Why can't I get an answer to this question?
I have tried asking the same question three different times to no avail, what gives??
I'll try one more time...
I would like to upgrade the 256 GB SSD in my alienware 17 to at least a 512 GB SSD, possibly more. I currently have a 1 TB drive in the primary HDD slot, another 1 TB drive in the secondary HDD slot, and in the third slot is the DVD/Blue drive.
There are no other HDD slots available. I have also checked the Owner's Manual numerous times.
I cannot seem to get anyone to tell me where the SSD is installed in my system. This seems to me to be a fairly straight forward question.
Can someone from please respond to this post???
Sincerely,
Mark

Actually, after looking thru some other posts, I think the SSD is an mSATA drive. So I need to know where the mSATA port is located. I assume this is different than a SATA port.
Thanks,

Hello Mark!
Yes you can replace the optical drive for a third HDD and as well you can change your Msata for a 512 GB one but you have to be careful because they are located under the keyboard.
