    I have purchased an Alienware 17 R5 laptop. I was planning to buy additional SSD to install in my laptop. But I got conflicting information throughout the internet including Dell sale representative. I am completely take aback with this amount of confusion.

    I have bought a laptop with "512GB PCIe M.2 Class 50 SSD + 1TB 7200RPM HDD".

    On checking the Alienware 17 R5 Specification document(Alienware 17 R5 Spec Doc) I confirmed to myself that there are 2 SSD slot, 1 HDD slot and 1 Intel Optane slot. Is this right???

    Please help

    If that's the correct spec pdf for your laptop, then these are the drives it can handle:

    That's 1 x 2.5" SATA drive (the 1TB drive you have), then the 3 x M.2 slots (one of these is your SSD). Of the 3 x M.2 slots, one of those is Optane.
