    Looks like pm951 is the default "compatible" drive.

    Yes, it's PM951. Just wanted to give extra confirmation.
    Also, if you get the 128 GB SSD (and I'll be asking why), that's a CM871.

    Nah I have a 950 pro in mine and stupidly sold the stock 512 that came in it. I couldn't remember the model that dell used. So I ordered another pm951 so I can yank out the 950 pro and put it to better use. Especially since the 950 pro just doesn't work in this machine.
