    Hi, sorry for my bad English grammar
    I’m looking for high capacity internal hdd to upgrade for my lap
    After finished searching internet, there are two option that I interested in.
    1. Seagate FireCuda 2TB
    2. Seagate BarraCuda 5TB

    I still prefer the 5TB for the demanding of my work, but the seller said this is 15mm hard drive and will not compatible with most laptop.
    So in the end, will the Alienware compatible with this 15mm drive ?

    Thanks in advance

    No it is not. Your only option is 4tb 2.5 ssd if you want bigger than 2tb mechanical.
