    I have had my Alienware 17 R2 for a few weeks and would like to upgrade the SSD M.2 drive. I ordered it with 256GB + 1TB, but now I wish it was 512GB + 1TB. Does anyone know where I can buy another 256GB m.2 SSD chip??

    The one in my system now is
    LITE-ON L8H-256V2G -11

    Also. Is it just a matter of installing the chip and then using a disk utility to expand the existing disk partition?

    Thanks for any help.
