  1. I read that the r1 does not support msata. You can only put a red ssd in and if you would like a hdd, you would have to replace the optical bay for it or run an external hdd. I personally have installed a samsung 840 evo in my m14x r1 with the a08 sata fix bios and the speeds are amazing. I have had no problems with start up, etc that other people reported when they try the sata fix. I also have the original hdd sitting in the optical bay.
  2. Pretty much what Brian said, Alienware's price tag comes with the aesthetics that apparently not much people like for rigs. I still stand by my purchase and I'm sure lots of people who own an Alienware do, but I can tell you upgrades and customizations are becoming less common. I have the m14x R1 and compared to the m14 now, options are much less. If you want something more flexible maybe go with the other.
  3. If you check the A08 + Sata III fix thread, a lot of people give different SSD that they use. Personally I plan on upgrading to the Samsung 840 Evo. They are decently priced since there is a new model (850?), but I think the R1 is to old to be compatible. Please correct me if I am wrong though.
