I have an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57 and would like to add an extra SSD in the right hand slot.

Would the Crucial P5 Plus 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD - Up to 6600MB/s - CT1000P5PSSD8 be compatible with my laptop?

The right-hand slot is the SSD2 M.2 SSD slot for a slave drive (the left is the SSD1 which is the boot slot, be aware of that) as both slots are of the PCIe 4x4 specs

There are two SSD M.2 PCIe slots (with RAID 0 option) – Slot marked # 1 is for PCIe drives-only but Slot marked # 2 supports both PCIe and SATA drives if slot # 2 is marked PCiE / SATA (see picture).

On the left side (marked #1) is Gen 4 compatible, the Right side (marked #2) is Gen 3 compatible if marked with PCIE / SATA.

Open the laptop and see what is marked above the # 2 slot, if PCIE/SATA mark in slot2, you can only use a Gen3 M.2 SSD in the second slot, if you see only PCIe marked in the second slot, you can use 4th Gen NVMe SSD in the second slot. The crucial will work at Gen 3 speed in slot # 2 if the slot is marked PCIE / SATA. 1TB no problem.
