FAQ
What is the storage capacity of this Dell SSD?
This Dell solid-state drive offers a storage capacity of 512 gigabytes (GB). This provides ample space for installing an operating system, essential applications, and a substantial library of documents, media files, or games, making it a suitable primary drive for many modern computing setups.
What interface does this SSD use, and what are its benefits?
The drive uses a PCI Express NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) 3.0 x4 interface. This interface connects directly to the system's PCIe bus, offering significantly higher data transfer speeds and lower latency compared to older SATA interfaces. This results in faster boot times, quicker application launches, and improved overall system responsiveness.
What is the form factor of this solid-state drive?
This SSD has an M.2 2280 form factor. The '2280' designation indicates its physical dimensions: 22 millimeters wide and 80 millimeters long. This is a standard size for M.2 slots on modern motherboards, ensuring broad compatibility and a straightforward, tool-less installation process in most desktop and notebook systems.
Is this SSD compatible with my Dell Alienware computer?
Yes, this drive is specifically listed as compatible with a wide range of Dell Alienware systems, including the Alienware 13 R3, 15 R2-R4, 17 R3-R5, Area-51 R3-R7, Area-51M, Area-51m R2, Aurora R5-R12, m15, m15 R2-R6, m17, m17 R2-R4, X15 R1, and X17 R1 models.
