Hi @Bous00711 welcome to this free user to user Alienware laptop discussion forum. This is not Dell Support.

and Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | alienware | alienware notebooks | M17xR4 | Crucial.com says install 2.5-inch internal SSD • SATA 6.0Gb/s • 560 MB/s Read, 510 MB/s Write.
A few months ago the Crucial MX500 4TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal SSD was installed in my old ASUS laptop as the OS(C:) boot drive, and its performance is now exceptional.

You need a 2.5" SATA SSD. While the system does have an mSATA port, these drives are obsolete and will be far more expensive (not to mention slower) than a standard 2.5" SATA SSD.
