same motherboard here

Must select one of the following options:
  • 128 GB PCIe-3x4 NVMe Solid State
  • 256 GB PCIe-3x4 NVMe Solid State
  • 512 GB PCIe-3x4 NVMe Solid State
  • 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD (3.5 in)
  • 3 TB 7200 rpm HDD (3.5 in)
  • 256 GB SATA3 TLC Solid State Drive
  • 512 GB SATA3 TLC Solid State Drive
  • 1 TB 7200 rpm RAID 1 (2 x 1 TB HDD)
  • 128 GB SATA3 TLC Solid State Drive + 1 TB 7200 rpm HDD (3.5 in)
  • 256 GB SATA3 TLC Solid State Drive + 2 TB 7200 rpm HDD (3.5 in)
  • 512 GB SATA3 TLC Solid State Drive + 3 TB 7200 rpm HDD (3.5 in)
  • 512 GB SATA3 TLC Solid State Drive + 4 TB (2 x 2 TB) 7200 rpm HDD (3.5 in)

 

for the m2 ssd, it is sometimes recommended the Samsung 960 EVO (not pro version) or Western Digital Blue SN570 NVMe SSDs.
