You can install a Samsung - 990 Pro 2 TB drive, but since there is only one M.2 NVMe slot, you will have to replace the 512 GB NVMe SSD with the 2 TB Samsung NVMe SSD.

Just note that since the M.2 slot is only PCIe Gen 3.0, the Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds.

This table shows the maximum transfer speeds each PCIe slot generation can provide:
