raymosrunerx Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hello TII purchased my m17x r4 with a 750gb HD. I want to add a second drive, an SSD, and make it the primary one. I have the cage that holds the hard drive (it came with my laptop), but I cannot find a suitable SSD to fit the slot. All the SSDs I've found on Amazon and Newegg don't seem to have this style of port. I've uploaded three pictures to Imgur to show what I meanm17x r4 drive bay - ImgurThe third image shows how the HD fits into the laptop, you basically insert it from the top, and then screw the HD down through the HD cage.If anyone could post links to SSDs that fit this description, I'd greatly appreciate it!Thanks!Raymosrunerx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackgarcia7 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The laptop should have come with an adapter. If it didn't you can contact them about it. Any drive should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalan Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 My m17xr4 should be here by Friday, then I can report if my second drive bay has the adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted December 23, 2012 Founder Share Posted December 23, 2012 It's a port adapter and like @jackgarcia7 said your system should have come with two of them. If not, contact Dell and they will send you one. Any 2.5" drive should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
