So if i want a new SSD all I need is just the OS in it? How bout the other essential programs? Like alienware command center? Will it still work without it?
If my OS is installed on my M2 SSD, and I want to add an additional HDD, or SSD, will I have to install something on that new additional hard drive beforehand, or can I just put it in and everything will be alright? Would appreciate a quick response :)
What is the latest and best CPU you can upgrade the alpha r2 mine has a i7-6700T in it and i just bought a rtx 2800 gpu to use with the amplifier thought it would be good to go ahead and upgrade the CPU but i cant find any information about this... Can someone help me please and thank you.

ive purchased the dual drive model with ssd and hardrive, can I also take out the hardrive and replace that with my 2.5 ssd I got laying around, so I have 2 ssd drives in the unit
I want to put a new 1 terabyte hard drive in my Alienware alpha r2 but I don't know which one to get. Does the Alienware alpha r2 store all of my files from the 500gb drive I want to replace and transfers the data to the new 1 terabyte HDD or I have to figure out how to transfer all of my games and files to the 1 terabyte HDD. Im not too computer savvy so I really need your expertise on this matter.
So do I get a desktop Hard drive? or do I get something else. Can you tell me the specs of a 7200 sata 3.0 transfer rate 6gbps. these specs are just information that I do not understand. I don't know if im asking too much but im hoping you can send me a link to a hard drive page or store. im not tryin to spend over 100$ I just want a hard drive to have more storage than the standard 500gb that came with the console, or if you can just tell me if its a desktop hard drive or something else thank you.
Alienware Services are there any other hard drives that can work with the Alienware alpha r2? I just got off the phone with a Alienware rep and he could not find the part #'s .
Alienware Services I need a Hard Drive that I can use internally to switch out the 500 gb to 1 or 2 Terabyte. I've been searching all day and looked at many hard drives. My problem is I have no idea what im looking at. I Know SSD is really expensive for 1 TB or maybe not , if so then I will purchase a HDD 1 or 2 tb. My question is what do I look for? Do I look for a third party store that sells desktop hard drives? Is any desktop hard drive compatible? What HDD Hard drive platform and or the brand name to look for? Thank you for your help.
Hi I have a alpha r2 and need to swap out the hard drive which I have a ssd. I know how to swap it out but don't know how to move the operating system to it as there is no alien respawn please help
Cheers for the reply not to great with computers but where or how would I do that. Is there an option to back up windows ten to a USB stick just want to make sure I don't mess this up. Thank you for the link too
hello there i have alienware alpha i5 one according to your website it claims that it supports 1GB ethernet and when I plugin a 1GB ethernet cable the computer says 100mb and i did speed test it says 100MB , is there anyway to fix this?
It's most likely 1 one gigabit Ethernet cable, which is 128 megabytes, (however generally in the cases of these speed testing websites, they display speeds in megabytes, not megabits) so roughly... 1 gigabit = 1000 megabits = 128 megabytes
Hi! I'm Nebula, I just recently tweeted you guys a question about my Alienware alpha R2. So when I bought my Alpha R2 I discovered that there was no hard drive in my system. Currently I'm running the PC with an only ssd instead of a hard drive AND an ssd. Anyways I just wanted to ask if this is normal and if not then I could buy a hard drive and install it into my alpha along with my already installed ssd. Thank you!
Thinking of buying the following hdd
WD Black 1TB 7200RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" 9.5mm
Will this drive fit in an alpha r2?
Do i have to re-install the Oparating Sistem???
I know there is an m2 pcie drive slot in there, so is it possible to both have a hard drive and pcie drive. I seen another TH-cam reviewer do it.

Thank you, i'll be making my purchase now ;)

so they DON'T take 3.5?
Is there a size limit to the thickness of the 2.5 drive?
if you buy the i3 alpha could you replace the cpu with a better one like the i5 or i7?
FiveJr yes
