My old Alienware x51 r1 recently went to PC heaven, rest her soul, after a good long run. As it was breaking down, I thought it might be the hard drive so I tried to replace it with a 250gb Samsung evo 850 SSD. There were issues with more components than just the hdd though, and the pc died.
So now I have ordered a new Alienware aurora r6, but chose the stock option of a 1TB hdd drive, assuming I could just use the ssd I bought for the old pc. But now, after hearing about how much faster m.2 PCIe ssds are, I'd rather have one of those. I have a 4tb external hard drive, so memory space really isn't an issue.
After doing some research, I really want an m.2 ssd. So my question is, would there be any point in having that combination of hard drives all in my pc. Also, I'm confused over exactly what SATA is referring to. I thought SATA was primarily used with SSDs like the Samsung I bought, but I keep seeing something about m.2 ssd satas as well. Can anyone help shed some light on this for me?
