Thank you!!! This video, along with a couple others, helped me tremendously. I had never done this before and I successfully accomplished installing new ram and ssd!
I own a computer repair shop. I'm frankly quite sick of seeing the things at this point, but shockingly enough my computer repair videos get insane numbers of views compared to everything else I've ever done. I have high-quality stuff that doesn't breach 100 views while I have repair videos well in excess of 10K views. Since the repair videos are pretty low-effort, I figured I'd start making them again.
I can understand. There's an audience for those who want to learn and an audience who just like to watch. I mean I watch videos where they repair game consoles and I have zero interest in doing that myself. It's just like seeing how it works.
You can also use a m.2 ssd, this port is located between the cpu heatsink and the first PCI-e slot. Either option works well, just you won't need to remove the hard drive to do that. There's also a stackable 2.5 option, but you would have to figure out power. Nice video though.
@@rafaelbrlima Sure, but it won't run at 4x Pci-e to my knowledge. It's only 6 g. It's really made for them silly Intel Optane modules.. But I wouldn't waste your money and go strait for an SSD because it works like a charm.
@@rafaelbrlima No. Only way around it is to use a Pci NVMe adapter to install a M.2 NVMe SSD. Use the onboard M.2 SATA SSD slot for a second hard drive
I'm looking to purchase one of these used and want to upgrade the pay. What are my options? Would someone please post the dimensions of the stock PSU? Great video. Thanks for the help.
I'm pretty sure it's just a standard TFX power supply. Dell used proprietary ones in their Vista Micro ATX desktops, but manufacturers switched to standard supplies for mITX cases a long time ago.
@@JodyBruchon Watching the video and looking up other TFX PSUs, I'm seeing that they varie widely in size. Would it be too much to ask you to measure the dimensions? With these at least I can shop by the numbers and find something close. I appreciate your reply.

@@JodyBruchon Obviously i didn't take you as a fool, silly on my part really .. I know it doesn't come with an SSD card, i was asking what was the size you was putting in ..

Jody, could I connnect a Crucial MX500 2TB, SATA 2.5" 7mm in the place of the 2TB HD? (by following your suggestion) I have a Dell Inspiron 3470. Thanks in advance!
Something you left out. Your windows OS is on the HDD that you removed and not the SSD you installed. The great many of people who want to move to a SSD want all of the data and the OS that was on the HDD moving to the SSD, so they need to clone the HDD. Herein the problem lies, there isn't a spare power connector for the SDD to start the cloning operation. Normally you can borrow the SATA and power from the CD drive while doing the cloning and then put it back afterwards. THE ISSUE is the CD power connector and the power connector on the SSD are not compatible. So to undertake the fitting of a SSD you require a SSD AND a power adapter before you start.
I am going to buy this PC, is there any room to install two sata 2.5" ssd into this computer? If there is, how can I deal with the power supply to the ssd if there is only one sata power port? thanks
Get a SATA power connector splitter. I believe I saw an empty SATA port in there, so you'll just need to order one extra SATA cable too. Since you're replacing a 3.5" drive, you can easily make two SSDs fit. Be sure to get a straight-ended (not 90-degree ended) SATA cable and power splitter and you can simply tape the two drives together. I have literally just taped drives into more computers than I care to admit. Sometimes you have to improvise. All-in-one computers in particular are awful for finding a good mount for the 2.5" drives, so I often just leave the 3.5" mount in, tape the SSD down to it, and tape a little baggie with the removed screws/rubber mounts for the desktop drive to it too (in case the customer wants to go back to a 3.5" drive). 2.5-to-3.5 brackets tend to not work very well in several branded computer cases due to a lack of screw holes where you need them.
@@iPhone9925 I don't recall the power situation, but everything inside uses standard connections. I don't think there are any four-pin Molex power connectors at all. At worst you'll need a standard SATA cable and a SATA power splitter.
Yes, it has a laptop-style DVD burner built in which reads and writes CDs and DVDs. It's hard to see in pictures because the faceplate of the drive is a molded plate that matches the front of the case.
It seems that there may be several models within the 3470 number. I don't own the computer, so I can't look, and I don't recall exactly what is in it. If you have a heatsink like in the video, you should have a socketed processor, and the general rule is that Intel socketed desktop CPUs within the Core i-series can generally be swapped with any other CPU of the same numeric generation (i.e. a Core i3-7xxx and a Core i7-7xxx should be compatible), excluding i7 Extreme Edition and i9 chips which both tend to require a totally different physical socket. You'll need to find the TDP for your current CPU and only buy an upgrade that's the same or less TDP. Putting a higher wattage i7 into a system built to only handle a lower TDP i3 could prematurely burn out a voltage regulator or blow some capacitors. You may also need to update the BIOS before putting in the new chip. If you need more help, just let me know. Also, take advantage of the lists online of CPU upgrade options for any given CPU. They can be insanely helpful.
Can I setup a bootable hardware RAID 1 volume out of two SATA drives? H370 chipset can do that, there's a spare SATA port, but is there any RAID menu in BIOS? I need a RAID 1 system and wonder if Vostro 3470 is an option.
I don't recall if RAID is possible to enable in the BIOS, but I don't think so. If you need RAID, this is not the best system to set it up within. Windows can do software RAID-1 through Disk Management for non-system partitions, though.
@@JodyBruchon That's the problem - I don't need a server class solution like Dell PowerEdge (price and performance overkill), just any desktop in SFF case that could do RAID 1. I could build a similar system based on micro-ATX H370 board but not at that price and without Dell warranty... Thanks anyway!
@@PatDabPL I was speaking more about the limited drive bays; I have several RAID systems but they are all either Linux or Windows DM RAID.

If you still need a DVDRW drive then additional SATA power splitter is required. You will also need a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter to mount secondary SSD drive. I've just bought the i3-9100 version with all cables and adapters, so I can report how it's working.
@@PatDabPL Oh yeah, then you'll be perfectly fine. I don't use an adapter for SSDs; I just find somewhere to ram one screw through tightly and it stays put, or I use packing tape (which holds up extremely well). 2.5 to 3.5 adapters often don't have the far screw holes or bottom screw holes required to mount in OEM cases like these, so buy your adapter plate carefully. Also, a technical matter: the RAID is not hardware RAID, it's still software RAID, but the BIOS support enables booting your OS from software RAID which is the key to what you're doing. Hardware RAID is where there's a physical controller card that does the RAID work and presents the drives to the OS as a big virtual drive, but if you boot Linux, you'll discover that the RAID used on all non-server machines (and even some server machines) is provided in drivers only, and outside of a system using those drivers, the individual drives will be visible since it's software-only. It doesn't matter much these days though; processors and RAM are so fast that hardware RAID is really only needed for ultra high-bandwidth storage systems and servers e.g. a huge 10K RPM SAS array.

You can put any PCI Express graphics card in it that will fit in a low-profile case, even if it's a 12 year old card. Depending on the card's age, though, you may be better off using the integrated graphics. Intel's Celeron graphics today beat the pants off of a high-end gaming graphics card from 2010.
the 3471 model has a M-2 SSD motherboard slot but it is SATA and will NOT support newer NVMe technology SSD and we all want SPEED. A pci NVMe adapter does work though.

You can if you want to, but I would strongly suggest that if you're going to replace the motherboard anyway, you should probably just ditch this and get an In Win 671 case+PSU instead. You'll need to shell out a whopping $65 for that, plus $19 for a desktop-sized DVD drive (if you care about that) but it'll keep you from dealing with proprietary connectors and metal in places you probably don't want it to be if you're adding a video card to the mix.

I don't know, but if you look up the specifications on Dell Support, you'll definitely be able to find out. The vast majority of computers today are automatic 110/220 switching.
I did not see one. You could replace the wireless card, but that's going to require a short drive, probably a PCIe drive only, and I don't know that it would be bootable.
If the slots are present for an M.2 SSD and the RAM you want to add then you absolutely can. The problem is that every computer model is different and can have sub-models that may not have those slots physically present to add anything in the first place. You'll have to crack yours open and look at your specific machine's slots.
It would not fit. Those cards are double-slot in the wrong direction. The power supply also doesn't provide any PCIe accessory power connectors and there would probably be some clearance issues behind the card.

Can we add a graphic card
Yes. It must be a low-profile card and it can't require an extra PCIe power connector.
What about m.2 ssd
There is apparently a M.2 slot between the CPU and first PCIe slot, but it's hard to see in the video.

Recently , I power it on and the following was experienced :

2 - able to log on successfully too
3 - Once at the Home Screen … their is a screen glitch that happens every 10-12 seconds
4- while the (3) is happening … I CANT OPEN any programs at all or even go to the START menu ….
5 - However I am able to access Task Manager .
6- When I double click SETTINGS icon
It prompted explorer.exe …. “Class not registered”
Any help would be appreciated
