SSD replacement
I have an Alienware m17-R4 with the Samsung SSD PM830 mSata and a second Harddrive Hitachi 500GB
The SSD has only 64GB and is running out of space. I want to replace this SSD.
When I'm opening the Notebook, i can't find the SSD. only the HDD placed to the HDD Module 0.
HDD Module 1 is emty.
Any idea where the SSD is covered?!

I have reed this manual, the question is, where is the SDD placed when the harddrive port 0 is occupied from the HDD and the harddrive port 1 is emty?
I can not locate the SDD with 64GB installed.
Thx for your feedback

You need to remove the keyboard and the palmrest assembly. The mSATA SSD is on the left side nearest you as you face the system (there's an SSD marking next to the socket).

No mention of mSATA drives in the manual:
