    It's configuration dependent.  See the manual:

    Storage

    This section lists the storage options on your Alienware m18 R2.

    Your Alienware m18 R2 supports the following storage configuration:
    • Two M.2 2230 and two M.2 2230/2280 solid-state drive slots, for computers shipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080/4090 graphics card
    • Two M.2 2230/22280 solid-state drive slots, for computers shipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060/4070 graphics card

    The primary drive of your Alienware m18 R2 varies with the storage configuration. The primary drive of your computer is the M.2 2280 drive where the operating system is installed.
