You are looking for a 2.5" drive and you do not have the ability to have that form. What you want is an M.2 SSD as your system can hold 2 M.2 NVMe/PCIe SSDs. You can see the service manual here for more information. And look here for compatible drives. And do not buy the SATA SSD as the NVME drive is about 5 x faster.

Hey bro, I just had an M17 R2 with an ssd 512 GB. I also have a ssd nvme 500GB too, i will install this to my Laptop. But I hear someone said that the new M17 R2 may have only one slot ssd nvme. Is that true, how can i know exactly there are 2 or 1 slot if i dont remove the back.
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

Are you saying that we cannot swap out the 2.5" HDD for a 2.5" SSD?

Thanks!

Well yes, there is no 2.5" SSD or HDD - They are M.2 drives. There are two slots for M.2 drives in the m17 R2. These M.2s are faster anyways, so that's good.

Um hi

I have a question here 

I’m new to computer and I was thinking to add a sad to the laptop cause my friend told me there’s an empty slot for it on the m17 r2 I got last year and I was thinking to use the Samsung 970 evo plus 2tb can I ask if it works on it 

I’m not sure if it works and I’m scared so I was researching all online but I’m still not really sure if it works there’s people saying the Samsung ssds will have problem working on Alienware laptops but I really don’t understand what they’re saying 

Can I ask if the Samsung works on my laptop and is there anything I should be aware of.

  Thanks

It should work,

just update the bios.
