    I ran a couple searches and I couldn't find the thread where there was a discussion on where to buy a 256 GB samsung SSD.

    Can someone please post the link and or enlighten me on this situation? I'm looking to get one to add to my computer.

    Thanks!

    You would have to get it from Dell / Alienware because Samsung is not making them available for retail at this time, unfortunately.

    That is the price if you buy them at the time of the system. I can't find them for that cheap on Dell site, buying them after system?
