Alienware 15r4 Ssd Slots

When you're downloading lots of games to your Alienware 17, you can fill up your storage space very quickly.The gaming notebook uses both an NVMe M.2 SSD and a traditional HDD, and both can be. Why do the older Alienware Laptops have more slots for NVMe cards? (my older one has 4 x 2280 slots) My newer laptop (R4) has 2 x 2280 slots and 1 x 2242, and it looks like the R5 has the same? I have zero use for that 2242 slot. Really wish I could put 4x2280 cards in a new R5 laptop. Is the size limit for NVMe really only 1TB cards?

• I have an out-of-warranty Alienware 15 R4, so I think it's fine for me to open it up and share what the SSD internal slots look like. As you can see, SSD-SLOT-1 is for M.2 2242, or the half-sized SSD stick. Half sized slot supports PCIe/SATA? SSD-SLOT-2 is the PCIe SSD only slot. I'm assuming that's where the M.2 NVMe SSD sticks go into.

The M.2 port is originally called NGFF port. It is a new-generation port standard which is specially designed for the laptop to supersede the mSATA port. The M.2 port is much better than mSATA with either regard to its smaller size or higher transferring performance.

M.2, as a new port standard that Intel has launched to replace mSATA, is also called NGFF – Next Generation Form Factor that we always mentioned in the past. As a matter of fact, for desktop users, the SATA port can meet most of their demands. But considering to satisfying Ultrabook user’s requirement on storage, Intel desperately has released this new port standard. Although we see this new M.2 port on the new 9 series motherboards launched by Asus, Gigabyte and MSI, this new port means little to the desktop computer. M.2 port’s real meaning can only be reflected on Ultrabook that Intel mainly intends to launch.

Compared with mSATA SSD, M.2 SSD has the speed advantages. The M.2 port has two types: Socket 2 and Socket 3. The Socket 2 supports SATA and PCI-E x 2 port standard, But if adopting PCI-E x 2 port standard, its read speed can reach up to 700MB/s while its write speed can reach 550MB/s. Socket 3 can support PCI-E x 4 port, and its theoretical bandwidth can reach 4GB/s.

M.2 SSD’s length is currently available in 30mm (2230), 42mm (2242), 60mm (2260), 80mm (2280), and 110mm (2210) form factors to accommodate assorted motherboard designs.

M.2 SSD has three different types of “keys”, they are respectively is B, M and B&M.
