I'm trying to understand how to install second SSD card here. The default one is fixed by a screw and all is okay. But what about second one? How it will take its place? And it should be longer? First one is short, second one is long? Wut? I don't understand. 

 

And another thing, if i'll manage to install two 512gb ssd's can i join them into raid? To have double speed? How it can be done if there are no such setting in bios?

    you can create the RAID0 from Intel iRST software, it's installed on your laptop.

    Which slot is PCI-E and which one is SATA? Photo frop first post, which one is used port and which one is empty one? Thx.

    Oh, i see. Used one has 3 segments = sata, empty one has 2 segments = pci-e

     

    I can install absolutely any pci-e ssd?

    Nope, it's the other way around. Used one is PCIe x4 empty one is SATA only.

    Google "m.2 key types", keys are the slots/missing pins

    Oh, looks like its M.2 - M Type... Oh... So complicated... Is it at least the best one? Fasterest one?

    The used slot is ideed M keyed and can work with PCIx4 or SATA drives, NVME PCIx4 drives are the fastest SSDs you can get right now.

     

    The SSD inserted is B+M keyed, and can be inserted in both B and M slots, but in both cases it will work as a SATA drive.

     

    A NVME drive will be only M keyed and will work only on a M slot.
