Hi,

The best idea would be just to upgrade the M2 SATA3 SSD with a much faster M2 PCIe NVMe SSD one with much more capacity. There is no limit to capacity, so you could use a 1TB or even 2TB M2 PCIe NVMe SSD such as the Samsung 970  Evo Plus or cheaper Corsair MP510 or Crucial P1

It is possible to add another 2.5" SATA3 SSD or HDD, however you will need to purchase

hard drive bracket part number L19469-001.

hard drive cable part number L23889-001

you can perform an online search with part number and find the parts. They can be quite difficult to find. Then you can use any 2.5 Sata 3 SSD.
