Question

Hi, I just wanted some recommendations for another drive I could purchase to upgrade my laptop since my 1TB built in drive is already getting full and I have space for one more. Thanks

See page 13 in the online m15 R4 Setup and Specifications.

Read through the online m15 R4 Service Manual which discusses the addition of M.2 2230 SSD and M.2 2280 SSD.

Hi @JellyGoosed welcome to this free user to user Alienware laptop discussion forum. This is not Dell Support.

Please share your expectations based on your user requirements for the Alienware m15 R4 laptop. Is the original storage OS(C:) boot drive specification sufficient, e.g. should it be an M.2 ultrafast 2TB NVMe drive? The OS(C:) boot drive should always have lots of space to create temporary files so that it can perform. The Data drive should have all your personal files. How do you want to upgrade your storage drives?

Hi @crimsom, thanks for your time, I use my m15 to mainly play videogames and thats really about It, my expectations for the drive would be to simply increase my original storage space so I can simply have more games donwloaded and other similar add-ons downloaded and I would expect this new drive to have a similar perfomance to the pre-installed drive
