In this video we max out the RAM And SSD slots on our new Alienware m18 (r1 or r2) gaming laptop and give it a Fresh Windows 11 install. The M16 is exactly the same internally so this works for both machines.

Intriguing...

@DangNguyen-wi7hc Год назад

it is a monster, Alienware is a real monster and it's value is coming back this year, I wish they will have a better x18

@CenobiteBeldar Год назад

So, if I buy an M18, is it better to max it on Alienware's website or what level of upgrade from them can I go up to to where I can do this? Or should I just buy a stock M18 and get what you have to where I'm higher max than Alienware's most maxed out M18?

Hi, thanks for the video. Is it possible to have the boot drive with OS / programs on a single 2230, then have the two 2280's as independent storage drives? Are there specific types of heatsinks what would be needed for each of these? Totally new to component swapping myself - have previously just gone with what I've ordered from Dell

@santo4249

I have M18 and want to upgrade 2230 slots, so I bought VisionTek 2230 M2 SSD, it has both the side chips...so thinking to use the thermal pad so that it doesn't short the board or any other components, what thermal pad is better ? I do not see any type, I have no info on what tape to buy and use, please suggest on it.

It's a brick without windows 10.

@MahelKhan

I have the M17 so thanks for this video!

Just one silly question: if i simply add a second SSD do i have to go into bios and change from RAID to AHCI/NVME? I have noticed that in my desktop Aurora r13 i have added a second SSD and didn't change anything, but in bios i have default RAID on enabled, even if i see the 2 disks as separate unit, not on raid configuration. Also: changing from RAID to AHCI/NVME will i lost data on my primary ssd?

@rainieraquino3117 Год назад

Great review. I've been looking for a review on how to upgrade the ssd myself. What's the the clearance to add a heat sink for nvme? Any recommended heat sink?

@tonyss2416

Do they still have dual rank for 64gb kit only? and 32gb(16x2) is single rank but at 5600 as you mentioned? If that is the case I believe dual rank will outperform regardless of 400mhz difference.

So glad there's still someone out there covering the laptops types I actually like. Great content. Thanks for all the useful information for us, the users

@doublersides

For those that were not sure about which M16 have the 4 SSD slots, see the following:

Awesome upgrades. I have always tried to do "MAX" upgrades for all of the computers in our house. After I did a max upgrade on my moms laptop a couple years ago ; it was like a brand new machine.

@LuizValenz

I got my M16 on sale 2199.00, I have bought already a Fury RAM 32 GB 5600 mhz after watching your video, omg improving 25 fps is so a good upgrade. thanks for your nice work !!!

Hi Dave, thanks for going to all the trouble you have to make a tuition video and posting, it's very much appreciated. One thing I've recently seen is someone saying is instead of having 2*2230 drives, you can remove the fan and install 2*2280 drives.

@omarcortes5754 Год назад

It is great to have this upgrade options in a laptop.

Great review of last couple videos of m18 and this one. Thanks to you, I too ordered the 16gb ram and 512ssd for my m18 as it is completely upgradable and much more cheaper. Thanks and would love more videos on m18.
