I'm looking to add another SSD. I'm thinking of the Samsung 980 Pro 500GB PCIe NVMe 4.0 M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V8P500B). But I'm looking for other options and I don't even know if it's compatible?

Dear all, I have the following issue: I have an Alienware 17 R1 with DVD rom. Now I would like to replace the dvd rom by a hard drive/ssd. Only, how can I fit it into the optical drive bay?   As I understand, I will have to get a so-called caddy - only which one exactly? I have already got one

According to the spec sheet for the Alienware m17 R2, the two M.2 slots have different interfaces. One is PCIe Gen3 0x4 NVMe (up to 32 Gbps) and the other is SATA AHCI (up to 6 Gbps).

Hey all, I've got an old beefy M17x R4 that I hadn't used in a few years but just started to again recently.  When I hit the power button, it starts beeping.  I have to hold the power button down to force it off, then press it again to power on--then it boots up and runs perfectly.  Any idea what's

How can I overlock my m16 R1? On my device the overlocking feature on BIOS is grayed out. specs : i9 13900HX / RTX 4080 This is the screenshot of my m16 R1 = ------------------ This is the screenshot of someone else who also uses m16 R1. He has overlocking feature enable =

My m16 R1 laptop makes electronic noise when it's charging and I'm pretty sure it's not the noise coming out of the speakers.

Hello All, Another question for all you Alienware aficionados.. since this is my first one, I have lots of questions. I recently got a M17x R3 in surprisingly good condition, so far it has just needed a battery (and I hope) cpu/gpu fans. Other than that everything is working great. It came with t

Hi I have an older 17 R4-4K laptop. I neen to get some basic ribbon lock caps for a few of the ribbon connectors.  I am a bit concerned if I buy a used (17 R4-2K, 17 R3, 15 R4, etc) instead.... that the internel parts would be too different, thereby spending hundreds of dollars on "useless par
