“Are you able to add a second 2.5” SATA HDD to run alongside the 512GB Solid State, or is there only one spot for storage and would the SSD need to be upgraded? If possible, where can I find instructions on adding a secondary HDD? Thanks in advance!”

• The 512GB SSD is an NVME drive that is also home to the 32GB optane drive. There is a 2.5” slot that appears occupied at first but it’s a blank shell, there to hold the drive’s cable and keep airflow their same as if there was a drive in place. It’s a standard Sata connection, so any 2.5” work.

• There is no open drive bay in the computer to add add a SATA HDD. The installed drive is an NVMe M.2 SSD. There's only one M.2 slot on the motherboard, so you'd need to remove the existing drive and put in a higher capacity one.
