The spec sheet suggests that this already had an NVME hard drive in it and that would normally be your boot drive. Replacing the 1TB spinning disk with another SSD would likely provide less of a performance boost than you were expecting because you already had with the NVME drive. If you are now booting from the 970 drive instead of the stock NVME drive it will actually boot slower as the SATA connector is a bottle neck compared to the PCIe connector the NVME drive connects to.
