I’m looking if there is a limit on the amount of hard drink storage I can purchase for the device. Can the 2.5 inch SSD be a 2TB drive? Can the M.2 be a 2260  1TB if I can find it. Or are they limited to 1tb and 512gb?

Basically no limit, ONLY limit by physical sizes of the drives.

 

For example: 2.5" HDD's over 2TB are thicker due to more platters. Same as for M.2 SSD's, they are longer than 2280 or double sided make them thicker. 

 

Regards.

So what I read from this is that the computer won’t support m.2 dual sided ssd. I cannot find any reputable sources for a 2260 sized ssd. All leads I chase down from reputable manufacturers are not clear as to the size of the SSD

 

any suggestions?
