Hi [NAME] [NAME] [NAME] [NAME] [NAME] ! This laptop supports NVMe GEN 4 on the first slot while the second slot is GEN 3. Both go up to 32Gbps confirmed by [NAME]-Chris M. 1st Slot = GEN 4, Max Speed 32Gbps, Width X4, Max Storage Size 2TB 2nd slot = GEN 3, Max Speed 32Gbps, Width X4, Max Storage Size 1TBThis is shown in the online m15 R6 Setup and Specifications PDF. It clearly denotes one slot is Gen 3 and one slot is Gen 4 = [IMAGE]
Hi folks, Just got my m15 R6 and it has been great! One little problem with it was SSD compatibility. From some reviews I had the idea at least one of the SSD slots support PCIE 4.0. Though when I tried to install a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, the SSD won't run at slot 1 at all, and run only at PCIE 3.0 at slot 2. More details: Laptop: Alienware m15 R6, 11400H + RTX3060 version SSD: Samsung 980 PRO 2TB, can be recognized in BIOS. When installed in slot 1, constant read/write timeout. When installed in slot2, run only at PCIE 3.0 protocol. Other SSD like the original 2230 Hynix 250GB or my Samsung 980 1TB worked find in slot 1. Thanks!
