Just replaced the HDD in my Alienware M15x with a 256 GB Crucial C300.
If you’re interested the “physical” part of the upgrade took less than 20 minutes. There was a brief moment of panic when I discovered that the pins on the old drive were different to the new drive, however what looked like part of the old drive was actually a little adapter that could be fitted to the C300. Photos will explain better than I can.
I also took a photo of the Alienware’s internals if anyone is interested. Dual exhaust fans an heating pipes probably explains why it weighs so much 
I’m also using this post as a test for Live Writer 2011. Seems pretty good so far.
Visual Studio 2010 is downloading…
