Alienware Aurora R6 and I am looking to replace the SSD being used for my C:Drive /  OS. 1. It's the 238GB PM981 NVMe Samsung 256GB (RAID (SSD)) that came with the desktop when I bought it. It has about 50gb left on it and I wanted to upgrade before it got full. 2. Is the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA 2.5" Internal SSD (MZ-77E1T0B/AM) a compatible SSD I can use for that purpose? Or should I be looking for something else?   1. This is the 256gb OEM version of their retail-version of this drive. This is what you want (the 1tb version of what you have now). It is NVMe-based and very fast. 2. This drive is compatible with the Aurora-R6. However, it is SATA-based, so it is about 5-times slower than your current NVMe 256gb SSD. It's also basically the same price. I would NOT use it for a C-Drive (where your Windows and all main programs and apps reside) , but it would make a good D-Drive SSD (secondary-drive used for storage, videos, music, etc.)
Hi all, probably an easy question for you. I own an Alienware Aurora R6 and I am looking to replace the SSD being used for my C:Drive /  OS. It's the 238GB PM981 NVMe Samsung 256GB (RAID (SSD)) that came with the desktop when I bought it. It has about 50gb left on it and I wanted to upgrade before it got full. Is the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA 2.5" Internal SSD (MZ-77E1T0B/AM) a compatible SSD I can use for that purpose? Or should I be looking for something else? This is the first time I have ever wanted to replace hardware in a desktop (I owned a series of laptops for years prior to this and so never really had the cause), so please bear with me. Thank you!
