Alienware 15 R3 Late 2016 M2 SSD Question

Just trying to figure out what is supported in the second full size M2 bay.  

From what i gather it is a 4 lane PCIe M2 2280 form factor.  I assume it supports NVMe correct?

Would either the samsung 850pro or the samsung 960 evo/pro work with this laptop?
