*OFFICIAL* Alienware 15 R3 Owner's Lounge

i was lookin around last week for this as well , best i came up with was MZVLV512HCJH

 

Can you install either a SATA or PCI-E SSD in the m.2 slots?

I know pcie is faster but I can get a lot more storage for the money with sata.

 

this shows all the slots and info on them

 

no matter what i try i cant seem to get all the options to show up in nvidia control panel.

can someone else on the 15R3 and the GTX1060 please verify if they have more options then this in there nvidia control panel please.

Thanks! It's a high probability that it's a 951, since is was used in earlier iterations. But I've also heard that it's a Toshiba drive, an OEM version of the XG3. I'm still unsure of which one.

 

Unless you have Gsync, or optimus disabled in the bios. that is all you will see in Nvidia control panel because the Intel GPU is driving the display

 

Why dont you wait for 960 series to come up? New EVOs are cheaper and faster than 950/951pro... Just my 2 cents

 

What? I wasn't aware that they were already released! Thanks for the heads up! Look at the 960 Evo's speed, that's just, what?! What are the key differences between the 960 evo and 960 pro, other than their speeds?

 

the m.2 supports nvme in the laptop, if i am not mistaken the evo line of samsung is no nvme its sata.

 

That didn't really say if you could use an m.2 sata in place of the pcie. He specifically stated that he used the same model Dell uses.
