Yes there are add-in cards that support a single NVMe drive.
However, it is sometimes hit and miss with the Alienware systems on how reliable the system sees the drive. Needs a spare PCI-e slot x4 or higher slot.
If you have USB 3.0 or higher interface available they also make these cards to directly plug into a USB socket, identical to a USB flash drive. They are slower, so the preferred method is the adaptor card above.

Something like this M.2 NVMe PCIe adapter will work in an X4 PCIe slot.
