Alienware 15 r3 ssd

Can someone please tell me what 128gb m.2 SATA 6gb/s SSD used in the alienware 15 r3? I bought it on black friday and at the time it didn't have an option for a 128gb, just 256gb and up, and so I went with the 1tb hdd. Now that I see the the power of an ssd (I'm new to the pc master race) I would like to purchase the 128gb ssd used in the 15. Even the dimensions of the ssd needed (80mm, 42mm, ect.) to fit the motherboard would be appreciated.

Hi,

The system has 3 M.2 PCIE ports: 2 in size 2280 that will run at 4x and 1 in size 2242 that runs at 2x.

SSD dimensions: 22mm x 80mm and we use the Samsung PM 951.

Jim-

Consider the largest ssd you can afford.  IF you like to play open world games and keep several on your computer at one ime a 126 GB ssd will fill up very fast :)
