15 R2, maximum support SSD size?

Question

Hi, I own a Alienware 15R2 laptop. I'm quickly running out of space on SSD.

So I wanted to inquire what is maximum support SSD size for NVMe PCIe M.2 slot?

I read somewhere only 1 TB is supported per M.2 slot, but source was not reliable.

So just wanted to confirm if 2TB SSD will work? Or only 1 TB will work?

Per the Crucial product page here, and they are an extremely reputable source, you can install an SSD up to and including 4TB in size.

Hi @Ninad1388 , What @JOcean said was correct and you can install up to 4 M.2's because its placed underneath the HDD slot.
