What M.2 Socket does the Samsung M.2 850 EVO 250 GB SSD use?

The mobo I would use has a 2280-socket. I can't find any specs from any site if the SSD has a 2280-socket. From what I've read about M.2-sockets it SHOULD be a M.2 B-key (which should be equivalent to 2280), but I'm not sure. (according to this chart: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/02/understanding-m-2-the-interface-that-will-speed-up-your-next-ssd/)

The 850 Evo is a SATA 2280 B/M-Key M.2 SSM.

according to that site it's a B and/or M keyed one. so yes that SSD should fit (provided it is short enough to fit in the Brix).

At least when looking at the images of the brix and the placement of the M.2 socket it should fit as the SSD is 8 cm tall.
