“This config has 1TB in slot 1, is the 2nd PCIe M.2 slot accessible? Do you first have to remove the graphics card to get to it? And if usable up to how much storage can this drive be?”

There is a second slot. Easy install. I installed a 4 TB SSD.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 2nd M.2 is right there on the motherboard. Take the side of the case off and pop it in. I stuck a 2TB in there.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is easily accessible and nothing needs to be removed except the mounting screw. Not sure on max capacity. I would think anything that conforms to the M.2 standard used would work. I put a 2TB in mine.
