Ubuntu can't detect hard drives on new Alienware 17 R4 2016 model

Hey, I'm an owner of one of the new Alienware 17 R4's and I'm attempting to dual boot Ubuntu with it and it can't seem to find any of the hard drives on the machine. I know this is possible on linux; there are people on the forums who have working arch linux installations who say all the hardware has drivers in linux. Now I know Arch isn't Ubuntu but I thought I'd ask around for strategies to get these drives detected. It currently can only detect the live USB stick I'm using.

I've taken an LSPCI:
