How many expansion slots do I have?

[Elephento]

Hi, am trying to find out how many expansion slots I have? am using the GT-22 0000I (as in my devices) but I cannot find the technical specifications manual, there is alot of models and I have no idea which one is mine.

I am trying to add a third SSD to my PC and wanted to find out what expansions slots are available (currently using x2 NVME SDDs).

Hi:

Since according to the Product Information specs for the huge list of PC's that fall under that general model number, they all use the same motherboard, you can look up the motherboard specs.

There are two NVMe slots, so you are full up there.

Expansion slots

• (1) PCI Express 5.0 x16 lanes

• (1) PCI Express 3.0 x4 lanes

• (1) M.2 socket 1, key A, type 2230 for WLAN

• (2) M.2 socket 3, key M, type 2280 for SSDs (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4)

Thanks alot for the quick reply Paul, are the 2 PCIE slots available to use directly or is already one of them taken by the GPU(am assuming the PCIE x16 one). 

If not then that means I can use any of those x2 PCIE slot to add an extra SSD right ?

You're very welcome.

You should be able to use the PCIe 3 x 4 slot for a M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe adapter and use it for storage.

I would imagine that the PCIe 5.0 x 16 slot has a graphics card in it, doesn't it?

Yes it looks like it is being used by it, thanks alot for the help Paul and have a good day!
