Aurora R6, cannot locate 1 TB HDD to replace
I want to replace the 1 TB HDD but I can't find it. I've seen online tutorials about 3.5 inch HDD installations/removals and they all deal with the main compartment that is clearly visible right when you open up the case. That is not what I'm talking about (in fact, that was empty when I got the computer and I have since installed a separate 3.5 inch HDD that I purchased separately). I am looking for the 1 TB HDD that came pre-installed when I purchased the PC (and is definitely there as Windows sees it). I cannot locate it. All I see is two 2.5 inch slots for SSD's and one 3.5 inch slot for an HDD. Thank you in advance.
Here is the exact computer in case it's helpful: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dell-Alienware-Aurora-R6-AWAUR6-7688SLV-PUS-16GB-DDR4-Core-i7-7700-GTX-10...

Speedstep's images were incorrect for the Aurora M6. I have one of these myself and the C drive is actually located on the motherboard in the lower left corner. It's about the size of a memory strip and is a M.2 SSD drive format - so it is not like any of the other drives in most other PCs. There is a video of youtube where a guy is upgrading his boot drive, and it shows a clear location. Search on "M.2 SSD drive install in Alienware Aurora R6" or see the video directly at https://youtu.be/8GwZjQ9C2fs
