• Alienware 17 R2 SSD upgrade

  Hey all,.

  So I understand that my willing R2 of 4 bays m2 and a single 2.5 I can use to upgrade with. I was wondering if I could use PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 PCIe interface SSD to fill 4 m2 berries I have available. For example, I was interested in getting this (Toshiba OCZ RD400 m2 512GB 3.0 PCI-Express x 4 MLC) but I'm stumbled upon a thread who says computers laptops Alienware 17 may only use SATA interfaces... If this is true, could work with any SATA SSD interface, as I can use the SATA 3?

  If not, are there any other recommendations to decent SSD I could get that would fit in my laptop? Thank you in advance!

  SATA interface means that it has limited to SATA 3 speeds. This means that a 2.0 and 3.0 will have the same limit based on the port speed. In addition, 4 slots, only 2 can be used.

• Alienware 15 R2 SSD

  I recently bought Alienware 15 R2. I've already replaced Hitachi 7200 RPM HARD drive on port SATA-3 with Samsung 850 EVO 1 TB SSD and performance is very good. Now I need to upgrade 250 GB SSD Toshiba SSD because she is not to score with IOPS / s writing very low the next Samsung 960 2 TB (EVO or Pro). I know he can. But my question is can I keep my Toshiba SSD also as boot drive while making new 960 2 TB of hard drive as boot drive. There are 2 slots for NVME SSD of the form M2 on R2 of Alienware.

  On my previous Alienware 14 (version 2013) I had kept boot with OS disk 64 GB my removing of the Raid array, replacing the hard drive 7200 RPM SATA - 3 with Samsung 850 Evo 1 TB that had the program folder files and put on 7200 RPM disk HARD interface of withSATA-2 DVD player by removing the DVD which is not relevant in today's world of readers of the pen , for the 18 months wih past excellent performance...

  Hello

  It's totally doable. There are two slots, and all you have to do is to install a new, change the boot order and install Windows on the new drive. Then, you can format the old SSD and use it as a storage device.

• (Redirected) INTERPOSER missing Alienware 17 2nd hdd slot

  Hello, I have an Alienware 17 I bought last summer. What I've read the secondary hard drive slot was to have all the necessary things for adding a 2nd hard drive. It has the caddy (casing), extra screws, and the sata slot upwards, but doesn't have the leap card that is used to connect the drive to the sata port. I saw a YT video where someone with the same configuration as me (750 GB hd + 64 GB ssd caching hd) had the caddy, inserter, AND all that he saw.

  Is there anyway to get a bumper card sent me Dell because he had a part that should have been included in a whole new system?

• ENVY 15-K202NT: SSD Slot m2

  Hi all

  I read a lot of resources on this forum about M.2 SSD abot slot and I have a few questions.

  First of all, I want to replace this SSD with a capacity of higer and install the operating system to this ssd without removing the HARD drive. I mention this because someone said to remove the HARD disk to boot from m2 due to the limitations of the BIOS but another says you can fix with the settings. My first question is this possible?

  My second question is if replace SSD HARD drive without removing M.2 SSD will it become a problem later? Due to the older SSD has short life of reading / writing and cache ssd made these operations every time as a primary hard drive and maybe HP used an older technology on the SSD m2.

  And the last question is if I delete complately m2 SSD can I boot from 2.5 HARD drive with no problems?

  Thank you very much.

  Yes, you have a hybrid drive. The 8 GB NAND is built into the hard drive. I do not believe that your model with the screen 15-inch has a slot m2, only versions of 17 inches. So if you want an SSD there should be only a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

• Elitbook 840 G1: HP Elitbook 840 g1 - M.2 SSD slot

  Hello!

  As you can see from the image below, I am after a compatible disc SSD m2 (ideally 256Go). I selected in red the single 'hole' in the connector as the largest part of the SSD M2 card I see online have two "holes".

  Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Hello

  Please see the next (page 36):

  But it looks like it is designed to support the Intel SRT (unless your machine has been built by the end of 2013). Please check the following discussions: many people also try):

• HP Pavilion 15-ak112nl Gaming: is there a m2 of ssd slot in the HP Pavilion 15-ak112nl Gaming?

  Is there a slot m2 of ssd in HP Pavilion 15-ak112nl Gaming?

  Thank you

  The manual indicates a:

  Manual

  See p. 45. But we have reports that if you open the laptop, there is indeed no crack m2 and also in some cases that the m2 port, if there is one, is disabled. At the moment I can't in good conscience advise anyone to try the upgrade. If you are an experienced technician and just lucky to have a disk of 2280 m2 WSSD sitting around, it might be an interesting exercise, but I wouldn't have someone to invest in such propulsion for this laptop model right now. Your best bet is a 2.5 inch SATA SSD.

• (Redirected) Update in Alienware 15 to SSD HARD drive

  Hi all

  I recently bought an SSD and want to install it in my alienare 15.  I've noticed a great video tutorial on youtube, so I need to know how to do it physically.

  On the contrary, I want to know the best way to get a fresh install of windows on it?  I currently have alien respawn on a USB key, but I think it's just for the recovery, correct?

  Dell or Alienware is there any utility that I can use to put on a USB key to install fresh windows 8.1 which also includes factory Alienware settings/software?

  I can't find the answer anywhere.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• HP Pavilion 17-e019dx have a second hd for one SSD slot?

  I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are in any case to keep the 750 GB HD-5400 RPM notebook is came up with, while adding / upgrading to an SSD of 256. It is not profitable to buy one of the WD Black HD (1 TB + 128 GB SSD) when I could just use the extra I spend on the WED to get a bigger "badder,' SSD drive and get an eclosure for the current 750 GB HD)

  I already have a corresponding 4 GB Chip to bring the total RAM 8 GB, and it's only another development that will make a significant improvement on performance... unless he has other suggestions?

  (I know, I know, I should have looked when I installed memory, but this Panel back don't NOT only 'pop' off easy, and I don't want to take the risk of braking it when there are these well informed and helpful people here!)

  Thank you in advance!

  Your laptop is a type of single player. There is no current empty HDD Bay.
