Hi all,

Am planning to get the Alienware X15 soon, to take over from my current Alienware 13 R3. Have some questions on this config if anyone here can comment on:

1. Am looking to DIY upgrade the original SSD to a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro (PCIe Gen 4)
2. Am looking to add a 2nd SSD: 4TB Sabrent Rocket (PCIe Gen 4).

- question: Does the X15 support 4TB SSDs? I know it supports 2x 2TB, but I don't know if it supports 2 + 4.
- question 2: I've read some discussion that only SSD Slot 1 support Gen 4 while SSD Slot 2 supports up to Gen 3 only. However, others have said that both slots are Gen 4. Anyone know the definitive answer?

3. CPU - i7 (seems that the i9 version is not available in Malaysia)
4. GPU - RTX3080

Any comments or thoughts that I should keep in mind before I pull the trigger?

While waiting for other expert sifu providing answer
For 3. CPU - i7
You can select i9 CPU after select RTX3080 and 32GB ram, the i9 option will pop up
