Hi

I prefer Samsung to other brands but I'm pretty sure it is compatible. 

Have you used both slots for NVMe in your laptop yet? I suggest that you should use them first. It's better to  have the second M.2 than SSD SATA.

What brand is your NVme?

There are three disks in my Area-51m: M.2 NVMe 970 Pro 1TB, M.2 NVMe 970 EVO 2TB and SSD SATA 860EVO 2TB. In that case there is Samsung Magician installed for controlling all disks only instead two o three software for different brand of disks.

How did you get the 970 to work inside your alienware area 51m? when i try, it gives me  "Samsung NVM express device not connected...."!!!!
