Could somebody help me? I want to add more storage and the ssd of 995gb almost run out of space. I went into benchmark to see the model I had and buy the same one but it says I have another one but I can't find it in my PC.

Here is the benchmark results:

UserBenchmarks: Game 156%, Desk 108%, Work 159% CPU: Intel Core i7-11700F - 106.6% GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 - 146% SSD: WDC PC SN530 SDBPNPZ-1T00-1014 1TB - 265.9% SSD: Nvme Samsung SSD 970 EVO PLUS 500GB - 319.7% RAM: Kingston ACR32D4U2S8HD-8X 2x8GB - 96.2% MBD: Acer Predator PO3-630

And here is a pic of my PC:

I bought this PC from someone and I'm pretty new to all of this, so I have no idea if I'm looking into the wrong thing or where to look for it.

    This model supports two hard disk drive (HDD) bays that can accommodate either 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA HDDs. It also supports 7200 rpm SATA HDDs with capacities of 1TB, 2TB, or 3TB.

    Also, supports two M.2 slots for Solid State Drives (SSD), with capacities of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB.

    Ohhh okay, in my PC is empty but now i know that's where the HDD go!

    So i'm assuming the only storage my PC has right now is the 1 TB SSD, i'm just confused why the benchmark score showed up another one. I don't know if that site is reliable.

    You already have two SSDs installed in the two M.2 slots, a 1TB Western Digital and a 500GB Samsung. You could replace either of those with a larger one. If it's the C: drive that's running out of room you might think in terms of moving a bunch of user data to D: instead.

    Okay so I'm pretty sure only one M.2 slot is being currently used by the 1TB SSD. The other M.2 slot is empty and in Disk Management only the 1TB which is the C: drive shows up.

    The drives shown in your User Benchmarks above are:

    WDC PC SN530 SDBPNPZ-1T00-1014 1TB - 265.9%

    SSD: Nvme Samsung SSD 970 EVO PLUS 500GB - 319.7%

    Though when I look at the picture of your MB it doesn't show a second drive installed. Likely there is an issue with the benchmark software you are using. This is the one I see:

    I expect that is the Western Digital, since you say your drive is a 1TB. Here is the slot for the second drive:

    Since you are using way more space than most people do, I'd be tempted to put a 2TB in that slot instead of another 1TB.
