    No, the A715-75G has only 1x slot for a PCIe Gen3x4, 3.3V M.2 that is secured with a 2.5mm screw (see caption below of the M.2 that is at the bottom left corner above the speaker and battery) the M.2 suitable can be as high as a Fast Data Transfer Rate (Mbits/sec, max) of 1900MB/S and there are "NO" provisions for a 2.5" SATA-3 HDD or SSD, the only solution is to swap your OEM M.2 SSD to a high capacity M.2 drive that will suite your needs or have an external HDD or SSD connected.

    Hi diXitreddy,

    As StevenGen said there is no slot for that.
