How can i add a Corsair Force MP510 4 TB (M.2) to my Brand new Omen ?

How can i add a Corsair Force MP510 4 TB (M.2) ?? it says that i have 3 M.2/1 PCIe x16/1 PCIe x4 extensions but i cant see them really as they seem to be used already . 

the pciex slot lies just below the cooling fans of the geforce rtx so to add an adapter for the m2 there seems not a good ideea for a gaming pc.

is m2 to sata connector the only chance i have and which connector is recomnded to still support the speed of the ssd ?

thanks for the help

Unless I'm mistaken, I answered you here

well first querstion was for the old 3.5 inch sata disk...one i installed inside one with icybox external...now i want to replace the internal installed 3.5 sata disk with the nvme corsair mp510 ....so not quite same question.

is there an adapter even on the market for a nvme m2 m2280 disk to be connected to the sata cable ?

In the previous answer, you should have the m2 ssd locations !

of memory, you were mistakenly indicated just one  m2 slot
and I told you that there should be two ..

And finally, I didn't know if you had your answer, because nothing validated at the end..

So I don't understand why you want to try an adapter
install an m2 ssd in sata, becomes useless it will not be as fast
you might as well install a sata SSD, you understand?

ok got it ...the problem is i cant visually see an extra space for the m2 ssd  ...i want an additional not a replacment ...maybe its behind the huge graphic card but hp does not provide info on where excactly i could add another nvm ssd...look sorry if i dont get it fast but thats why i ask...

Unless I'm mistaken, if I gave the correct link previously,
the additional M2 slot, is hidden by the graphics card
I don't understand exactly what you mean next!
I'm looking for, and gives back links that could help with this about port m2

while i might be slow ...last time it was about adding an ol school hd...thats why i did not check much the picture provided...now i get it second slot is under the geforce....i will try to remove that tomorow ...i just wonder if adding the ssd under the graphic card planning to install games there only could be a temperatur issue for the graphic card or perfomrance overall ?

[Prométhée]

I don't have the equipment to check
but i guess it's a possibility
Now you have a 2tb m2 ssd originally, is that correct?
additional storage added, I do not know anymore?

Do you need to install so many games at the same time
I have several games installed, but I don't have that much used space.. ?

[39Hudson]

yes 2tb installed and 4tb to add...on my old 5tb i had 4tb games installed...i like to be flexible 🙂

ok let me try this tomorow and i close this if it all works....thanks

lol
No, me, I prefer to go until the end if possible, and then move on to other things
Logically the computer should be designed to work with the m2 like this
If the computer does not already have overheating problems, this may not be a problem!
Sorry, if I was not clear for everything, not easy with the translator, and I'm too bad in English
