so I want to get a Predator Helios 300 with i7 7700hq gtx 1060 16gb 1 tb hdd 256gb ssd. Is the ssd m.2 or normal? If it’s m.2 can it be pcie m.2 or only sata m.2? Is the hdd 2.5 in? Are any of these upgradable? What’s the max amount of storage? What brands? Can I have a 2.5 in ssd and a m.2 ssd?

    The laptop has both ports M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA 3 for 2.5inch drives. The 2.5inch drives you can install should be no more than 9.5mm thick, otherwise it won't fit. Any brand will work with any amount of storage.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
