Hi, my so wishes to swap out his mechanical 2.5” drive in his Alienware 15R3 for a SSD drive and we figured that installing a M.2 SSD and swapping boot drives first was the way to go. There is a lot written about problems with the Samsung EVO range so we don’t wish to encounter problems. Alienware 15 R3 in-depth review Alienware is back with the latest and craziest 15-inch gaming laptop - the Alienware 15 R3. It sports all the hardware you'd expect from a high-end gaming laptop and even surprises with exceptional performance for a 15-inch machine. Alienware 15 R3 - Specs CPU Intel Core i7-7820HK (@ 3.8GHz) 22 Intel Core i7-7820HK 44 Intel Core i7-7700HQ 46 Intel Core i7-6820HK (@ 4 GHz) 198 Intel Core i7-6820HK 326 Intel Core i7-6700HQ 266 Intel Core i5-7300HQ 28 Intel Core i5-6300HQ 276.
Loosen five screws that securing the bottom cover to the laptop.
And then insert a guitar pick to pry up the bottom cover. Slide the pick along the edge of the bottom cover until the cover is taken off.
After the bottom cover removed, you can get access to the RAM module, an SSD and a wireless card.
The laptop has two RAM slots and comes with an 8GB DDR4-2133MHz RAM, so I will add another 8GB DDR4-2133MHz RAM.
The laptop also has a spare M.2 slot. I will add an Intel 600p 512G SSD on this slot.
Here’s my new RAM – SK Hynix 8GB DDR4 RAM.
The Alienware 13 R3 comes with a Toshiba 256GB PCIe SSD. Dell P/N: 08D5HT, we also found this SSD on Alienware 15 R3.
What are the specs of the model shown? I am considering the Kaby Lake 7700HQ / GTX 1060 model (introduced Jan. 2017) and would like to upgrade the ram /ssd after purchase. Thanks!
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.
You can also contribute to our list by commenting below, including your exact laptop model, the type of M.2 slot (SATA / PCIe x4), the size (2280, 2260 or 2242), the key (B or M), and the SSD model. Also, you can send the Teardown of the laptop via [email protected].
