Alienware m17 R2 - SSD/RAM - upgrade question


Recommended Posts

I got myself an Alienware X17 R2. In the manual it says you can’t upgrade anything higher than 2TB SSD or 16 RAM. I have got a 2TB SSD, but thought to upgrade with another 4TB Samsung. Also thinking to put in another 16 or 32 Ram module.  Would that be possible?

Yeah that is a load lol as more than a few of us have already come to find out that 4 and 8TB drives work just fine despite what is stated in the manual. Hell I managed to add a 4tb nvme drive to a precision m6800 and that is pretty old these days so you are good to go with that upgrade. The only time where a drive didn't work was due to power consumption more than anything else.
