A heatsink cover that adds a second M.2 2280 SSD slot to Alienware M15 R2 and M17 R2 laptops

  • Add a second M.2 2280 SSD to Alienware M15 R2 and M17 R2
  • Dedicated heatsink keeps the added drive cool under load

Compatible Alienware models

This heatsink cover fits the Dell Alienware M15 R2 and M17 R2 series. It is designed for owners of those laptops who want to add a second M.2 2280 solid-state drive. The part replaces the original thermal shield using Dell part numbers 47W2D, 047W2D, CN-047W2D and EDQ51_SSD_2280_THM_BRK.

Installation steps and common issues

Each pack includes one heatsink with its mounting screw. Installation requires opening the laptop chassis to access the second M.2 slot. The cover only supports 2280-length drives, so shorter modules will not fit correctly. Over-tightening the screw can strip the thread or damage the drive PCB.

Check your laptop before ordering

Verify that your unit is an Alienware M15 R2 or M17 R2, as other models use different brackets. Confirm the second M.2 slot is vacant and keyed for 2280 drives. Ensure you have a 2280-length SSD ready, because the heatsink cannot accommodate other form factors.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the heatsink cover is functioning correctly after installing it in my Alienware M15 R2?

After fitting the cover and a 2280 drive, the laptop should recognise the second SSD in BIOS and Windows Disk Management without thermal throttling warnings.

What does the pack contain and what must I source separately?

The pack includes one M.2 SSD heatsink with its mounting screw; you need to supply a 2280 solid-state drive yourself.

Which version should I choose for an Alienware M17 R2?

This single part number 47W2D 047W2D fits both the M15 R2 and M17 R2, so no alternative version is required.
