QuestionIs the existing storage a single 512GB SSD M.2 2230? If so, that means that there is only one slot for another M.2 2280? what is the maximum supported storage (GBs/TBs) for the open slot? Is there a third storage option (HDD/SDD)?
Asked 4 years ago by Benjamin.
- Answer You can get the existing storage in 512GB or 1TB, however, there are Two M.2 2230/2280 slots and One M.2 2230 slot; you can also use it in a RAID 0 configuration. The max you can do is 4TB M.2 SSD PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe,

QuestionALIENWARE m15r3 , Can i upgrade ssd nvme samsung 980pro pci 4.0?
Asked 4 years ago by Toanlam.
- Answer Yes you can, and it is fairly simple. But it is a pci 3 slot, so you will not get the full speed of the 980 pro. I personally went with the 970plus, and it works great. Once it is installed goto windows disk manager and format and name the drive.

QuestionDoes this weigh 5.5 Lbs or 4.6? Alienware's website shows 4.6 so I'm not sure why this weighs more. Also, which performs better, the 2070 Super (assuming it's a Max Q variant) or the new Razer base model with the 3060 Max Q? Price is about the same.
Asked 4 years ago by TechEnthusiast.
- Answer 3060 with 115W TDP will run faster than the 2070 super. Also note that this device will use 10th gen Intel vs 11th gen on the new blade. I’d also consider looking at the Zephyrus G15 with 3070 at about the same price.

QuestionHave they ever fixed the horrid overheating problems?
Asked 4 years ago by SomeOldGuy.
- Answer What kind of temps are you getting? Dell likes to act like 100 degrees Celsius is fine lol If I knew they had fixed the cheap thermal paste and the thermal tape not making contact I'd be all over this. But I don't want to pay top dollar and be stuck trying to redo all these things myself to a brand new laptop. Lots of youtube video on the heat problems. Dell still not admitting to this has me concerned. Had they said they had improved the quality control that would be another matter. Offering no improvements and failing to admit the problem has me looking at other laptops.
