Go to SolutionAurora R11 HDD question
Hello,
After years of loyal service of my Alienware laptop, I'm interested in switching to a desktop with the Aurora R11. If I read right, it has slots for two 2.5" and one 3.5" drives. So I have two questions:
1. If the slot is not in use, is the caddy still included? (both the 2.5" and 3.5" ones)
2. For the 3.5" slot, can it take a large drive? I wanted to use a 16to one, which are a bit bigger (1.028in/26.11mm in height)
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Well, I just receive my R11, and I only choose 1TB M.2 SSD because I intend to buy the 2.5 SSD and 3.5 HDD myself.
It does come with the caddy to help you fix the SSD and HDD.
And I am currently running my RTX 3080 on one LG27GN950 and one LG27UL550 monitor, both on 4k resolution perfectly, one 144 Hz, and one 60 Hz. If you want a dual monitor, I suggest you go RTX 3080, it is worth the price.
But I am not sure about the HDD capacity, I only intend to buy a 6TB WD Black when the price is good, not sure about the 16TB. But I do see someone in the community share his upgrade for 8TB HDD.

Oh yeah, another question. I want dual monitors, so any gpu setup to avoid or recommend, port-wise?
