Re: I wanted to know if anybody on here could tell me if the motherboard would support any type of SDD, as a boot drive. I could ask if anybody on here thought it was even WORTH it to put in a boot SSD. yes it would support a 2.5” sata ssd but you may need to remove the existing 3.5 hdd and use a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter.  As far as your pc is concerned, the ssd behaves like a 2.5” (laptop) hdd.  You can do a fresh clean install of Win 10 on it to make it a boot drive. If you intend to keep both the current 3.5 hdd and add an ssd, you can replace the optical drive with a 2.5 laptop optical drive adapter. [IMAGE]   I think it is still worth because investment in a 128gb new ssd is only $20. It boots much faster than hdd.  It would not help boost the gaming application speed though other than loading games faster.
As said in subject, he has Alienware X51 R2, motherboard 0PGRP5, Bios A12 3/20/2017. I think the bios is only that updated because I did so in order to upgrade to windows 10.  I wanted to know if anybody on here could tell me if the motherboard would support any type of SDD, as a boot drive. I can say the service tag in a reply if needed.  I think this was bought April 26th, 2015.  It says his warranty expired on that date in 2016. I guess secondarily, I could ask if anybody on here thought it was even WORTH it to put in a boot SSD?
X51 R2, motherboard 0PGRP5, Bios A12, any type of SSD?
