Hello! So here is the problem: I have had my Alienware X51 R3 for almost two years now and I've been thinking about upgrading it for a while. I finally decided to do it recently and after a few days of consideration, I decided that the best thing I could do for my computer would be to get an ssd drive alongside my hdd. Then I would install important files like my os and games on the ssd, then keep all of the others on the hdd. However, I have a few questions.
1. I was wondering what types of spare slots the x51 r3 has on it's motherboard, so that I don't end up buying an ssd I can't hook up.
2. I was wondering if it would be possible to use the windows backup feature to sort my files between the drives after reinstalling my os. If not, how else could I do it without messing up anything important like the registry?
3. Can someone please reccomend an ideal ssd drive for me? I've looked around but can't find anything quite right. My limitations are: it can't be more than $200, it has to have at least 500gb of space, and it has to be as small as possible because the x51 has NO extra space in it's case. I would prefer it to be internal but I will be grateful for anything you can find.
Thanks in advance for everyone who listened to me! I'm still very new to this kind of stuff so as much info as you can give will be greatly appreciated.
