Hi [NAME] welcome to this free user-to-user Alienware laptop discussion forum.  Support for Alienware Area-51m R2 says there are four NVMe slots having installed the interposer NVMe Sled board, Solid-state drive interposer board.  Having installed Sled board, remember to update your Dell Premium Support warranty build specification.  The Crucial System Advisor tool's database says install up to four 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD in the four Internal slots, SSD-1 to SSD-4.

Folks, I have an Area-51m R2 which came with 1TB M.2 SSD. I want to add two 2TB Samsung 980Pro M.2. Documentation says up to three M.2 SSDs. But when I open up the case I can only see one additional slot (SSD-B). The documentation is fairly bad, no photos, no breakdown of options etc. so I can't even see what I'm missing here! And the Premium support I pay for told me to go away when I asked them what my options were for upgrading storage. Any help appreciated!
