How many hard drive bays are in the New 15 Laptop
Recently ordered a new Alienware 15 laptop. I dont have it yet so I am asking this in advance since I am looking for some new samsung SSD'd to put in it.
I have a question, how many HDD bays does it have?
I know there is currently 1 sata connection as well as Sata M.2
Is there room for a 2nd normal sized laptop drive?
As in could I fit 2 normal laptop drives in there if I did not want to purchase an M.2?
I remember older alienware 15's you could remove the dvd drive and buy a chassis from ebay to fit another SSD/HDD however the new ones don't include an optical drive. From the pictures I dont even see a slot for an optical drive.

Hey Jibsterr,
Looking at the service manual there is no optical drive (DVD) and no room for a second laptop HDD. Looks like your only options are to add some M.2 SSDs and/or a larger HDD in the current modules.
Hop this helps!

The Alienware 15 has:
1 - 2.5inch HDD1- M.2 SD port
And as you stated, there isn't a DVD Drive for the Alienware 15.
