HI all
My son just bought a Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2814no
An very quickly he almost used all of the storage for his games - so he bought a Samsung 970 EVO SSD MZ-V7S1T0BW 1TB M.2 PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) - But there is no room for it on the MOB
I thought there was room Because ther is 2 x M2 on the MOB - But they are both in use, and one of them also very small "room" think it is called M key... Maby a wi-fi modul.
So my question is - what type of storage is the best and quickest for that PC ( TG01-2814no) What dos he need to buy?
Is it best to get a SATA or a PICe x1 ?
Does the PSU have cabels to expand with a SATA SSD - Does he need a bracket to fit it?
Hope som expert can help us to get the right stuf

Its specs
https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c07681166
It says 2 M.2 slots but only one for storage with 1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD (key M), and another one is for the Realtek 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2x2) Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® 5 combo (key A) adapter (this slot is not suitable for storage).
The SATA port is suitable for a 3.5" HDD, you can also use this port for 2.5" SATA SSD but you need an adapter to secure 2.5" on 3.5" bay. For example
