I am looking for a high speed M.2 SSD for the new Alienware 17 R4. Any suggestions?

...as commented: I am looking for top speed but 240GB M.2 SSD. It will be for the OS.

I've always had a good experienced with Kingston, and I was thinking to buy the following SSD:

  • HyperX Predator PCIe Gen2 x4 (M.2) Internal SSD - 240 GB (SHPM2280P2/240G)

Do you know if it is compatible with the Alienware 17 R4?

Would you have any other SSD suggestions?

Thanks

Samsung SM961 256gb.

This is what I have on my AW17 R3.

Thanks IonNeculce

Base on the following:

HyperX Predator: 1400MB/s read and 1000MB/s write

Samsung 950 pro: 2500MB/s read and 1500MB/s write

I would possibly go for the Samsung...

As additional information, I've received the following answer by Alienware Support:

"HyperX Predator is not an officially supported SSD, but, as per specs, it should work just fine"
