I've Acer Predator Helios 300 i7 12th gen ( 2022 ) 512GB SSD variant. I want to know if is there an additional slot to insert 2nd SSD?

If yes, then which type of SSD can I insert?

I want to insert 1TB SSD, is there any good suggestions you can give?

    Hi @Mauryan please indicate the exact model of the equipment (PH-???) to consult the service manual and the version of Windows.

    All the best.

    Both of your Predator PH315-55 M.2 SSD drives slots are of a PCIe 4x4 M.2 2280 and the best and fastest NVMe for your laptop is Gen4 Samsung 980Pro or the newer Gen4 990Pro, 1TB for each slot no problem but if you buy the 990Pro get the type without heatsink otherwise the back cover won't close.
