Actually 128GB is too small these days, I would suggest a 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD Gen 3 for the M.2 slot and for storage another 2.5" HDD will suffice, Gen 4 SSD also will work but it will be limitted to Gen 3 speeds.

Hi,
You have few options, if you already have a 128GB M.2 SSD in your laptop, you can upgrade it up to 1TB, if you don't want to do it, you can add another HDD of any size you prefer.
- If you want to upgrade 128GB SSD to a larger SSD, depending on the new M.2 SSD, you need a M.2 SSD enclosure, install the new SSD and clone your current SSD to it usin Macrium REflect free or similar program, replace the old drive with the cloned drive.
- You can also install another 2.5" SSD/HDD in the HDD bay for additional storage and keep the 128GB drive for OS.

would option 2 be as a backup storage. like the 128gb would be just for the os?. when i was looking at some m.2 they had different numbers. just as example - 500GB M.2 SSD • PCIe NVMe Gen 4 • 6600 MB/s Read, 4000 MB/s Write. or do i really need to look at the m.2 if this makes sense?

Be aware that your computer maxes out the M.2 slot at x2 speeds version 3, so don't go with the x4 version 4 drive, it would still run at the slower speed your system supports.
