Whats kind of storage?is it ssd sata or pcie nvme? null

It comes with a 512gb M.2 SSD Sata ( https://us.msi.com/Laptop/GS65-Stealth-Thin-Intel-8th-Gen/Specification ). But it has 2 storage slots. The main SSD slot where the installed drive is, is a dual interface. SSD SATA and PCIe NVMe. The secondary slot is only PCIe NVMe. ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/MSILaptops/comments/8m8fkj/is_it_possible_to_upgrade_the_storage_on_the_gs65/ ) See attached pictures (Not my pictures)

first slot filled at factory can take either types of storage, the second slot is pcie nvme only. I used the samsung 512gb 970 and it works great. A word of caution about installing the second drive, you need to take the entire laptop apart, disconnect all ribbon cables, battery and flip motherboard to install. Check out youtube there's a couple of good video's on it.
