Hi Jason,I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. Yes it is compatible, the mSATA located under the keyboard of the Alienware M17x R1 is the same standard mSATA as our SMS200S3/120G. I have seen in multiple forums that users have successfully upgraded thier mSATAs and even installed there OS on this drive and use a larger HDD in the SATAII bay for other storage. For any further compatibility questions, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

Yes, but you may have problems with configuring the wd black. I eventually return mind for my alienware m17

No it is not. The connectors on those drives are different than laptop arrives.

backwards compatible with Msata II - yes backwards compatible with msata I - most likely not source: http://mydigitalssd.com/msata-ssd.php update: in fact my laptop only handles SATA II and it works great with this msata SSD

No, this takes mSATA and converts it to the 1.8" format used by certain laptops. I needed it for a lenovo T410s which wouldn't take standard 2.5" or mSATA drives.

I'm not sure, however there are videos that would show you how to insert an mSATA SSD to any ASUS laptop and also I believe that most ASUS laptops can be customized.

Yes it is compatible. Make sure you do your research on how to open it up and swap the hard drive. You will have to reformat the system. I could not find how many msata slots the ultrabook has off of the Del website. I would assume only one.

Yes. That motherboard will accept a type 2280 M.2 card, which this drive is.

I dont think so, its not an msata interface, its a mini pcie instead. You can find more info on manufacturer's site.

Yes, it is compatible, although you wouldn't reach this drive's max potential.

I am not sure, maybe check there website. But I have been using this drive for three years in a gaming PC and it works flawlessly.

is that the most information you can give me. do you really think i want to look up your machine. and find out what type drvie it has in it. with that said this is a 1.8 micro sata drive. not to be confused with msata. I had to buy a device to go from micro sata to 2.5 sata which is the standard.

My experience would say yes, what you're asking is certainly possible and that you should also contact Gigabyte and/or provide more info to be sure. In general what you're asking is a common setup. You should check to make sure your mSATA port is SATA 3 also, because I have the feeling it might not be. I'm back because I became curious and did some homework. I foresee no problems and that you'll likely just have to tell it to boot to mSATA in BIOS. It also appears that your mSATA is SATA 2, if that matters to you.

Not this model. It uses a proprietary connector which is compatible only on select Alienware computers.

I have the same model Acer Aspire One (except mine has 2GB ram) running Win 7 Home Prem. I just got the Samsung drive you mentioned and have watched part of a movie and am now burning recovery disks. So far, everything is working fine. The directions for the drive indicate the need to use both usb plugs on the cable provided. I'm doing that. Some reviewers have experience to suggest that such isn't always required. So, in a word, the drive is compatible.

Very unlikely unless you have a SATA to mSATA adapter which can cause data integrity issues
