Gigabyte Aero delivered on time this morning, still setting up and making friends.

I Knew I would want to upgrade storage but wanted to be 100% certain what I had before I order.

It is not all that easy to be certain but I think I have an Aero 17 HDR YB (maybe YA) It is 10th generation i9 and Gigabyte say it has 2 M.2 SSD slots each supporting 1x NVme PCI 7 SATA. However, one review of a similar model suggested that the spare slot doesn't have room for a full size m2.

i have searched Gigabyte's site high and low but can find no detailed reference. I phone to add to my order yesterday but o'clockers phone line guy thought both slots are occupied. According to Windows there is a single 500GB ssd, suggesting the 2nd is available but how do I find out if a full sized m2 card fits. I am pretty certain nothing with a heatsink will fit.

Tahnk you for taking the time to read.
 
Thanks snapshot. I'm going to give a go tomorrow. Just trying to avoid warranty issues. I find it frustrating that manufacturers don't give any/easy access to full tech documentation.
