predator orion 3000 po3 620 er12 motherboard specs?

I have been trying to find the exact specs for the 3000 po3 620 motherboard, and nothing has them. A motherboard picture would be grand as well.

If this information is somewhere, it's well hidden, not even searching the Acer site found anything.

I found some good specs and a picture for the 640, an ok picture and specs for the 630 (both on this forum), but nothing for the 620.

Failing that, what I really want to know is if I can put a Samsung 990 Pro M.2 2280 4TB PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe SSD inside this thing. I've got 48 GB of RAM and a RTX 4060 ti in it now, all I need is more storage space and I should be good for a few more years.

It looks like I could on a 640, maybe on a 630, but I simply don't know on a 620. The existing SSD is a 512, and I saw some comments that it is limited to 1 TB, probably because it is limited in size, but the 640 has three (3) M.2 SSD ports, so I was wondering if this thing has other ports and it just isn't exactly advertised (it's not clearly stated for the other models, despite the ports being on the m-board, so it is possible).

I was really surprised/ annoyed that Acer doesn't exactly give you this information. And the user manual is[Hide the sensitive Content]. The manual I had for my old Alienware was fantastic, anything I wanted to know, I could find.

So, if some kind soul here could provide me with this information, that would be much appreciated.

Also… anyone know why some 620s have 2 USB 3-A ports on the back, and others have 4 (mine has 4)? The specs only say there are 2, but there are definitely 4.

Of course the USB specs say 2 type 2, 3 type 3-A, and 1 type 3-C, and then says there are 8 USB ports, so clearly whoever did the specs had a problem with math.

I'm sure it's been posted, but it never hurts to report:

You can certainly put that drive in, but you won't get gen 4 performance out of it, since the M.2 PCIe slot is gen 3. The slot supports both SATA and NVMe, but it's NVMe x4 3.0 at the max. There is no real limits to the SSD size, short of your pocketbook and current technology. You can go with 2TB or 4TB, but 8TB and larger are getting pretty expensive. I put a pair of 8TB HDDs in my PO5-640 (the PO5 and PO7 model lines have larger cases, so more room for drives) in RAID1 for slow storage and have 2TB SSDs for the faster stuff.
