    Yes, the AN515-55 has 2x PCIe 3 x4 and 1x SATA-3 6GB/s for a 2.5”drive (up to 8TB capacity) space inside the laptop. The quickest PCIe 3 x4 M.2 drives for this laptop is either from WD 1TB SN750 Black (that I’ve fitted to my AN515-56 and it works much better than the oem M.2 drive) or the Samsung 979 Plus that both of these M.2 drives come in capacities of either 1TB or 2TB, don't fit PCIe 4 x4 as this laptop will never ever utilize the M.2 Gen 4 speeds and it will be a waste of money.
