when you get it? I could use some help (and some antacid)!
