Friend! I have some good news for you!

I have disassembled my laptop and saw almost the same picture. My laptop should have only 512 SSD and nothing more: no optane or HDD.

I have found i have something in my M2 bay, and found it is 512 SSD. So this plastic "HDD" with "OMEN" on it's face - IS NOT HDD! It is a plastic dummy, which is made to bring us a free HDD cable and brackets! 🙂 

So you can just remove this plastic dummy and instal normal HDD as i can 🙂

 

My bad news for cb00019ur is the fact, that the second M2 slot have no connector soldered, so there's no way to install secon M2 drive, or optane, or anything. :(((
