x14 R1, SSD replacement

Hello,

I am considering replacing the SSD in my Alienware X14 with the

1. SAMSUNG SSD 2 TB 980 PRO PCle 4.0 NVMe M.2 (MZ-V8P2T0BW) (https://www.mediamarkt.be/nl/product/_samsung-interne-ssd-schijf-2-tb-980-pro-pcle-4-0-nvme-m-2-mz-v8p2t0bw-1939029.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+NB.+-+BENL+-+IT&utm_term=&utm_content=1939029&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA0syqBhBxEiwAeNx9N3BaTh0LtS_H-pa-qsEtt0b-H8dqdrPzEwXGEmtbkpvfiosSIvQRghoC9CcQAvD_BwE).

2. Samsung SSD 2 TB (M.2) - 990 Pro (https://www.krefel.be/nl/p/TO136454-interne-ssd-2-tb-m-2-990-pro?at_medium=sl&at_campaign=[KE]_NL_PMAX_Accessoires&at_platform=google&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA0syqBhBxEiwAeNx9N486-MjLvUG79HuO2O6sCesfVXqGlcJR6TP5Rox9sfNdYRwd9yOiBBoCa38QAvD_BwE).

I would like to know if it is possible to change the SSD. I've had a previous experience replacing a Dell SSD, but it wasn't compatible, and the M.2 SSD slot got damaged and became unusable. Additionally, the Alienware X14 has only one SSD slot, so if it gets damaged, I might have to replace the entire motherboard. That's why I am seeking clarification before proceeding.

I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response. Thank you.
