Alienware 14 ALW14-1250sLV 14-Inch ... This type doesn't have mSATA , you cannot install SSD. You can try another one

You can buy this with SSD already included. This brand has dozens of models in this size of every possible option and I have one like this with SSD.

For the solid state drive I use Samsung 840 EVO 2.5 inch 250 GB.Works wonderful!

120 Gb SSD (Solid State Drive) as main drive with 750 Gb HDD (Hard Disk Drive) as secondary drive

Yes, but you would loose the performance benefits of a SSD on account of the bottleneck of SATA 1.0 interface

It will work as long as you have an empty drive bay to install it in and a vacant SATA connector on your motherboard. You should have both unless you have added another drive in the past. I personally would create recovery disks and install the solid state drive as the main drive with your os installed on it. Your computer will boot faster, programs will open in a quarter of the time they are opening now. The down side is you need to know how to save all your important data and transfer it to your newly installed drive.

The drive would be compatible, but I am not seeing a dramatic increase in performance.

Yes, just be sure you do not install any programs on the drive or they may not run. If you are using the 2nd drive just for data it should be fine.

Hello Pedro, you can install any current SSD size, I would recommend 128 or 256 GB better, thanks.

Yes it will work because it is a SATA drive and your system accepts SATA drives.

I used an mSATA Bullet Proof 4 Solid State Drive 128gb purchased also on Amazon. I run my OS and programs from it while using the conventional drive for storage. Both operate concurrently.

Yes you can. But spend the extra and get SSD drive. It is soooo much faster and does not have a problem with being bounced around.

Yes. It looks like you can put 2 drives in if you want. I suggest an SSD as your boot drive, and this one for storage.

This system comes with a Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB hard drive. Model number ST 1000DM003 that should allow you to retrieve all the relevant information for this drive. FYI - I switched it out with a Crucial M500 240GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive. The response times are night and day difference. It takes less than 10 seconds to cold boot the computer to Windows 8 login with the solid state drive.

I don't have any solid state drives so I can not say 100% sure but if the solid state drive can be used when attached to a SATA 3 or SATA 6 cable I suspect it will work fine. The device is designed to handle SATA drives.

You sure can. I formatted the drive to use it as a Linux installation disk.

Sure. it just a HDD with some free software from WD. No need to install this software or keep it on a HDD ;)

The system memory is soldered to the logic board. It is not user upgrade able. The solid state drive is interchangeable/upgradeable.
