I see. Even if you had an unlocked BIOS it wouldnt boot?

Yeah the adpater is working good for me thus far since ive had it. My machine hasnt had a power drain but I have a P4000 so idk if its just because of that. I do have another question regarding the adapter though. I recently bought an M18x R1 for like 85$. Like MAD cheap. Just got it today and while its got some cosmetic damage, it runs pretty good. I outright refuse to use the default HDD cable they give you to use since ive had nothing but problems using that setup with that crappy cable with that crap port on the R2 (Only using it temporary as to see if the machine ran) and the R1 is basically the same format but smaller. I want to use this adapter for this R1 as well. Will it work for an R1?

Does an m11x R3 with a i7-2657m actually exist? I've seen speculation/rumors from old articles but have never seem to find at least an old listing of one that was sold. If they do exist, would it be worth it to wait for that specific mobo to appear or just get a i7-2637m? or a i7-2617m? Because i've seen listings of those mobos. Unless theres something better than the i7-2657m? I have an m11x R1 and looking to replace it with a better mobo as a hobby.

Hello all. I've been reading thru this and was wondering what are more pros and cons of getting this for my Alienware m18x R2? The adapter? Also was wondering if that veloceraptor adapter is the only one that works for the m18x? Ive seen other kinds of ones on eBay for way cheaper, but I don't know enough about these to know better. I mean I would assume that a Samsung 990 pro would be way better than the 840 evo msata I have in there already.
