Hello everybody,
I have heard this is a fantastic community with in-depth knowledge about Dell products. I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can answer.
1) When my friend's friend unboxed his Alienware Area 51 R2, he got a few extra accessories that I did not get. Windows 10 software/operating disk, graphic card cables(extra internal ones, not vga cable.) and a black plastic stand. Am I suppose to get these accessories as well or do they not package these anymore?
*Note - He got his x51 a few months ago and I just gotten mine a few days ago.

2) Did Dell stop sending mouse pads with x51? I was expecting 2 if not 1 mousepad. The x51 cost close to $7,000.00 and I paid $298 for 2x Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum - Mouse - optical - 11 buttons - wireless, wired - 2.4 GHz - USB wireless receiver.
3) These are my computer specs;

*I quickly copy and pasted these information from my order, sorry about the extra gibberish. My break is almost over and I have to head back to work and manage my store.
3) Something is not adding up in terms of harddrive/storage- i.imgur.com/rzvGheB.png

Am I reading the numbers wrong or is this not how you calculate it?
Any assistance or help would be appreciate. I will definitely call technical support tomorrow. Thank you and have a happy holiday.

Nice config ... congratulations.
Someone from Dell will have to answer about accessories, or you can talk to phone support about it.
As for the disk space on 4tb drives. Yes, that looks about right. 4tb is the raw unformatted space. After formatting with NTFS, 3.63tb looks about right. Yes, I have 4 in a Synology NAS (running RAID-5).
As for the 512gb SSD ... Same thing here ... 463gb formatted is about right. Also, on this drive ... there is likely other partitions other than C:. Maybe ever some slack (un-provisioned) space at the end (used for wear leveling).
