The X51 R1 supports a 3.5 inch, SATA 3, up to 7200RPM HDD. If you want to buy it from a different store, just make sure it matches those specs. You can also call Tech Support and check if replacement HDDs are available for your desktop.
These are the Dell Certified video card upgrades for this model:
Part#
0N3PJ
GeForce GT 545, 1GB
G9H1F
GeForce GTX 555, 1GB
RCDYV
GeForce GT 640, 1GB

GeForce GTX 660Ti, 1.5GB
106DK
Radeon R9 270, 2GB
NOTE: You need the 330W AC adapter to upgrade video cards.
my warranty ran out so i guess i will have to buy a new one myself, im not much of a tech guy so i dont know what kind of hard drive i have, is there a way i can find the exact hard drive i have right now so i can get the same one?
Thank you, this error code confirms that there's a HDD failure.
If the system is in warranty, the replacement HDD can be covered. I recommend you contact Tech Support in your country so you can request the replacement or if you're in the US or Canada, you can send me a private message with your Service Tag and contact information so I can help you.
i looked it up on amazon and found loads of different products, which one should i get?
also i was looking up on how to upgrade the graphics card on an alienware x51 R1 and found lots of different information about which graphics cards can actually fit in my PC, do you know which ones can fit?

Hi!
Are these results from AlienAutopsy? Please also run an ePSA diagnostic to confirm the results.
